Baby Jonah update

Things are busy and hectic around here, as you can well imagine. Harry, Dawn, and Baby Jonah came home Monday afternoon. He has his ups and downs. He will seem to be failing and struggling to breathe, and then he rallies. We are focusing on making each moment meaningful.

Harry had the wonderful idea of celebrating his daily birthday each night along with family prayer - so we have had 2 birthdays - complete with cupcakes and candles. Tonight we will combine the celebration with Porter's.

The children get up and go to school, and they have shown a lot of understanding and maturity. Friends have provided play dates for the kids, ward members and neighbors have brought meals and flowers.

Hospice care has been provided, and all those who have come to the house have been kind and supportive.

It's not the scenario we might have chosen, but we are finding love and comfort being with each other. We feel the love and support that is being offered by all of you.

Harry has taken lots of pictures and plans to make some kind of commemorative book or post. It probably won't be really soon though.

And speaking of Harry, he was honored by Burbank Police Department as "Officer of the Year."

Life goes on, as you can see.
