Abundant Blessing

What a surreal day we had today! You can imagine how humbled we were by the 650 people, family and friends, from hours away and 3 states who took time out of their busy schedules to support us - THANK YOU. One can not comprehend how humbled we are by the generosity and love shown towards our family. You hope no one has to go through our circumstances but we hope you will have a time in your life that you will feel as loved as we do now. God has truly shown us how HE will supply all our needs (especially through all of you) . . . from the first care package brought to us at the hospital, meals brought to us at the perfect times and then today . . .

We must acknowledge the generosity of your donations today. Your financial donations to help cover our additional expenses over these years were more than we could have asked for. And, to be honest, there are not words to sufficiently acknowledge those who headed up organization of the event: Kurt's entire office and our friends. A special thanks to Teresa, Jeannie, Suzanne & Rick. By acknowledging a few, we KNOW we have left out so many of you. Please know how much we appreciate you all!!!

It was great to have had the chance to visit with many of the people at Eden's benefit, but we feel bad and apologize for not being able to visit with everyone that took the time to come support our family. Just seeing your faces leaves such a lasting impression. We joyfully went through the guestbook with Eden today to share with her all the people who came to support her. We know there are so many memories created today that we will reflect on especially during the peaks and valleys that the next couple of years will present.

Now, about the star of the show herself, Eden. God is good! Eden's Friday morning labs showed she did not need a blood transfusion. Eden is still wanting to go see her friends at the clinic; but, we are glad we did not have to go see them on Friday. The jumps in her counts indicate that we will be able to continue with her chemo this week. As of right now, we are on for a stay in the hospital Wednesday night after her clinic visit as part of her treatment plan.

Friends, God has blessed us so abundantly by giving us YOU! Your support, friendship, prayers, time, and financial gifts have drastically improved this journey and helped make it through the days we were unable to go through alone. We love you!
