Have you ever noticed that on some of the more difficult days, you are surrounded by angels to buoy you up? Today was that kind of a day. The news came at six am that the blood cultures taken 24 hours earlier were positive for an infection. Davis is also experiencing some sort of rash that has the team in discussion as to the source.
Jeff and I traded places early afternoon and I went home to a group of absolute angels helping me clean my house. Not just any clean but these Merry Maidens dusted every item and disinfected every surface for Davis to come home to a germ safe environment. My heart was overwhelmed as we cleaned, chatted and laughed. After I got over my initial fear of so much service, and they all signed an agreement to NOT disclose anything about the state of things upon their arrival, the tears of gratitude began to flow. Good neighbors from the past showed up at the door step with generous gifts of friendship and happiness. Other angels showed up outside for yard work, dropped off kids and stopped in the middle of the road to hand off fresh baked bread.
I truly felt the power of hope and love.
We hope you know the tremendous love that we continue to feel is a great source of peace for our family. The ability of a community to provide such self-less service is truly a testament to the good that can be felt in the world. We pray that all our angels will know of our indebted gratitude and love for each and every one of you.
