Today we went to Kaiser to deliver the gifts from the "toy drive" at Hannah's party on Saturday. What could give us more joy than to bring gifts to the kids that are staying on "Hannah's unit" at Kaiser Fontana?!? Hannah had so much fun walking down the hall with the wagon figuring out which gift to give to each child. A teenager was very happy to receive a keyboard, a little boy was very happy to get light brite, magnetic puzzles were a big hit & a baby doll is going to a little 2 year old girl in the ICU ... and that is just to name a few of the gifts we were able to give away. Truly, thank you to everyone at the party on Saturday that brought a gift or toy. We still have more to give away so thank you to everyone for helping us share love & kindness with others :-)!! Hannah is super excited to give out more gifts once we get to her hospital in Seattle.
After Kaiser, we had a nice afternoon visiting the pumpkin patch in Oak Glen. The girls had a great time seeing animals (sheep, horses, peacocks, ostriches & goats), searching for the best pumpkin (well, Hannah & Grandma did that!) & eating yummy treats at the bakery. A nice time just enjoying a Fall activity we do almost every year!
Tomorrow we go for Hannah to have a breathing treatment (standard procedure) & then we see her doctor in the afternoon & get her numbers checked. Hannah has been coughing this afternoon & more this evening. Tonight she was saying she wasn't feeling great so we will see what is going on.
We go from normal to who knows what?!?!
All God's best from our HOME ...
I think you are making new definitions for what is "normal." Just when you think you've got it down - bam! - something upsets the pumpkin cart, or patch, or whatever it's called. You will write a book or something about this one day, but in the meantime you are speaking LOUDLY about how to hold on to Jesus when you think you can't anymore. Thank you for teaching me that.
