To begin we are grateful someone called 911 at the time they did. An extra 5 min can go a long way. Where Dad works in cotton wood heights, he was close to the hospitals, a couple hospitals actually. We are grateful that dad was not in the car driving and his coworkers were looking out for him. The one thing we have been extremely grateful for, we found out yesterday that the heart machine he has is a rare thing. It is a new piece of equipment, only been out about 2 years. There are only 2 of these machines in the state. One here at IMC and one at primaries. The paramedics were debating between bringing him here or St. Marks. Obviously he was meant to be here, we wouldn't have him here without that machine. This all makes us be so much more thankful for modern technology.
As some of you know Mom and Dad were just starting to work on building a new house.
Thankful to great family members, their building permit has been rushed through and someone has volunteered to dig the hole in the next couple days. Many others want to help, we couldn't be more blessed. Dad has always been such a fix it man, always willing to help absolutely anyone. I guess this is where carma comes in. We want to thank you all for that.
One more thing quick... as some of you know Jeff, my brother from Haiti, was diagnosed with RAD about two years ago. He has gone through all kinds of therapy and help. Jeff is doing so much better now. The thing we are grateful for now is timing, we are glad this has happened now versus happening before when he was first diagnosed.
This is only a few of our miracles and the ones that stand out the most to us, I'm sure there are more to come.
Dad sure is fighting for us, keep praying that it continues...
