“Thank you for your generosity! Aside from that, I am thankful for the health of my first child, a baby daughter who was delivered two months premature 7/31/11 in Mexico while at a wedding (I DID have permission from my OB to attend). I am thankful for Tricare and SOS International, both of whom got us care overseas and got us back to the states for more intensive care until we came home 9/16/11. I am thankful for my husband who remained calm in crisis and did EVERYTHING he could for our daughter and myself during our Mexico crisis/blessing. I am thankful for all of our family and friends who have reached out to us over the last several months! Last, I am thankful for my husband’s job, despite the time he spends away from home, in that it is both a vehicle for which he can help protect our nation as well as a means for me to stay home right now with our sweet preemie!!”
