Saved

After five days of complete isolation, Jace received some outdoor visitors. If you were worrying about the sirens and flashing red lights at our house last night, rest assured. Jace just had company: Rexburg-Madison County Emergency Services again—and Santa.
They showed up in glory with their big yellow fire truck and ambulance…and several geared fire fighters. Santa actually rode the ladder as they extended it to the house, and the boys were awestruck. In addition to an amazing showing, they also arrived bringing gifts. Jace is now the proud owner of an authentic firefighter's helmet, and Hayden received a firefighter's Monopoly game. The smile this brought both boys was priceless. Matt and I again felt unworthy of such attention and grateful for a group of good people taking care of our sons. After a week of looking at the same three faces, Jace was saved from the monotony of being sick. For a few minutes Jace was on top of the world, enjoying the show. Thanks again Rexburg-Madison County Emergency Services.








In addition to our company last night, we also received a magnificent package tonight. The cutest group of teenagers and their parents brought our boys gifts to remember including personal letters and gift cards; movies and books.  Really--we have no idea how we will ever repay all of you who are supporting our family. Please accept our heartfelt thank you, and please know you are making a difference. No matter what you are doing...anonymous letters...pizza on the front step...dinner...ice cream...etc...With your love, we continue to feel "saved" over and over again.
