I've said many times that this blog is about Lucy...to keep our family and close friends updated on her progress because we know you all care for her and love her and pray for her...and we appreciate that SO, SO much! But today I want to share with you a link to a wonderful blog post (found at KevinMD.com) that captures so many of my thoughts and fears and feelings over the past 3+ years: Remember mothers of sick children. I was talking to my mom just this week about how having Lucy changed me in a way that I could never have imagined. The blog writer, Courtney Schmidt, writes this about the mothers of sick children:
"They are faced with the harsh, unfair realities so they’ve been forced to clarify what is truly important to them. They know that the most precious parts of their lives may not be around forever, so they’ll appreciate every moment. Their child’s illness has given them a higher calling, a purpose in life that is beyond any desire they’ve ever had. They know exactly what they’re fighting for."
On a separate note, we've been enjoying springtime in Minnesota and Lucy is VERY excited to play with the neighborhood kids this year!
