driving into the sunrise
the early morning drive from holland to grand rapids is pretty nice- if it's timed just right, you can catch the sun popping up and over the horizon, and it stays a mild red just long enough to make the trip before it gets too bright to look at.
we met with the folks from hospice of michigan yesterday, and we have a meeting with all of the docs that have been following isaiah since we've been in here. we've generally been happy with the care, but we are ready to be done with the ICU scene. whether it's here or in chicago.
we're in the early stages of planning for what's to come, and will continue to update this site. we have internet access in isaiah's room now- so that helps.
thank you-again- for lifting us up as we try to tune into the natural ebb and flow of life with our family.

I know you will recognize this song joe and it is a good thing we are in blog'o'sphere because you certainly don't want to hear me sing it, but it goes a little somthing like this... "be not afraid, I go before you always, come follow Me and I will lead you home..." funny that it shuold pop in my head after reading your post, but there is was and here we are - the group of us...waiting and praying of course - always. much love - a
I even think part of the song Ami referenced says, "Come follow Me and I will bring you REST." I am sure all of you need a rest from hospital halls by now. We await news that you have "blown that popsicle joint" and headed through "sunrise - sunset" to your own home. We love you! GGV
Mornings are my favorite time of day. They always give me a clean slate and a feeling of peace. As I drank my coffee and enjoyed the images of sleeping kids throughout the house, I glanced upon the spot where all of your wedding photos were taken. I can't help but think of what 7 years has brought us. Ryan and I are so thankful for the times we have shared with you. Wine, food, golf, and giggling cousins that have created such a close bond. Just as we have shared in the joys of your life, we now stand before you to share in the grief as well. Know that we are here for you, and will continue to be just as you have always been there for us. Here's to mornings that always come.

I had a little different of a song pop into my head when I was thinking of you all this morning. It was Ben Harper's "Blessed to be a Witness".
I feel truly blessed to witness your family's strength and courage. Be it at the other end of the internet, but I have mourned your struggles and rejoiced in your success.
May God bless you all!
we love you.
always. matt & amy
Jen, if you need a place to crash closer than heading home, just let me know. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
