Thankfulness in small things

Being in California you take for granted the things that you have convenience in. Such as family being close to see and to know where they are supporting you all the way. Not saying they are not but the closeness is great. You also know that there are others that have the same beliefs you do. So therefore to give priesthood blessings and church especially seeing General Conference. We are so grateful that Jonah is here and has made it through everything he has. Having a pace maker is not the end of the world but it would be much better to not have one at all. We gave him a blessing last night and it was good. We hope and pray all will work as needs to for him. Getting a pace maker will just delay his recovery and we will be here a little longer for that reason. He doesn't have anymore chest tubes YEH!

You also realize that when you are in the hospital you are grateful for the trial you have and not others. Also for the beliefs that you have and the love and support you have from others. There are people here from all over the world and are here alone. Thank goodness for family and loved ones.

I do really miss my little girl. I know she is being well taken care of but it just isn't the same having her so far away.

Thank goodness for our life's and for the faith we have in our gospel and Heavenly Father. I hope non of you take that for granted.

Mandi, you are such a trooper and so is your little guy. I am sure that being in California away from family is not easy, but I am so glad to hear that the surgery went well and that little Jonah seems to be doing well considering the obstacles that he has had to go through. We are keeping you in our prayers and wish you the best. Please let us know if we can do anything to help.
