Quite a Christmas...a fitting ending to quite a year.

blessed christmas...

Christmas has come and gone for 2009...it seems so amazing how quickly it comes and then how quickly it passes. Reflecting today on the blessings of a season today and it leaves me so thankful.

Christmas Eve was spent with my family enjoying a traditional Southern meal...my Mom hails from Texas and cooking is one of her biggest talents in my opinion. So we enjoyed a very satisfying meal and company...it's seems so surreal to me that my nephews are in their twenties and my niece will be 16 this coming year. Talk about making a person feel old. I can vividly remember when they were Camryn's age and enjoying Christmas with them and now watching them enjoy it with my kids just brings a smile to my face. After hanging out for awhile we headed to church for the Christmas Eve service. This quite possibly could be one of my fondest Christmas memories from my childhood...going to church, sitting with my extended family, singing about Christmas, getting a box of candy at the end. Christmas Eve holds some of my most cherished childhood memories and it never fails that sometime on Christmas Eve I find myself right back there and I smile. We got to church and sat up in the balcony away from as many people as possible...funny how the front row of the balcony was the entire Mikels family. I love watching Camryn and Wyatt enjoy their extended family, some great memories in the making.

After church we headed back to my parent's house for more food and presents. Camryn and Wyatt were so excited and helped Makenna pass out all the gifts. They also very much were into their presents and enjoyed the fun of opening...they were incredibly blessed! All the while Wyatt gave us a play by play of each gift, just kept cracking us up with this dialogue. Later we headed home and the little ones crashed after leaving cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Jason and I had a few little things to do to prepare for Christmas morning and then off to bed we went too. Oh the fun of Christmas Eve and the coming of Christmas morning.

Christmas morning Jason make monkey bread for us, which is going to become our tradition. I feel like this year Jason and I did the best job we have done in creating traditions and memories for our family of four and I have enjoyed it. We opened stockings and presents while the monkey bread baked, then we ate and just enjoyed a lazy morning together. It was wonderful! I absolutely loved not having to race through our morning to get to our next destination. After we got ready and the kids played with some of their new toys we headed to Jason's parents for our Mikels Christmas.

Boy what a day...there are seven kids under seven so it is a full house with lots of Christmas spirit. We hung out, opened presents, ate a good dinner and hung out some more. Wyatt was in a bit of a funk, he was exhausted and just fighting a bit of a cold I think. But, he perked up for presents! Camryn had a blast playing with her cousins, she absolutely adores all of them and truly they are her best friends. Camryn and James played secret spies together and I promise I had flash backs to my days playing with my cousins and it was priceless.

We are beyond blessed this year...

Even though this year in no way went the way we expected it to, it took turns that we would have rather it not. But, we are blessed. Our families which have been a gift to us this year, walking with us through a very tough year for us. Our children who have proven to amaze us constantly with their spirit, fight and love. But as we sat in church I was reminded of Jesus' birth...

His coming into this world...into my messy life to redeem, to give me hope, to give me a future. To turn my pain, my struggles, my questions, all of it into something beautiful with him. Because only in His coming do we have the hope of being with Him and that has been my Christmas gift this year.

This year has been hard, I won't lie...there have been moments of utter desperation and despair and yet moments of great hope and promise. And to know that 2,000 years ago a baby was born to pay for my sins even before they were committed...to love me even when I am unlovable...to save me...to give me more than I will deserve...

To give me life...

I guess you could say that is our biggest blessing this Christmas...Life and life abundantly.

***And yes there are lots of pictures that I'll post soon***

day +201...

Yep, you read that right...Camryn has pasted 200 days! We are so thankful, 200 days that have been a whole range of emotions, but mostly the emotion is thankful!

Last night we went and looked at Christmas lights with some friends and their families, we truly had a wonderful time. Camryn is Little Miss Holiday, seriously this girl has event planner in her future! She loved looking at all the details of the decorations and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Wyatt enjoyed the fun too, but he spent most of his night on the look out for the Grinch. Wyatt hates the Grinch, he is scared of him. So Wyatt armed with a flashlight was on the lookout and if he saw on he had to keep on eye on him. He was too funny!

We enjoyed the evening...I think this might be one of the best Christmas seasons we have had as a family. The kids are much more into it and they are enjoying some traditions. Jason and I are enjoying creating some traditions and enjoying the fun of family this year!

