O' Happy Day...

Okay, I believe each day we have air in our lungs and ground to walk on is a gift - but some days are just greater than others. Today was one of those days for me and our family! I spent a WONDERFUL morning in Sisters with a friend that I have not seen in a long time. No kids, no crowds, just 2 friends enjoying hot chocolate, endless chatting, and shopping! It was a wonderful and much needed break for me!!
I have had lots of updates on my Mom's surgery and all is good! Her surgery was about 5 1/2 hours long - as expected. It went well and her spirits are good. She and my Dad have also made the decision that she will go to a rehabilitation facility before going home. I believe this will be such a good stepping stone in her recovery!
As some of you may know, we applied to the Sparrow Club in Bend in hopes of getting some financial assistance with Kelsey's Hippo and Water therapy bills. I had called many time in the last 6 weeks and never heard back, so at the beginning of this week, I truly had given up on the idea and just figured that God had another plan in mind. Not so fast...This afternoon the phone rang, and it was the new applicant coordinator for the Sparrow Club. YES! We have a meeting at our home tomorrow morning, and it sounds like Kelsey will most likely be "adopted" by the club as a project. We are so thankful for this early Christmas Gift!
Thanks for your continued thought and prayers for my Mom. She has a long road ahead!
