Angels Around Us

Through all of this we certainly have been surounded by angels - mostly in the form of family and friends.

As we headed to the hospital Dad's parent's offered to meet us to pick up the other kids. They took the kids out to dinner and then over to Dad's Sister's house to stay the night. The next morning another sister picked up the kids to play with more cousins. The entire time we were in the hospital, focused on Ada, we did not have to worry for a minute about the other kids. That was such a relief.

As we headed home one of Dad's step-sisters asked us to meet her at a pulloff on the interstate so she could send dinner home with us. Not only did she give us dinner, but also enough groceries to last us a week. That was so thoughtful of her. So much that she picked up were things that Ada can eat without having to worry about the sodium.

When we got home a neighbor across the street offered to order in pizza for the family. Another neighbor called the next day to say they were bringing in a meal for the family; and that day another friend called to say she and a friend were bringing dinner in on Saturday. That was such a blessing because we had such a busy schedule already for Friday and Saturday of things the older kids were suppose to be doing. It was just nice to not have to worry about that thing.

Many friends and family have expressed concern and included us in their prayers. I know Ada is doing so well because of all the prayers in her behalf. In the midst of affliction the windows of heaven truely open and the blessings are poured out upon us so that there isn't even room enough to receive it all.
