Thank you

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank our amazing support system. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who reached out to us after reading my post on MWS. It is so reassuring to know that we have such amazing friends and family who care so deeply for us and are saying special prayers for us.

In addition, I would like to thank our wonderful family who have been amazing over these last two years.

Dear Grammy & Grampy,

Thank you for always being just a phone call away. Thank you for rushing down on 10 minutes notice to stay with Presley while we took Kiley to the doctor. Thank you for keeping us company in the hospital. Thank you for staying with the girls so Mommy and Daddie can have a night out. Thank you for having us for dinner in the middle of the week, so Mommy doesn't have to cook and sending leftovers home with us so she doesn't have to cook the next night either =). Thank you for taking shifts with Marmee and Guy to help take care of Kiley when she was so sick right after Presley was born and Mommy couldn't be with her. Thank you, Grampy, for cleaning the vomit out of the car after one of Kiley's seizures. Thank you, Grammy, for staying the extra 20 minutes last December so that you were still with us when Kiley had her 4th seizure. Thank you for coming to help us so much during the week the first couple months of Presley's life when Kiley was so sick. We miss you so much when you go on your trips, but we look forward to seeing you when you come home to us and we love showing you how much we have grown and developed! We are looking forward to our boat rides this summer!

Dear Marmee & Guy,

Thank you for always being here for us when we need you, and making the decision to come be with us after Kiley's seizures even though we tell you not to. Thank you for rushing to the ER for both of Kiley's complex seizures. Thank you, Marmee, for holding Kiley in the ER when she had to get an IV for dehydration and Mommy couldn't be there because Presley was only 2 weeks old. Thank you for holding Kiley when she is sick to give her the motherly love Mommy couldn't when Presley was first born and sleeping on the couch outside Kiley's room just to make Mommy feel better. Thank you for taking care of Presley when we stayed the night in the hospital with Kiley during her second seizure. Thank you for helping us through Kiley's 3rd seizure on Thanksgiving morning and offering to go buy a turkey from wal-mart if we didn't want to travel with Kiley. Thank you for rushing up to the house after Kiley's most recent seizure and bringing your dinner that you were about to sit down and eat and making sure Mommy ate it with you. Thank you for letting us come stay with you when Mommy and Daddie go out of town. Thank you for making fun memories with us and letting us get wild and crazy!! Thank you for sitting down and feeding us even while Mommy is home, just so she can have a little break to sit back and watch her girls.

Dear Aunti K,

Thank you for coming to visit us on your days off from work and playing with us to let Mommy go run some errands. Thank you for letting us dress up in your tshirts and watch your fun movies. Thank you for getting us our first My Little Ponies and brushing their tails after we get them all matted up from carrying them around and chewing on them. Thank you for getting down on the floor and playing with us the entire time you come to visit. Thank you for letting us come play at your house even though Sweetie gets jealous =).

Dear Aunt M,

Thank you for coming to spend the night with us during the week and helping feed and bath us before we go to bed. Thank you for sacrificing your weekends to come stay with us when Mommy and Daddie are out of town. Thank you for sending Mommy pictures and videos the whole time she is away from us. Thank you for loving us unconditionally and giving us a million kisses every time you see us.

Dear Daddie,

Thank you for being so strong for Mommy. Thank you for helping Mommy to stay positive when she needs it the most. Thank you for getting us to the ER quickly and safely during Kiley's seizures. Thank you for taking Kiley to the after hours pediatrician when Kiley was sick right after Presley was born and filling out ALL of the paperwork. Thank you for taking Kiley to get her ear surgery all by yourself after staying up the night before with Presley when she was newborn to feed her every two hours, when Mommy was sick. (I should also thank Grammy, Grampy, Marmee, Guy and Aunt M for all coming back around us after catching the same horrible virus from the hospital that Mommy had while visiting Kiley). Thank you for being the rock of our family.

There are a lot of Thank You's in this post, but it does not even scratch the surface of all that you all have done for us. Despite our challenges, you have all been here for us and we could not have done it without your love and support. You have made many sacrifices for us over the last couple of years and we cannot Thank You enough. We love you all very much.

Love,
Mikey, Lacey, Kiley & Presley
