THANKFUL!!!!

I am so thankful a dr. walked into the room last night and interrupted my post. I was going to tell how we were at the hospital again and blah blah blah, but thank you Jesus, you have given me a new perspective this morning! I am so thankful that Reagan is getting the best care possible at the hospital! I am so thankful that we have insurance to pay for the hospital. I am so thankful that Allen has a job that provides great insurance. Thank you God! There are so many things to be thankful for that I cannot possibly list them all. I love my kids and feel very blessed to have them. I am glad that God sees things that we do not see and knows what is best for us even when we do not think so. He always works things out! It is not always easy and sometimes hard to swallow, but in the end, we are so blessed!

I have to admit, when Dr. Hoover told us Wednesday that we needed to be admitted to the hospital on Thursday or Friday, my human sinful flesh thought "you gotta be kidding me, another birthday and mother's day in the hospital!!". But I am thankful that I am Reagan and Brennen's mommy and that I still get to take care of them because that could have been so different a year ago April 26! God spared her life and we are so thankful for that!!! I get to do what Mommy's do best and take care of my beautiful daughter on Mother's day! She tells me all the time "your the best mommy", what more could I want! I am still working on Brennen!

I am so thankful for wonderful family and friends that has volunteered to take care of Brennen while I am gone and Allen is trying to work some and be at the hospital too! Thank you God for such a wonderful husband, father, and provider. He never complains!

So, we are at the hospital, our old room in fact, and Reagan is doing fine! Loving all of the attention that she gets from everyone that sees her! Everyone was so excited to see her and she has actually been talking a little more that usual! Dr. Hoover wanted to admit her and "fatten her up" before surgery on Thursday. He didn't feel like she would do well with recovery if she didn't have a few tests and things done before hand. At first, I couldn't believe it, but, he is the Dr. and has been seeing her for almost a year now and knows what she needs. She is having g-tube surgery and having a lot of dental work done at the same time to prevent having to put her to sleep again so close together. We are thankful that God is working that out because both are so important and really need to be done so quickly!

Reagan is telling me " Hey mommy, the room is all blue! That reminds me, blue is your favorite color!!! How precious is that.? I will update later. She is up and ready to do something! Blessings, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever ! (not sure what verse that is)

Mommy and Reagan!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this post! I am right there with you. It is sad that sometimes things have to get bad before we realize that things are ok. I still can't figure it out! I have to remind myself often that things could be so much worse. If I have my family, things are ok! Thanks for being such a great example to me! I can only think about your awesome supermom t-shirt! You are amazing and Brennen and Reagan don't know how blessed they are to have you. Thanks for being such a great friend to me. I don't know what I would do without you! I LOVE YOU, JER!!! Give Reagan a big hug and lots of kisses from me! I told the kids about pinkalicious milkshakes and they can't wait to come to Alabama to have one!!! I am dying to talk to you. If you get a minute give me a call! I love you and we will continue to pray for you guys. BIG LOVES and SMOOCHES from PROVO!