Today was Camryn's clinic appointment...since both me and Jason are on vacation we decided to both go and bring Wyatt along to see everyone. We headed out bright and early, made it to clinic is great time and saw our usual favorites of friends. Camryn was on cloud nine to have Wyatt with her. We saw Dr. Ed and he was pleased with Camryn and her progress...Dr. A stopped in to say hi and wish us a Merry Christmas. We love Dr.A, he has been a huge blessing to us! We saw Nurse Maureen because Nurse Charlotte wasn't there, but true to Nurse Charlotte form she had a Christmas gift waiting for Camryn. And Camryn had one for her too! These two have quite a bond, I love it! When it came time for labs since Nurse Charlotte was not there we thought Camryn would just do her labs in clinic and not go over to procedure center. Well, we were wrong. Camryn headed over to procedure and asked one of the nurses there if they would please do her labs...it was too cute! Sid said they would and asked her if she wanted to get her supplies together and of course she did. I stood in awe as Camryn went to the supplies, pulled out all the necessary vials, all the right colored tops, the flushes, alcohol wipes, and the stat stickers even...yep, she is in full command of her care and I love it!

We have always known that there was something unique about Camryn in that from a very early age she loved helping the nurses and being completely aware of every detail of her care. And now at almost 6 she is completely engrossed in it and you know I love that the nurses there allow her to be her. As Maureen drew her labs and Camryn chatted with her about her lumen's and their names I just smiled at this wonder I am gifted with in Camryn. She leaves me speechless.

And sitting just a chair away another wonder...Wyatt wasn't fully sure of clinic. He did not want a bracelet, he did not want the doctors to look at him, but boy was he aware of his sister and did not let her out of his sight. I sometimes wonder if he thinks she is staying at UCLA so he stays close to make sure she is coming home with him. As he sat watching all the ends and outs of Camryn's exam and listened as Dr. M came to chat I just marveled at this miracle in curtain area 4...two little kids who just amaze me moment by moment.

Dr.M came to see us and it was great to see him. He said that he wants everything to stay the same throughout this Christmas week, doesn't want to mess with anything so that Camryn has an event free Christmas, medical event that is. Starting Monday Camryn's steroids will be every other day...WOOHOO! And her clinic visits moved to every three weeks...another YAY! Camryn was happy to see Dr.M as he has traveled quite a journey with her since 2 years old...and Wyatt since he was born.

We said our good-byes and Merry Christmases and headed over to the "big hospital" as Camryn calls it. We went to the third floor to deliver the gifts we were given to donate to the Hemoc kids. Camryn was thrilled to share the gifts with the hospital, excited to give to kids who as Camryn put it, "are just like me." We said hello to some of our nurses and dropped off a little treat.

As we headed home feeling incredibly blessed by the amazing people who take sweet care of our little girl. Words cannot adequately express our gratitude...they are our heroes.

Tonight we baked some Christmas cookies and decorated them, although Wyatt had more fun eating all the decorations before they made it on the cookies.

I must admit that I really enjoy the pace of vacation this year...I don't feel rushed, but rather we are enjoying our days together. We are thankful...grateful and appreciating the immeasurable gift of Christmas.

And along the way saying many thanks for 200 plus days...

the most wonderful time of the year...

Today was one of those wonderful days during this wonderful time of the year...

Last night Jason and I had talked about maybe heading up to Ventura and hanging out at the beach for a bit, then I checked on my nephew's basketball schedule and saw that his team had a game today, then my friend E sent me a message letting me know where we could go see Santa without the rush of crowds and it was outdoors, doubly great! So those three things were options today...I really didn't think that we would do them all, but Jason said let's try it! So...

To start with Daddy made us waffles this morning which was quite a treat! The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed them...Yummy! Then we told the kids about heading to the beach and they were overjoyed! So excited! We packed up the car and headed out. Camryn and Wyatt absolutely LOVE Ventura, the sand, the rocks, the swings, all of it...so it was their little piece of heaven today. It was a gorgeous day at the beach, beautiful...





















As we were walking to the car I looked at Jason and said, "That was quite possibly the best day we've ever spent at the beach." To which he nodded, "Yes, and what a great way to start vacation." And you know I couldn't agree more...

But, the day was not over...

