Thankful

Today I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who have loved on our family so well the past couple of months-- from family members who have come in at the last minute to lend a hand or just be there for encouragement to our church family who has truly walked with us on this long journey. We have received notes of encouragement from all over the country, literally. My girls have been loved on so well by friends who took them to play so I could be at the hospital. Daddy's co-workers have been super sweet in calling to check on him faithfully and letting us pester them as we try to figure out all the logistics of Daddy going on disability and/or retiring (and here's a shout out to Ida who has been incredible and really taken care of the logistics for us). I have just been thinking about this today, and overwhelmed with God's goodness to our family so I wanted to say so. I imagine that if you read this blog, then you are a part of that and we are blessed by the time you have taken to lift Daddy and us up in prayer.

PS -- There's not much change with Daddy today but we had a productive meeting with his surgeon and the nurses to get us all on the same page and make sure Daddy knows what he has to do to get out of the hospital, and we know best how to help him.
