I am grateful for...

...GOOD HEALTH!

I have many pictures from a fun weekend and other stuff to post, but have been a little busy focused elsewhere so far this week.

On Sunday I learned that my little nephew, Mitchell had his first helicopter ride. Unfortunately, it was to the Primary Children's hospital in Salt Lake. Mitchell had what they are now calling a prolonged "complex" febrile seizure, although the doctors really can't say why this happened or how to prevent it in the future. He is home now (yea!) and seems to be doing well, but could still use prayers on his behalf.

I spent today with my sister-in-law, Mikelle, who has somehow managed to fracture a couple of her vertabrae. She has been dealing with back pain for a while, but just now learned what was causing it. She is now in so much pain that it is difficult to move or even cough, but still has to care for her newborn son (6 wks. old). So Tessa and I went over to help, today. Feeding two babies at the same time, gave me greater appreciation for those who have twins, and my friend Amberly's situation.

So today I am especially grateful that my family and I are currently in good health and recognize what a blessing good health is. Please say an extra prayer for Mitchell and Mikelle!

I am so sorry to hear that. Things like that are never fun to go through. I will keep them both in my prayers and thoughts.

Josh had a febrile seizure but thankfully his did not last long and he was OK. I'll definitely send prayers your family's way!

Thanks, Hope!

I remember, Becky! It is the only time I have seen Bishop leave sacrament meeting! It seems like they are more common than I thought, but sooo scary! Josh and Mitchell are both very blessed!