We loaded up in the car and drove down the 101 to Cal Luthern University to see my nephew's basketball team play. We got there during the second half which was perfect, I don't think Camryn and Wyatt are up for a complete game. Camryn loved it...she was very into the game, asking all sorts of questions about the teams and cheering very loudly..."Go Joshy's team!" Yes, she loves her cousin Joshy very much...and was quite proud of him coaching! :) Wyatt enjoyed the game, but was a little antsy...yep, he is a player not a spectator. After the game was over Camryn and Wyatt took a walk with their Joshy to see all the trophies and such...yep, it makes my heart smile seeing them love their cousins so much. But as one of Josh's players said, "it's pretty hard not to love Josh." Indeed it is.

We said our good-byes and see you soons and headed home. What fun we had! So thankful for such a fun day, but it wasn't over yet...

We got home, changed our clothes and waited for my mom and dad to pick us up to head to Pasadena to see Santa and the pretty decorations. We had a wonderful time...thank you E for the tip, it was absolutely perfect! We walked and saw Santa, the pretty tree, A Christmas Carol playing on the building...a beautiful evening, guess some wintery weather would have made it perfect, but for So Cal it was pretty near perfect!






We had a wonderful day as a family...truly perfect. It was a wonderful start to our vacation and quite possibly the best day we have had together in a long time. Today felt like *real* life...did not feel like leukemia, cancer life, but our life...

And our life today was just a blessing...

family...

Today I was reminded of a very special family that we are a part of...the VCS family. Village Christian Schools has been a family for me since before I was born, yes you read that right. My parents both worked at Village for forty plus years so I have been a part of Village literally forever! And today I was reminded what an amazing family it is...

Village is a K-12 Christian school so many of the students travel through as "lifers" or for a few years here and there. I graduated from Village as did Jason so we hail as alumni of a very special place. Village is where Camryn and Wyatt too will hopefully attend school and be loved on by some of the most amazing people I know.

But tonight it was not the teachers who amazed me, it was a group of students.

I have taught at Village for 11 years and I have had the privilege of teaching middle school and high school. Being there 11 years has allowed me to teach some kids in middle school and then have them again as high schoolers. It is quite a gift to be able to see how students grow and develop through the years.

Tonight when we arrived home a group of Senior girls had dinner made for my family as their Bible class took on the Christmas project of giving to my family. As I looked at these faces I just smiled...these were my students in middle school and again when they were in tenth grade and here now they stood as Seniors. Their love and gifts to my family leaves me speechless...

I am proud of these students, so proud. Who they have become makes me so proud...truly the Lord has amazing plans for their lives.

Thank you, to each of you. For dinner, for notes, for flowers, for gifts and also for gifts for the other kids at UCLA. Your kindness and generosity is a gift beyond measure.

Much love and many hugs to each of you...I love you!

unhooked...

So this morning I unhooked Camryn from her IV fluids for the last time...hopefully! As of right now we are keeping our fingers crossed that Camryn stays healthy and her tummy cooperates.

Camryn was super excited to be pump free...she's had it for 15 nights. So the thought of tonight "just" going to bed was welcome to her. In fact she sweetly said, "Mom tomorrow morning I can sneak in your room without having to call you to come unhook me...I'm glad I can snuggle with you again."

Me too Cam, me too!

"really awesome"...

That were the exact words of Camryn's nurse practitioner when describing Camryn's labs today. Woohoo!

Camryn did not have to go to clinic on Tuesday and so far we are staying clinic free for the week (knock on wood). So back to our schedule before Camryn's three day stint in the hospital, her home care nurse came and took her labs. I was at work, but my mom said that Camryn was quite the little helper for her nurse. Knowing what supplies were needed and even knew exactly where to go to get the extra flush her nurse needed. Yep, our little girl knows far too much about all of this, but she takes control of her care and I think it honestly gives her a sense of control over all of this.

Camryn's labs were great, awesome...her liver enzymes were well within the normal range. Her hemoglobin, white counts, platelets all were great...we are so thankful!

We are almost through with the IV fluids, only tonight and tomorrow left...we've got our fingers crossed that once the IV fluids end that Camryn continues to do as well as she is. Quite frankly Camryn is doing fabulous! She is eating well, taking her meds like a pro and being active. Yes, she is better and we are hopeful it will continue!

