Virginia Sempervirens: Things to be Grateful For

Before I forget, I want to make a list of some of the blessings or things we were grateful for during the last six months. I'm sure we will forget some things, but I want to remember all that I can. (In no order of significance.)

1. No mouth sores!
2. A baby that slept from 6 pm to 8 am. That's fourteen hours folks with one feeding at 4 am. Countless blessings there! I
t didn't happen until after the first cycle, and after specific prayers from people that knew me.
3. Specific prayers of faith. I gained a whole new testimony of how specific our prayers can be, and can be answered. (See #2)
4. People that noticed things, and then dropped things off that we needed. Like a gallon of chocolate milk because that's what M could drink, or something to listen to and make us laugh.
5. Neighbors that mowed our lawn many times.
6. Friends that drove M everywhere, and sometimes sat and chatted with him.
7. The dinners. Too many to count, it was awesome, and so helpful.
8. All the people that watched my littles. I was so grateful to be at treatments.
9. Our most healthy winter ever. Seriously. Except for the awful stomach bug, no one had colds or strep, or sinus infections. That is NOT the norm at our house.
10. A visiting teacher that cleaned my house. Embarrassing, yes, but also so awesome.
11. Prayers of faith.
12. Kind coworkers that looked after M and checked in on him.
13. Medical leave bank. (and not having to work through treatments)
14. People who treated us normally.
15. A great dream.
16. Lots of time with M at home. Not how we wanted to spend it... but it was still nice in some ways.
17. Good books.
18. No vomiting.
19. Family members that came and helped.
20. Understanding bosses
21. An amazingly easy church load for those three months. (That's changed... haha)
22. Patient nurses and an understanding doctor.
23. Hagen Daaz
24. People shoveling our driveway... it was a very snowy winter.
25. Understanding teacher for B-man.
26. Going to the temple.
27. People fasting for us.
28. Family and friends who are doctors and helped us navigate and understand things. HUGE one.
29. Humor
30. Not having to delay any treatment cycles
