Hi everyone. I am at Hoag and just getting ready to go up and bring Gary has apple fritter. I wanted to give you a quick update.
Gary had the filter put in yesterday. Piece of cake for Gary! He came out and up to his room and consumed a Famous Star, onion rings and a root beer! He was awake for the procedure and watched as they put the filter in place and opened it up! He said it was pretty cool.
The doctors are trying to get his clotting levels acceptable so that they can release Gary. If all goes as planned then he will come home tomorrow early afternoon. Sigh of relief......
I was able to get out and go to Taco Tuesday last night. I find myself having trouble having normal conversations with people. My whole life it seems revolves around cancer and treatment and hospital stays and medication. To actually be with people and talk about random things was so foreign. I don't know what I am trying to say but maybe it is that I am socially challenged. I will try harder to be normal everyone. I promise!
The boys are doing so well and Nate's story was picked to be a part of the Imagination Machine! Only a handful of stories out of 100's are chosen and the actors will be performing Nate's story on April 1st! We are so proud of him and really excited! Zach had a glowing report from his teacher and we are so proud of him as well. We have not met with Lori to discuss Jax but I know how awesome he is too. It is such a blessing to know that as of now our kids seem to be adjusted and weathering the storm. God has protected our kids hearts and minds and for that I am so very grateful.
Gotta go.
Have the best day of your life! God wants you to do that!
Love, L
Love Conquers All

A Look inside our family......
If any of you have not had the chance to walk the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach you are really missing something amazing!!!
I am at the Montage with Zach and my Dad and I am standing on the beautiful rock that jets out from the middle of the cove and it is the most amazing morning! The air is so warm and the breeze is gently blowing.
I look down to see the reef and the beautiful colors of the seaweed garden that sway with the tide. In such a small place there are so many amazing things about creation that just make me stop to remember to thank God for all he has entrusted to us!
This very moment makes me feel so blessed to have so many blessings! So many family members and friends who surround us and love us and are ready to go on this new journey with us.
As I am thinking my pride gets a hold of me for a moment and I tell myself that I can do this on my own. My thought is that I don't want to have to have help and put people in this position!
Then, as quickly as that thought fills my pride-filled head another one enters. This time, I begin to realize that there is no way we can do this on our own. First and foremost, our same Father who has created this amazing place that I get to spend so much time at is the same one who has blessed us with amazing family and friends who want to care for us.
There are simply no words to express my gratitude and love to everyone who surrounds us and is a part of our life - big or small!
Please take some time and get down to the Montage. Go with your spouse, a friend, your kids! When you are there take in the beauty that surrounds you and take a deep breath and thank God for everything you have and the fact that HIS spirit lives in all of us! What a privilege it is that we are all on this journey together!
I am not ready to leave my rock because the morning is the best part of my day and this day is looking amazing and I want to stay right here feeling exactly how I do right now! Zach is coming out of the water and he really wants to head down to Strands to walk on beach! Who am I to argue? What a day the Lord has made! I am certainly going to be glad and rejoice in it!!
