Thank You's, Diane

I will randomly be adding to the blog. At this point I have an extreme amount of "stuff" in my head that I want to share & will probably forget most of it. So don't be surprised at the randomness of what I post. And even more so that I probably will forget many, many, many thank yous that I owe. (the following is in no order, I hope everyone knows that I)

My beautiful Mother-in-law! Thank you for being me the kids! I never wanted grandma to have to be me but I am so grateful you can keep their life as normal & be grandma while having through the weeks that are ahead for all of us. I you probably know but I will make sure to tell you, Scott is going to be so grateful that you were able to keep his kids happy, healthy & everything else you will be doing while he & I can not. He & I would have it no other way!!!! I want anyone following this to know that I will never be able to express the many wonderful emotions this has & will brings for us.

Wenatchee Trip: The most Argh 30 hours of my life! Anyone who saw me knows I only made it through that short period of time by thinking/doing one task at a time & by Caroline (my sister) helping me stay on task on step at a time...Thank you for flying so quickly to see us & for knowing you needed to stay longer for me & so much more! Thank you Betsy & Suz (Scott's sister & mine) for being Tara and me when we could not! We both want to stay close by Scott's side...Dang it I want to be in a chair next to him the whole time saying you can do it Honey! I want to cheer him on like I do in my classes but my voice changed from calming him down to making him want to get up a few days ago so I just stand moving his fingers & toes for him cheering in my mind. (ops random) Thank you to Jodi for being me for my house, car & classes and So Much More! Thank You to Everyone who has helped us there in Wenatchee. Everyone who I randomly got to see, talk to on the phone or whatever else. I could not have made it through leaving Scott's side any other way! Thank You mommy for getting me to Wenatchee. I know the Lord blessed the situation to have everything work out perfectly for each family member. Finally to Hillary for the amazing care package! I needed a way to keep my body healthy while here & she provided with yummy healthy snacks, drinks and of course weights/resistant tubing so I can get a little strength training in even at the hospital. I must say carrying the 30 lb basket up to my room and having a snack after was an experience after so many days of no exercise :) Oh yes & Aaron thank you for contributing to the basket, I know one thing that came form you super tasty toffee covered peanuts, right? Did I check those jars out for you back in the day when I worked the peanut window (sorry YMCA/work joke if you don't know. Days of working seem so long ago & yet it feel like this happened to Scott maybe 3 day ago)

I must thank Besty for this blog. WOW what a huge relief to know that anyone who wants to know how Scott is doing can find out when it works for them...and I don't have to try to get back to a missed call. What an extreme relief. When I find out how may people are following this I realize the extent of what she has done for me...it is over whelming to say the least!!!
I just read all the happenings here I was behind on. I love to read the comments after the posts. wow it's going to take Scott forever to read all the posts & comments when he's ready...yeah for that :) I'm blown away by the love & support we have received by so many people. I was telling Hillary yesterday that the "you find out who your friends are" phrase from some country song keeps going through my head. Yes to all those who have attended one of my cycling class, I listen to country music too. Shocking right? (see random) We have always known we have a close group of friends, but the support I have received and the willingness to serve from SO MANY helps me to realized that yes we have a close group but it is much larger than we ever knew! I'm not sure if any of you know how much this will mean to Scott when he wakes to find what I'm am learning each day here. I can't put it into words, but I know he will be.....Ah I can't explain it... AMAZED, UPLIFTED, STRENGTHENED BEYOND MEASURE!!!!
Please if you read and have a thought keep them coming, through posts or even the texts. I get them all even if I don't reply, they stregthen me beyond measure.
That's all for now. darn I don't have anyone to proof this hopefully it all makes sense. Diane:)