We never tire of good labs...week by week they are our encouragement that Camryn is doing well. She is having a few ups and downs, but really that's to be expected. This journey of transplant is never quick and easy...it's a marathon run and we are only on our first mile. :) Maybe in 26 years we'll breath easy...Camryn would be 31 then, only 3 years younger than me. Yes, I think then we might see the end in sight. :)

But for now at five we will celebrate some "really awesome" labs. As I told Camryn today that her labs were awesome she coolly replied, "Thanks!" Thanks marrow for doing a fantastic job, but more than that...

Thank you Lord for some great labs...You deserve credit for the miracle working in Camryn's marrow!

catching up...

Thankfully the last week has been quite a contrast of the week before!

Camryn has done super this past week and she is well on her way to being a 100%. She still gets her nightly IV fluids and will continue for about four more days...it's going well, not nearly as big of a hassle as I had envisioned. We added the pump to our nightly ritual and I won't lie it's pushed our nightly routine to about an hour getting everything ready for Camryn to go to bed...but, thankfully it's working and she's doing well.

We are very grateful to have our girl back...her smile, her laugh, her spirit, her everything. When Camryn is sick it just brings back so many rough memories, things just don't seem to click and it leaves our family of four just surviving...not really living. We hold our breath and all of us, Wyatt included long for the day when Cam is okay. Seeing her and Wyatt building train tracks all over the house, playing cars and making little videos on her computer just makes my heart smile...and it does me good.

I am grateful that we got through this virus before Christmas vacation, the thought of spending Christmas battling this was enough to bring me to tears. I am having a hard enough time feeling like we have taken steps backward this Christmas, so the thought of a sick Camryn just was too much. But, she is back...helping me wrap gifts like crazy, enjoying the holiday crafts she is doing with her teacher and loving every second of the holiday season. Yep, there is much to celebrate.

Wyatt is doing great...thrilled beyond belief that his best friend is back in action. Loves having his Camryn all better! He is enjoying spending time playing and last night he read me a story...yep, he wants to go to school too! Although Wyatt is very excited for Christmas, he is having a hard time understanding the "Christmas season" and opening gifts on Christmas. Not quite understanding why the gifts just sit and wait....much more of a right now guy!

Jason and I are doing well...the ups and downs throughout this journey get tiresome. We are both very excited for Christmas vacation and some days of just being and catching our breath. Last night we had dinner at our friends house and it was so nice, to be out amongst friends...it was a much needed evening out and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to M&C for having us over.

We are trying to come up with some activities for the vacation, little things to do here and there. Just to enjoy time as a family...we are excited for the Christmas season! And very excited for 2010...

Another year...sometimes I wonder what it will bring? And other times I'm just thankful for this day. Caught living in the now and trying to not worry about tomorrow...

progress report...

When I got home from work today Camryn handed me a progress report for her first trimester of kindergarten. I stood and just looked at the paper, trying to not cry...as really this is a moment that we didn't know we would get.

Camryn has absolutely blossomed in school. She loves her teacher Miss F and we are so incredibly thankful for Miss F's love and concern for Camryn. Camryn has school three times a week for an hour and a half at a time; working on letters, numbers, reading, writing, crafts and seasonal fun. She has learned much and for that we could not be happier!

When Camryn relapsed and the dream of kindergarten was broken and drastically altered I remember praying and asking the Lord to "just get us through this year". For some reason I felt as though this year would just be a holding pattern of sorts and school life really would not begin until Camryn "went" to school. Boy was I wrong...and boy has the Lord blessed our socks off! To see Camryn thoroughly love learning...to see her desire for school days...to enjoy reading and to find that she has something that is hers. Never did I imagine this experience to be what it has been. It has been perfect...perfect for Camryn.

While Camryn goes to school, Wyatt hangs out in his room playing with my parents. He enjoys watching Camryn work on her homework and loves "learning" along with her. Wyatt has grown much in the last few months as well. I guess that's what time does...just makes them get bigger and bigger.

