It Takes a Village

I keep saying this medical procedure is very similar to having a newborn. (Luckily you aren't physically recovering from anything yourself.)

People are very generous with their time, assistance, and talents and it is important to accept. It makes them feel good and honestly YOU NEED IT!

We have had:

• A friend switch cars with us,
• A friend made ramps for our sidewalk for a wheelchair,
• A friend's mom who is a nurse came by and did a "house call" to check on Mary's pin sites, and answer all of our random medical questions,
• A classmate's Dad who is an Occupational Therapist came by and gave us tips on how to help move Mary while taking care of our bodies too,
• Many friends have brought or are scheduled to bring us dinner,
• Many friends have helped pick up Mary's Little Sister from school,
• Many friends are coming by for short 30 minute play dates, or taken her Little Sister for play dates,
• Friends have brought us groceries,
• A friend has offered to take our puppy for play dates at their house,
• A friend ordered a couple weeks of produce to be delivered to our house,
• Friends have helped with Girl Scout duties,
• The school (especially her teacher) has been supportive and has worked with us,
• Friends and family have accepted our request for help at the last minute,
• Many people have kept us in their thoughts and prayers!!!
• etc., etc., etc.

We truly appreciate it ALL and all of the help has made this challenging time so much easier. It helps so much knowing we have a strong support network that will help us get through this. THANK YOU!!!
