Hello From Idaho

My family and I are on a pseudo-vacation in Idaho this week. Stephanie's dad, Ron, was supposed to be at the tail end of a three week recovery period from colon surgery this week, so we had planned to come up and be with him. Instead, he has had all sorts of complications and is still in the hospital. Things are looking up however, and he may finally get to come home on Friday.

It's a difficult time for everyone. My almost 5 year old daughter doesn't understand why Big Daddy is not at home or why Gran is so tired. We want to help Gran get some rest, but we also want our kids to have time to get to know their grandparents because we live so far away.

I guess I'm blogging about this because we need all the prayers we can get. Prayers for healing and prayers for rest. Prayers for sanity and safety. And selfishly, prayers to know how to comfort and support without stepping on toes as the in-law on the scene.

Thanks everyone.
