Family Prayer of THANKSGIVING for William!

So when we were 1st on our family vacation and William got sick we decided to get together up in Yosemite in the campground for a FAMILY PRAYER for William to get better. Ironically almost all of Sarah & Danny's family were up there for camping that week (my family, or Danny's) AND (Sarah's family, brothers from up north and her parents). So we felt very blessed to at least be together to offer a prayer for William, and to get the daily updates from the hospital all together (usually from the Grandma's: Grandma Sue & Nana Todd).

So through it all, Danny & Sarah have felt SO much support, love, and thousands of PRAYERS offered on William's behalf throughout this journey.  So they felt it only appropriate that we "end" this journey with a family prayer with all of us together again to say THANK YOU to our Heavenly Father for blessing us with Will in our lives and for his health. So they had a FAMILY get together Sunday night to express their gratitude and offer a prayer of THANKS.

The best part of it all was William running around us in circles the entire time we talked and prayed. He had his little vacuum and vacuumed under all of our feet and throughout the room and periodically would run and jump into someones arms for a "short" William style cuddle (usually one of the males: Grandpas or Uncles) and usually only about 30 seconds before he got restless again.  I loved seeing him full of energy and happy. He ran over to "my" Ella and bonked her on the head and pulled her hair a few times, and I have NEVER seen her laugh and smile to have her hair pulled. :)  I think we are ALL just so happy (children included) that our little Will is home and on the mend.

We also have NOT forgotten the PEE PARTY which will soon follow. They just felt that we should get him in a little established routine first and make sure he is back and healthy (no more ER visits) before we start ALL the partying. SO TBA.

So PLEASE now in your homes, for us, offer a prayer of GRATITUDE on William's behalf, and KNOW we are SO grateful  to ALL of you who have been (& continue to be) such a HUGE support through the trial.  We have felt the Lord's hand in our lives and thank you for your PRAYERS!
