I am grateful for:
- My husband. His strength, his valor, and his perpetual optimism. For anyone that knows me, they know that I HATE staying in the hospital. I despise being woken up every few hours, I loathe the uncomfortable hospital beds, and hospital food leaves a LOT to be desired. I don't know if Jason has just become accustomed to it or what, but these unplanned hospital stays don't even seem to phase him anymore. He is my hero.
- Wi-Fi. Yes, I know it sounds silly, even petty at this point. But I sincerely appreciate that I can be here at my husband's bedside and still get my homework done so I can stay caught up with my classes.
- Capable doctors, caring nurses, friendly aides and technicians. I have never had an experience as comforting and reassuring when it comes to dealing with the medical profession as this one has been.
- AMAZING FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I am so so so grateful for all the concern and support that has been shown by all those who love and care about our little family. I am especially grateful for Karyn. She was my knight in shining armor yesterday. I have the tendency to behave like an emotional basket case when faced with the unknown. Karyn dropped everything to run to my aid and help me with Emee. I am also deeply indebted to my younger brother Josh. When everything happened yesterday he drove four hours round-trip to come and give Jason a blessing. His actions were the type that make me so humble. I hope that if I were in the same situation I would behave with such compassion. To add to the list, I am so thankful for Cortney, my mom, and all the others who have offered to watch Emslee. Hanging out in the hospital is a difficult task for a curious, adventurous toddler. I am grateful beyond words that she gets to play at home with people she loves who love her back.
- Phone calls, emails, text messages, etc. I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond to each individually, but I sincerely appreciate knowing everyone's thoughts and prayers are with us.
