24 Hours Ago

Wow! The past 24 hours have been just crazy and sitting here now they seem surreal, almost like they didn't happen. But I wasn't dreaming and I'm still trying to process it all. Less than 24 hours ago, we were sitting in the parking garage at Vanderbilt, waiting for Tobey and Miranda to arrive on an airplane ambulance.

The doctors and nurses quickly assessed Tobey when she arrived and initiated a plan of care that led to an excellent outcome. Although she is on a ventilator and sedated, she is resting and breathing so much easier now, allowing her little body time to recover. Hats off to the staff for their expertise and quickness. I will never forget the image of them rolling off with her to surgery. Although I had complete faith in God, I admit I was afraid.

Miranda and Corey were strong and I admire their calmness and poise under such demanding circumstances. They are wonderful parents and those three little girls are blessed to have such a faithful mommy and daddy. I love them all very much and wish I had a million ways to show them.

Tracy is so good to me. Even though he was sick and did not feel well, he would not dream of letting me make that drive alone. I won't dredge up the past but it has taken some getting used to for me because I have been the "Lone Ranger" for so long. I am overwhelmed by his love and so thankful to be his wife.

God is so good and I am so grateful for His grace and mercy. I know He loves each of us and we are uniquely created to worship Him in a way no one else can. To love Him with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength is the first and great commandment. May each of us do so to His glory forever and ever.
