Praise Night

We are just getting home from the Praise Night at the Oakfield Methodist Church. My heart is overflowing with the love that was poured out on us from everyone there. It is not every day that your community comes together in such an awesome way. I wish I could tell you every detail of the night...but there were so many blessings it would take me all night! There were groups who sang, children who sang, people who played the piano, teen bands, choirs, soloists...all praising God with beautiful music. At the end of this amazing evening, the crowd each lit a candle as our family was asked to look out and see the "lights" and faces of all of those who have been praying. A moment I will never forget...

We were also blessed to see a slideshow of pictures of our family while the beautiful candles flickered in the crowd and the song "Go Light Your World" sung by Chris Rice was played. I managed to say a few words of thanks and felt like a sputtering mess, but hopefully my gratitude and appreciation shown through my emotion!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped organize this event, to everyone who shared their music, and to all who came to praise with us. The focus of this night was to come together to glorify He who has been with us each step of the way. I'm so overwhelmingly honored to call this community my own and to raise my family among such caring people. With great love, Megan

2 days to go

Thursday (scan day) is just two days away. What a battle I have between "best case scenario" and "worst case." Like all the other painfully long periods of waiting we have endured, I just want to fast forward to next week. We will meet with the oncologist on Monday to go over the results. I'm hoping that maybe she can call us Friday to give us any news. We also are meeting with the neurosurgeon who operated on Brady back in Januray. We are interested in discussing possible ways to stabilize Brady's spine either through surgery or bracing. Brady has PT on Tues and Thurs morning in Rochester next week. Then on Friday next week the triplets have their 2 year appointment. SO, driving to Rochester 5 days between now and next Friday!

There are some terrific events happening this week to support Brady! Tomorrow night from 4-8 the Alexander High School Builder's Club is hosting Brady night at Wendy's restaurant in Batavia. For those 4 hours, 10% of proceeds will go to support Brady! On Saturday night at 7pm the Oakfield Methodist Church is hosting a community Praise Night to honor Brady. There will be several performers from local churches participating. My community has been a tremendous source of support for us and we are looking forward to celebrating all God has done for us at this wonderful event!

Pray for our little family as all seem to be succombing to this cold that is going around.
