So many things are falling into place for us as we prepare for our trip to the Mayo Clinic. Brian managed to fly home on Thursday evening and surprised us. He wasn't due until Friday night, so that bought an extra 24 hours for him to get some things done before we take off again. We have awesome friends/family who have stepped up to help with some of the details that need to be taken care of while we're away. Annie loves "doggie day care" at mom & dad's house, so that will be fun for her.
Amy has slowly been trying to do more and more each day, and yesterday she probably overdid it. She was on her feet a LOT...for the first time in days without crutches. Today she's paying for it. Her ankle is still dark and sensitive to touch and putting weight on it is hard. But soon we hope to have answers!!!!
Thank you SO much for continuing to pray for us. Despite everything, we still feel tremendously blessed and grateful. While this isn't the life we would have chosen for Amy, it's the hand we've been dealt and I'm constantly amazed at her positive outlook and grateful heart. She still laughs and sings and writes beautiful stories and loves to cook...none of that has been taken away from her.
On another note, Laura will finish up her internship in Denver on Tuesday and has had a fabulous time. Working for Kiewit has been an incredible opportunity for her! She'll be home for a few days this week with Bethany and then she'll move back to her campus to get ready for her senior year. Wedding plans are slowly coming along. Bethany started her junior year of high school this week which just astounds me. Between her volunteer work and homework, we probably won't see her much. She's constantly busy, but that's how she likes it. Too much down time bores her.
Well, keep checking back for updates. I'll try to stay on top of things while we're away. Thanks again for your prayers!
