I recently posted about a little boy named August. The surgery Brennan is having next month, August had in May. The surgery that Brennan is having next March, August had 2 weeks ago. We had the pleasure of meeting August's parents, Rochelle and Anders, almost 2 years ago at a Microtia/Atresia conference. We just got back in contact about a month ago. Rochelle and I have been emailing tons and she's been so helpful in easing our anxiety about B's surgery scheduled for next month.
Well, we were able to go visit! They live about 1 1/2 hours away and we ended up staying the WHOLE day. They were so hospitable and gracious for having us over for lunch and dinner and even letting me bathe my kids before heading home.
We hung out and talked sooo much! And the boys...... well, they played the whole time.... non-stop! They played so well together.
I'm so thankful to have them in our lives. We have so much in common. She is even having a little girl due in 2 months.
It was also encouraging to see August running around and doing all the crazy things that little boys do... 2 weeks after an intense surgery. I was, once again, reminded that EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK. Brennan is going to be OK. He will still be the SAME Brennan. Surgery might put a hold on his daily activities for a while so he can recover but other than that, he will be FINE!!!
Daily I am reminded about God's blessings in our life. I feel so blessed to have met this family and to now be even more connected through our boys, which I am hoping will be a lifelong friendship!
