Perspective ...

Sometimes you observe those around you and it puts some things into perspective. You quickly realize how "lucky" you really are and understand how things "could be worse".

Try taking a walk through the lobby and through some of the halls at Nemour's (our local Children's Hospital) ... I can't begin to describe how your heart just breaks for each one of those kids. I think that's what makes it even harder -- they're just kids ... so young, so innocent.

I just look at Sydney and realize how BLESSED we are. I don't want to downplay what Sydney is going through, because if this isn't treated, she can have some serious health problems. We are soooooo blessed because we know that God will take care of Sydney and continue to heal her. We are blessed with an AMAZING doctor with some amazing technology. We are blessed with great friends & family.

Hugs,

Jeff and Karen -
Please know that we have been thinking about and praying for your family so much lately. Sydney is such a precious little girl and we are so impressed by her strength and positive attitude! Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you tomorrow and as she recovers. This will all be behind you soon!
With love,
Gavin, Lori, Griffin, and Emily
