One Big Happy Family!


This picture was taken Sunday afternoon. It was so beautiful and the leaves had to be raked, so we took the opportunity to get a family picture. This was 5 days post surgery for Makenzie and you'd hardly know it! She is truly an amazing young lady. We thought it would be good for her to get outside in the fresh air, help clear those lungs out a bit. And it worked. She had a great night and slept until 9:30am Monday morning.


She is doing very well. We need to keep drinking plenty of fluids and get rest, but now the hard part is going to be telling her to settle down. The girl's been in bed for 5 days, she wants to play!


Thank you all once again for your thoughts and prayers. We are so blessed to have family and friends like you!

Dear Jake, Heidi, Makenzie and Tyler,

Thank you for filling us in on the good news! We are so proud of all of you.

A friend of ours who had a heart transplant several years ago, told us about this one Bible passage that now means so much to him.

It reads:
26"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

God bless your new heart, Kenzie.

With love and prayers,
Kory and Dan
