A Picture Says a Thousand Words....

Home SWEET Home

YOU DID IT!!  YOU NEVER CEASED WITH YOUR PRAYERS AND YOU HELPED BRING JEFF HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It happened very quickly.  I know I said yesterday we hoped Kenzie would hug her dad real soon but "God is Good" and today she saw him for this first time since last Sunday, and she was able to hug him in our living room!!!


We know we have a long road to recovery ahead.  As the doctor said, when referring to our darker day Wednesday, "you don't want to win the battle and lose the war".   We are thankful for God's hand through this trial.  Jeff said, "although it wasn't pleasant and more hard work is ahead, if I had a chance to do it all over again, I would tell God 'Yes!' in a heartbeat."  (no pun intended)


We love all of you.  We hope you will continue to join us on our journey into this next phase.  We may not be updating as often, although Jeff does have a list of "tips" for hospital survival to share with you.  I'm sure you will be on the edge of your seats waiting for that in depth perspective.  However, in the meantime, we are going to take time to enjoy being home together as a family of four after spending SIXTEEN roller coaster days in the hospital.  


We still are not allowed visitors, as Jeff is at high risk for developing an infection.  Once his doctor lifts this restriction, we will let you know. 


Thanks again!


God is Good!!!!!! ALL the time!!!!!!!!!!