On the medical front...Camryn went to clinic yesterday and as Jason put it was back to her old self; chatting away to all the nurses and doctors. There were no tears, just smiles and enjoyment of the social event of the week. Camryn's labs came back great! Her white count and ANC had been a bit lower last week so we were very encouraged to see those numbers back on their way up. Her doctors were most pleased to see her bicarb levels back in normal range...a sign that Camryn is doing better. Basically the past week of throwing up has been chalked up to a virus of some sort, most likely the same one that put her in the hospital to begin with. Dr.A ordered a week more of IV fluids just to play it safe and get Camryn well on her way to feeling 100%. Although these days Camryn is going a hundred miles an hour completely making up for the past week. :)

Camryn heads back to clinic on the 22nd of December and hopefully we'll take some Christmas goodies to our friends and "family" at UCLA. We are most thankful for Camryn doing better before Christmas comes...so thankful!

God is good...

He meets us...

Throughout this past week He has met us in ways that seem so unexplainable and yet so needed. I received amazing emails from friends and family...and I cherish them. Emails that caused me to consider the amazing work of my Savior...realizing that in my limited vision things this past week seemed so out of whack. And quite frankly they were, but so was I.

The Lord and I had some deep conversations...I fell asleep a few nights crying...Woke up throughout the night to pray and beg Him for understanding. At the beginning of the week I was angry, I won't lie. All of this struggle seemed so unfair to me. Why was Camryn having to walk down these roads again? Why were we having to make numerous trips to clinic? And have our doctors number on redial?

Life seemed to be spinning out of control and I did not like it one bit. We were at our wits end and it seemed that Jason and I were beginning to really fray, our edges were getting rough...grace did not seem to flow. When you've had the rug pulled out from beneath you, you find yourself doubting if any foundation is sure. The Lord kept relentlessly pursuing me...He kept making Himself known and looking back the tears fall realizing that throughout a week when I did not quite know what to think, He was here. Always...

And looking back I can see that Satan was too...he caused me to fear, to doubt, to second guess everything I know to be true. To cause me to wonder if the Lord really did care...did He?

As I sat and really thought through some things I got a message from my dear friend who challenged me to not fear but hold true to the promise that God did not give us a spirit of fear...but of power! The Lord was not to be found in my fears...He would restore, He always does.

Then today I received the most amazing email from a former student...to say I am speechless would be an understatement, his words of his walk with Christ and the role Camryn's illness has played leaves me to say...

HE meets us. HE always meets us.

As Christmas approaches and the wonder of the holiday is upon us...as I hear songs claiming "it's the most wonderful time of the year" I wonder if the world really knows why it is. He met us...

He came not in the pomp and circumstance most thought appropriate for a king. He came in a humble manger...in the filth and dirt of the earth, to a young insignificant girl and boy...He met us.

Immanuel, God with us...

And He is with us still. Through a horrible week, to a glorious night, through the tears, to the smiles...

May He meet you...as He is meeting us still.

thoughts...

This has been a rough week in our household, many tears cried and many nights spent wondering what tomorrow might hold. Camryn has endured quite a week, with moments of feeling half way okay, but then moments of utter desperation. Wyatt has hated watching his big sister sick, he has tried with all his might to make her smile; but most of all he misses his best playmate ever. Jason and I are tired, Christmas vacation cannot come soon enough. We both need some time to catch our breaths since work started again, but mostly from this past week.



Even in the midst of the moments when Camryn has felt her absolute worst she is a fighter unlike any other. Moments this week were spent with tears streaming down her face explaining that it's not fair that she has to take all these medicines, that this just stinks...and yet she does it. She knows that it is what she needs, even if it is not what she wants.



Oh, this little face who is now closer to six than she is five...where in the world did the time go? How is it possible that this coming February will mark four years of her battle with leukemia? And yet...she captures my heart unlike any other. We would not trade a moment spent with her with anything...she has taught us much and for her we are grateful.



Sometimes I wonder what a story this little face could tell...Wyatt has not had the normal experience that most three year olds do. He has watched his sister take medicines, get her nightly shots, he helps with her line changes, he really has a very limited social life...all for the sake of his sister. He has donated cord blood, bone marrow...he has loved her and loved her well. Oh this little boy brings such hope and promise to our lives, we find ourselves most richly blessed by Wyatt.



How in the world did she get this big? Today has been a good day for Camryn and in light of this past week that is a very good thing. She threw up a little this morning, but since then has been much more herself...playing, chatting, talking up a storm and yes trying to eat. Now her appetite is not anything stellar, but little by little it's coming! We are so thrilled to be seeing glimpses of our little girl back...



