02/20/08

We enjoyed a great long weekend at the Wisconsin Dells. This was our 5th Annual trip to the Dells with my parents and brothers family. This is a trip that we did not think we would be taking this year. It was almost surreal to be playing in the water for three days as if nothing was wrong. What a difference a day makes or in our case 9 months. On February 22, it will be 9 months since Caitlyn's diagnosis. Nine months since we were told she would not be here in 9 months.

She has proven to be a miracle, to be one of the lucky ones. We don't take it for granted and we know that things could change at any time. This is a change we don't want to think about or face. So for now we are rejoicing in the fact that we get to plan a 6th birthday party for her. We are so thankful, that we can spend another day in good health with her; and that we can hug and kiss her without sadness.

Please say prayer for Caitlyn this weekend as she will be going in for her MRI on Monday.

Thank you,
Kara, Jason, Patrick, Jackson, and Caitlyn
