So much to be Thankful for!

Well Caleb made another great turn. He seems to have finally kicked this "bug" that he has had for about 6 weeks. Shane and I are so thankful. Shane and I had several conversations with each other about Caleb's health these past few weeks. We knew that if he had to hospitalized it was undoubtedly going to be very challenging in so many areas of our family's life. It's challenging to watch Caleb be poked over and over and over again. It's challenging to keep him "quarantined" to his hospital room, it's challenging mentally for ourselves, it's challenging financially, it's challenging on having another little person (Haley) being passed around from family member to family member because Mommy is at the hospital with Caleb and Daddy still has to work. Although we are so thankful for our family members who stepped up to the plate and offered to give up vacation time and time with their jobs and responsibilities to help ease the challenges that we would be facing. Again, so much to be thankful for. God has given us so many reasons to be thankful. In an economy where people have been struggling to keep their jobs, Shane has maintained a work week of 52-56 hours per week. The bank I work for has reported earnings are up by 41%. And our children are most amazing miracles that have ever touched our lives. We are very thankful.
