In the blink of an eye, a new life is brought into this world. In the blink of an eye, a life enters into eternal rest. In the blink of an eye, a life changes.
There is much that leads up to this life altering event. There is much that follows in its wake. But, what is constant is that lives are forever changed.
One day after my last post, my son fell and broke his femur. He had surgery to repair the break, and during the long surgery, complications arose with his good leg. After a total of six surgeries, and three and a half weeks in the hospital, he came home to begin his slow and painful recovery in early October.
He has progressed from being wheelchair-bound to adding a walker and crutches to his arsenal of transportation methods. Just last week he was able to begin putting limited weight on his broken leg. After months of needing a wheelchair to attend church, today he entered church using a walker for the first time since he fell.
Praise and glory to God for His mighty power, mercy, and love!

Bravo, Brendan! We are praying for you all.
Thank you, Kim! It has been the prayers of dear friends which have kept us hopeful and sane through all of this!
We will be praying for ya'll. May the Lord comfort, heal and protect your son.
Scott,
We truly do appreciate your prayers. Now if only we could get some of your good milk out here to Colorado to help Brendan's bone grow back together fully! (Actually, we get milk delivered in GLASS bottles--yum!!--from a nearby dairy owned by Christians.)
Our best to you and your family for 2007.
