Angels In Disguise

I am amazed at the generosity of the people around us right now -- friends, family, and even people I just chat with every now and again on facebook.  Everyone has been so incredibly supportive of everything that's been going on with John and the journey we've taken thus far with him. The road has been stressful and frustrating and overall extremely difficult, but I am blessed to say we have not traveled it alone!

I wanted to put a special thank you out to everyone who has helped us. We appreciate each and every one of the angels that have entered into our lives -- from family who watched Jacob while we were down at Riley's, to those who have helped us financially in any way, to my co-workers for pulling together and covering my shifts so I could be with John, to those who have prayed for us, and even to those who have just been there to listen to our thoughts, concerns, and worries.

I cannot express enough how much all of you mean to us and how thankful we are to have you in our lives. We are still waiting on the genetic blood testing to come back -- it will take another 8wks approximately.  Once we have that, we will have a more firm diagnosis and hopefully be able to set a more solid treatment plan.  I have come to accept that this is not something that will go away for him, and it is not something that will get better for him. That is not an easy realization to come to, but knowing we have the support we do reassures me we can make it through whatever lies ahead of us on this bumpy road!

So ... thank you once again for everything.  You are all angels in disguise!
