Church was nice today.  So much love and care.  Prayers are assuring.  We're thankful to be in the many wonderful communities here.  Our church community, neighborhood community, school and band communities, athletic team communities.  So many loving people.  The generous offers of help are amazing.  Thank you all.  I wish we knew more now so that we could take advantage of the offers.  That will come in time, I'm sure, though.  In the meantime, know that if you are reading this blog (and it's been read at least 561 times) we are thankful for your care, love, help, and most of all prayers.


We got a visit from my mom and dad, Corby and Emily today.  It was nice and comforting to have them here.  We got to catch up a bit, play ball with Jonah, watch Clara crawl around and catch fireflies with Aaron.  Mom is going to stay on for a few days at least and help us with the kids and the house.  We're so thankful for family and great care.


Clara ate 4 oz. of formula today and will almost certainly have more than that tomorrow.  If you've been praying for her, it's working.  I made only 2 oz. tonight so I don't keep wasting it.  She chugged it all and fell asleep in my arms.  Almost like nursing.  If I had made more she would have drunk it.


We're full of nervousness and anticipation for this week.  Most people look forward to the weekend, but not when you're waiting for medical procedures.  Things don't happen on the weekends unless you're in the ER.  Blood isn't drawn, scans aren't done, labs don't analyze. All we do is wait.  The waiting stinks.
