Tonight I am thankful for my sweet baby boy. I am thankful he squeezed my hand when they were tormenting him by changing his dressing. I am thankful I got to see my husband and spend a few hours with him. I am thankful for my in-laws and ALL they have done for my kiddos and us. I am thankful I got to spend the weekend with my kids. We snuggled, read books, built tents, played Lego's, went swimming, rollerblading and had pizza and watched Curious George. I am thankful I got to spend some time talking with my Bishop. I am thankful for ALL of the prayers and those that fasted. I am thankful for a beautiful sunset. I am thankful my baby is alive.

Bryn Chandler Fasting and prayers for your little boy. Keep the positive view it will make all the difference. It's ok to cry too when it gets to be too much. Thinking of you.
Sara Elizabeth Owen Love you all.
Jessica Dahlquist Wow. What a precious hand squeeze!
Alex McGlamery Moffitt How's he doing?
Kristen Mullaney Deptula So happy to hear this morning they were lowering the sedation! Brains take time to heal, Molly had a concussion this spring and spent 2 weeks in her room in the dark with her eyes closed before she felt any better, and that was much less serious than what Parker has been through! Sounds like he is a real trooper!
Tiffany A. Winkel Nutter I couldn't fast for you (breastfeeding), but I definitely prayed for you. And my girls put you in all our meal prayers as well.
Jennie Bangerter Larsen Beautifully said. He was part of our fast today and is in our prayers daily. ;)

Cyndi Ross Hedden I love this quote and I don't know where it came from but here it is...Holding hands is a promise to one another that, just for a moment, the two of you don't have to face the world alone. Seems really appropriate here! So happy he squeezed back. What a wonderful moment! Love you and are praying for you all.
