Things that we are grateful for...

We decided to count our blessings and make a list of things that we are grateful for. We'll probably add to the list as we go along.

In no particular order (except for the first one)...

• God's Grace, which is sufficient
• A family that has dropped everything in our time of need and ministered to us spiritually, physically and financially
• Friends who express their love and concern in many different ways every day
• A church who supports us with prayer, meals, visits, money, time, laughter , tears and anything else that is necessary
• My employer who bends over backwards to accommodate hospital visits, etc. that cause me to miss work
• My co-workers who take up my slack when I'm gone
• Our daughter and other son who have put their lives on hold while we pour all of our resources into helping Matt
• Dr. Brandi Jones who has been a strong advocate for Matt through this whole ordeal
• All of the Nurses at Ochsner, especially the Melissas

I have to stop now but I'm sure I'll think of more later.
