Get Better Soon Uncle Chaddy We Love You!!
Well this last week has been quite an emotional rollercoaster and I am glad to say that it's ending on a positive note. We have truly seen a miracle with all that Chad has been through and are just hoping that he can make some changes in his life. He is doing amazing. He is still in the hospital because his kidneys are not working at all so he is having to do dialysis everyday. He also has a huge blister on his ankle and we make a joke that that is why they still are keeping him in the hospital. The ICU nurses say that he is the easiest patient that they have had in a while (because their patients are usually 80 or older.) He just wants to do everything on his own. He is up walking around and taking showers. An exciting moment was when he went to the bathroom all by himself...thatta boy, Chaddy!We have seen many wonderful friends come by and be their to support Chad and our family. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy lives and being their for Chad and keeping him in your prayers. Sometimes just the simpliest little things can make you feel loved and special, and that is exactly what Chad needs.

well, after reading some of these comments, there must be something serious going on with your brother. is he ok? i dont want to pry on personal business but i hope he is ok.

my friend kristi built a house over by you but i dont know exactly where. also, our other friends were building behind bashas but found another house on higley and ray that they bought instead. is your house almost done? that is so exciting!

tiff-
1.update your blog
2.my heart sank to the ground when Chad walked up the bleachers and sat down right by us at the mvt game last night. seriously, i couldn't believe it. he didn't have 2 words to say though. I just wanted to sob for him. I hope he's alright. this calls for an email.
