Eden's Birthday

What a monumental day in a child's life! Eden turned two today. She received a wonderful gift today . . . a blood transfusion. (Probably the most expensive gift she will ever receive too.) Eden's numbers were low today and have been dropping so we spent most of the day up at the clinic. Thank you to those of you who are blood donors, you really improved our day! Eden had a special visitor this afternoon after we got home from the clinic. Molly, her four-footed friend is always a delightful treat for Eden (and a very low germ risk for her.) All-in-all, she had a good birthday and we are very blessed.

Our clinic day this week is Thursday. We will keep you posted on how her visit goes. As always, we are grateful for you our supporters and prayer partners.

  1. Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! We hope and pray that all of your wishes come true! I have thought about you all day today....especially tonight when I had Trevor at kindergarten round-up and I had to write the date over and over. The first thing Jared said when he got up today was "Today is Eden's birthday!" We are thankful that your transfusion went well and did it's job! We're praying for a good clinic day for you, too. The weather is suppose to get better as the week goes on so we hope that you can enjoy being outside.

    God Bless you and all and Happy Birthday!!
    Love,
    Heidi
