Happy Thanksgiving..pretty smooth...

Though long, a good schedule smooth day at the hospital. Becky had her regular Physician consultation, then had the 4 hour IV...But all went nice and smooth. We were just so thankful she was in the car with Abbey and I as we drove away from the hospital. Honestly, we thought the virus and/or the GVH may cause some Physician consternation and though it was a huge outside chance, we thought he may want an overnight observation. BUT not happenin! The virus seems to be just that, a virus, and it is running it course. So, there we were driving away on Thanksgiving Eve, so thankful, so thankful to be together and able to celebrate at home. I looked at that hospital from the freeway as we drove away and remembered last year when Abbey and I were there on Thanksgiving having a meal provided by the hospital. We drove away last year waving to Mom from that freeway, but this year Mom was with us. AS we drove away seeing that hospital from a distance and seeing the beautiful golden sunset and it's majestical rays, I think we all absorbed a few seconds of pure stillness..giving a silent 'thank you' for where we were. And even though the journey has been and still is quite laborious and sometimes very painful and very dark, there is a large crevice where thank you's can and will emerge. Thank you God..To HIM we give thanks with a grateful heart. We enter His courts with praise..
May your Thanksgiving be filled with the blessings of family, friends, good food, some fun and maybe some after dinner dancing..versus the football throwing I previously mentioned.

Much Love,

Bill, Becky and Abbey
