One Tough Week

This week has been a difficult one. Not because of anything that has happened to us, but rather things that have happened to people we know and love. On Wednesday, my dear friend Michelle's daughter collapsed in PE. She was unconscious for 7 minutes. She was revived by her coach and taken to the hospital. The results were that she had congenital heart failure...she basically had a heart attack...and she is only 12! She was taken by life flight to Primary Children's and is now waiting for a heart.

Sweet Abby... we will pray for you everyday that you will get a new heart soon, very soon.

Friday night Rob got a call from his boss telling him that Joseph's (the assistant city attorney) 6 year old son had drowned. They were able to revive him and he was fine in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, but once they got there he passed away. They tried for 45 minutes to bring him back, but could not. It is so.sad. Rob and I were thinking on Saturday that it just doesn't seem right to go on doing normal things. They lost their son, their baby boy. I can't even imagine.

All I can say right now is that I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER and boy, am I praying like crazy for these two families that we've come to know and love. I am so grateful for the peace and comfort that the gospel provides in times of trials, heartbreak and sorrow.
