A note of thanks

I am sitting here in Liam's hospital room just listening to him breathe while he sleeps. I am thankful that he won't remember any of this. I am thankful that this was not worse than it could have been. I am thankful to our family who have been such a constant source of support and a reminder that they are never more than a few hours away. I am thankful to our friends: The Kuykendalls for taking our dogs in; The Fischers for providing food, and chauffeuring my car around; to Daniel for the coffee, bagels and prayer; to the Hendersons for taking the time to bring us food and company; to so many that I can't even remember them all right now...and for that I apologize.

I am thankful for our health. I am thankful for our home. I am even thankful that Eric is not currently working so that he can be with Liam while he recovers. I am thankful that Eric was laid off before the baby and not after, because I might have left my job beforehand to be a stay-at-home mom. I am thankful for our health insurance. I am thankful to have my job and coworkers that understand the importance of family.

I am especially thankful and grateful for the prayers we have received: from Washington DC to Puerto Rico, from Louisiana to Kansas, from New Mexico to California. I am thankful that God is in control, even when we don't know what his plan is. Thank you.

From our humble hearts, thanks.
