Many Thanks for Thanksgiving

We've so much to be thankful for this thanksgiving. At the top of our list, Noah's lack of seizures is a miracle. Noah's last grand-mal seizure was last march and his absence seizures subsided in July. Throughout this crazy past year, there have been so many people that have been a huge help for us. Here's a short "thank you" list for many of those people who have made where we are at now possible.

I am so thankful for Candice and am amazed by all of the work that she has put in. (Since I, Jon, am writing this, I get to thank Candice first:-)) Thanks for pushing through each long day and late night of making food, many times of utter frustration and a never ending stream of dishes and spatulas.
Thanks to Bud and Cassie for all of the support you have given us, in so many ways. Thanks for watching Zaiah and Caleb for the nights we were in the hospital. Thanks for selflessly giving your time, energy and resources to help us through the past year.
Thanks to Mom and Dad (Papa and Grandma) for praying for us and for keeping the K Falls community in prayer. Thanks mom for coming up and helping us, a couple of times.
Thanks to our friends at Seaside Church and community group. Thanks for many prayers, meals, hospital visits and even anonymous financial help. Bethany, thanks for coming over and helping with the late night diet cooking parties.
Thanks to Noah's doctor's and dietitians at Mary Bridge and Swedish hospital. Thanks for the way you care for kids with epilepsy. Thanks to Noah's dietitians for moving us up in the schedule to start the diet, for spending many hours getting Noah's diet going and for answering many emails with questions.
Thanks to my boss and coworkers here at camps. Thanks for your prayers and support. Doug, Erik and Shane, thanks for listening and caring as we have wrestled through this time. Thanks for time off and for covering for me, while I was off.
Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us and supported us in many different ways. We are richly blessed with so many people who love and care for us.
Finally, thanks be to God, who has richly blessed us with all of the above.