Three years old...so much of Wyatt's life is marked by leukemia as it was a part of our lives only four days less than he was. But yet, the Lord's most precious gift to us came wrapped in a little guy named Wy whose smile and grin says it all...this life is to be lived...and God is good, always..




Oh how these two make the ride worthwhile...yes our journey as a family of four has not been anything that we would have chosen, but it has brought us closer. There is a bond unlike any other between these two...and as their mom I could not ask for more. Yes, this is not the dream I had of motherhood; this is not what I ever imagined it to be like...but it is enough, more than enough.



These were pictures taken today at the park. For the past couple weeks I have been wanting to go to try to get a picture for our Christmas card. Normally, I have a picture or two selected but not this year. This year I struggled to think how to capture our family...as we have gone through quite a transformation in 2009. So I thought it best to capture us in the now...in December of 2009. Because as we know lots can change between Christmases...

day +183...six months

Today marks six months since Camryn's transplant! Six months...half a year...what an incredible benchmark to be at without major incident.

Yes, we've had a rocky few weeks with the fever, 3 days in the hospital and now this past week...but in spite of those bumps in the road Camryn is SIX months post-transplant! Praise the Lord!

We are so incredibly thankful to be here today...we know that there are no givens in life, especially in the life of cancer, leukemia. We know that we are not guanteed any number of days, but yet we live day by day. And today Camryn has lived 183 of them...and we celebrate and say many thanks!

Many thanks to:

* Camryn's team at UCLA - quite possibly the most amazing group of people ever. Their love for our little girl never ceases to amazed me, their care, the hours, the concern and belief they have are treasures to us.

* Our parents - for walking this journey with us. It has not been easy and they have been steady sources of encouragement for me and Jason. We could not do what we have done without them.

* Our family - the countless prayers, the countless encouraging words and for being the biggest cheerleaders Camryn has we thank you!

* Our friends - who prove over and over their love for our family and we find ourselves most richly blessed.

* Our blog world - thank you to so many of you who we have never met, but have loved us so. We thank you for the prayers you have spoken on behalf of Camryn.

* Our Savior - without whom none of this would be possible. We thank you Lord for these six months...for the daily walk you take us on and for taking us by the hand five minutes at a time. Day by day, moment by moment...

We are humbled to be here...we are excited to be here...we cannot wait until six more months...

****A little update too****

Camryn has kept her meds down today! And she ate a little dinner and kept it down! Woohoo!

rough patch...

So for the last few days we have hit a major rough patch at our house...

Camryn has not been doing all that well, her patch does not seem to help as it appeared to at first. Between Monday and today we have experienced moments when quite frankly I would just like to throw in the towel and forget. It has been rough.

She is still is experiencing nausea, vomiting and now add to the mix diarrhea...yep, it's a pretty picture at our house. So we called the doctors and made the trip to clinic today to get some IV fluids and labs. At clinic Camryn was much more herself, it was almost as if the IV fluid was perking her up...she was great with Berkley and Dr.A for which I am thankful. Her labs came back great so that was reassuring and her metabolic panel was a little off. Dr.A feels that Camryn is acidic and therefore her bicarbonate is low...so the IV fluid should help. He said that right now we are fighting a downward spiral in that feels acidic makes you feel bad and therefore you do not want to eat, and yet the thing that helps is eating. Dr.A feels strongly that we are dealing with a virus, probably the same virus that put Camryn in the hospital and now it is working itself out of her system (runny nose, cough, stomach and diarrhea). So that's where we are.

Dr.A ordered a home IV pump so that we can give Camryn IV fluids at home for the next few days in order to help her feel better and then hopeful as the virus runs it's course.

We would appreciate your prayers as we navigate this road, I won't lie it is absolutely maddening and we are tired. All of us...

Please pray for Camryn...that whatever is causing this will be done and she would feel better, that her strength would return and that she would be our happy girl, feeling better soon!

Please pray for Wyatt...he is sad to watch his big sis go through this, it bothers him so when Camryn is sick and has to go to the doctor.

Please pray for Jason and me...we are tired, pushed to our limit and just battling thoughts that we would soon like to forget. It is a harsh reality living here and right now we would ask for the Lord's peace and grace for each day.

Thank you for your love, support and prayers...we are so thankful.
