A Special Thank You

The purpose of this post is to say thank you. About a week ago, my brother-in-law, Matt, came down ill and was taken to the hospital. Not two days later, he was life-flighted to Spokane, Washington because his pneumonia had worsened. It has been a long week, but he has finally stabilized and is improving little by little.

In the process, however, not only have we, as a family, seen miracles in Matt's progress, but those around us have bound together to bless our lives. Thank you! Thank you to...

...the hundreds of family members and friends who have prayed unceasingly for Matt and for our family.

...the cousins, sisters, and other women and men who
helped in caring for Jaxon, Ty, Caleb, Zach and Jessa for the past week by taking them to and from activities, school and tending them, and continue to do so.

...the stake and ward members who fasted for Matt and his health. As sacrament meeting was closing this last Sunday, Matt was taken off the ventilator. I know that this was not a coincidence.

...the Young Women of the Rolling Hills Ward who have volunteered their time after school to play with the kids this week. You are amazing.

...the many people who have brought in meals and food to provide for the family.

...those who have called, texted, emailed, etc., showing their concern and asking how Matt is progressing.

...those who have visited Matt in the hospital, and have gone above and beyond to help the family.

...our Heavenly Father for answered prayers, and for the many miracles we have seen this week.
