2 weeks ago today we pushed STOP.
Jacks fall stopped life as we knew it. Tomorrow we will attempt to push PLAY again. But it won't be starting back up in the same place.
Obviously Jacks fall was by far the scarriest thing we have ever been through..... however, in spite of that I feel like the past 2 weeks have brought a lot of blessings.
First and formost God is letting us keep Jack. We don't take this lightly. In fact it has reminded us that all our kids are on loan. It has reminded us how precious all of our children are. Here we are on a walk. Oscar & Calvin got scooters for being so brave and helpfull during our family emergency.
We've watched our community come out of the woodwork to support us in prayer - which was amazing. We've grown even closer to our local family (and we were pretty close to start). I watched my mom & dad and Darrens mom drop everything to be there for us. My brother and his family showed up when we couldn't get things together. They all stepped in when we needed them most. And they suffered with us & were terrified with us. And we are closer because of it. And as for the 5 of us we've been refocused on each other. We've been able to spend the time since the fall doing just that.
Quality boy lego time.....
We also visited the firemen who responded to the 911 call. That was super fun for the boys.
Jack is healing physically way faster than anyone thought. Emotionally we are still dealing w/ sleeplessness, nightmares, fears, etc. Here he is doing some medical "play" to help him work through what happened to him.
Isn't he cute? He gets a little better every day. We all do. Thanks for checking in w/ us. We've been amazed by the outreach and concern from all of you for Jack. Thank you so much!
