Gratitude
We are humbled by the outpouring of love and support that we have felt recently. I struggle to find words even close to appropriate to express our thanks. We have beautiful, loving people around us who have taken such good care of us. We thanks you and we love you. We pray for you. I am so comforted by the love that so many have shown and for the reflection that it shows of the love that our Savior has for us as well.

A Little Clarification on Arvil's Status, and a Bit of a Cry for Help
As most of you know, our youngest, Arvil Jedediah has suffered a series of seizures and strokes since last August. Beginning with a couple of strokes in January, these have caused some serious developmental setbacks for him. at that point in time, he was beginning to crawl all over the house and was developing very normally. Since that time he has lost many of his motor skills including control of limbs and digits, the ability to stand or crawl or grab, and recently his speech. he never has fully recovered his fine motor skills, and recently was crawling again but his most recent stroke has hit hard and he is now being carried like a sack of flour.
Arvil is regularly visited by developmental specialists, speech therapists, physical therapists and occupational therapists. We have been seeing doctors and other practicioners both of conventional and alterative medicinal disciplines.
Arvil is a wonderful and important part of our family and we love him so much we cannot express it. we pray for him continually and thank our family and friends for their prayers as well. Arvils trials are trying to all of us as well and sometimes we could use more material help. Callie could use help witht he other kids and with the baby as he eats up so much of her time and energy sometimes it is hard to tke care of the other kids and the house. The occaisional meal would even be a boon. As I mentioned in my last post, this extra care can get costly for us and I am recovering from a recent layoff. Any financial or other material help or support would be appreciated. It is hard to humbly ask for help, but this is a time we can definitely use it.
We thank you all so much for everything you have already done for us and for your prayers in our behalf.
