Charmed Life

My mom made a comment the other week that I live a charmed life.  A couple days ago, in light of the recent events, she said that she feels bad for making that remark.  Life doesn't seem so charmed right now.  But despite the challenges we are facing, I can't help but feel incredibly blessed, and that yes, I have a very charmed and beautiful life.  The out-pouring of love, support, kind words and compassion from so many of our friends, family and neighbors has been more uplifting and helpful than I can begin to convey.   I love you and want you to all know we feel the prayers and thoughts that you are all sending our way.  We are extremely optimistic and hopeful about the outcome of this trial.  We meet with specialists from the Barrows Institute and Mayo Clinic this Thursday and Friday and expect to have many answers soon. I have a great deal of faith and hope that Travis will be blessed with his health.  Thank you for your unconditional friendship.  It is truly amazing to me.

Hey guys-Mike and I just talked to Becki today and she told us the news about Travis. I don't have the words to even explain the range of emotions that went through me as she was explaining the situation to us. It is simply shocking. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we would love to help in any way we can!
