God is so good!

It has been far too long since we've posted anything new, but the last couple of weeks have been a real adventure for our family. Just when it seemed that we had adjusted to life with Hannah, and she was getting used to life with us, Brian gave us a big scare when he discovered he'd had an early morning heart attack on January 9th. At first we both shrugged it off, chalking it up to stress and little sleep, but a trip to the doctor and later the ER on the 10th confirmed that it had been a heart attack. Brian spent Thursday night, Friday, and most of Saturday in the hospital for tests and monitoring. When the doctors could find no explanation or reason for what had happened, they sent him home on Saturday afternoon. The cardiologist said that it may have been stress related, so we are trying to "take it easy", a phrase Brian has come to loathe. He is taking a couple of medications to help his heart recover, but the doctors think that will be a short term thing. He went back to work on Wednesday, and says he feels as good as ever.

In the midst of all this, we have been so blessed and humbled by the amazing care that our family, friends, and church have provided to us. We haven't gone a single day in the last six weeks without receiving a card or gift in the mail, a hot meal delivered to our house, a call from a friend checking in....it has just been amazing. Way beyond what we could ever deserve. From the bottom of our heart, we thank you. We praise God for the immeasurable ways in which He continues to bless our family, and pray that we could somehow have opportunities to share the amazing grace that has been given to us.
