New week

Hi everyone,
I apologize for being silent for several days. John Gruber posts all our updates for us (as I am “blog administratively challenged”) He and Nichole have a beautiful 15 month old daughter Lily, and she has been sick since last Wednesday. They made two trips to urgent care on Friday and a trip to the ER at Mary Bridge Children’s hospital Saturday. Lily was released, but is back at the hospital as of today and spending the night. She has an intestinal virus and has been running a fever and not interested in food or drink for several days. This has been a worrisome and stressful time for them.

Mom has been doing so well that I really didn’t want to burden John with having to post daily. Please pray for Lily, Nichole and John. They are precious to us and have no family here in WA state, (outside of our church family, which loves them to pieces!)

Ok,
About Mom and Dad:
Mom had a good weekend and enjoyed the nice weather. Yesterday (Father’s day) Carmen, Troy, Maria, Sadie, Nate and Sandy Macomber were all there in afternoon for lunch and to spend time with Mom and Dad. Brian and I and the kids were with Brian’s parents in Lacey. Brian’s Mom, Jane had rotator cuff surgery and is slowly recovering. Dad, Troy, Brittain, Glynn (Brian’s Dad) and Brian went to a golf course and hit balls while Paris and I stayed with Jane. Carmen, Sandy, Maria and kids stayed with Mom. There was a whole lot of “Grandma sitting” going on this weekend. After that, Brian and the kids and I went down to Mom and Dad’s to spend some time with everyone.

Mom had a good weekend and is still feeling pretty good. We are still waiting for confirmation on when she will return to UWMC for her next tests and chemo. Thank you for your faithful following on the blog. I really do need to learn how to post these so I can cut John loose.

I would like to ask you to pray for Lily and her Mom and Dad. It’s hard to watch our babies hurt. We are hopeful she will be released tomorrow. I will update you if that changes.
(I am hoping John will post a picture of little Lily so you can see her sweet face in your mind when you pray for her. If you want to see more, click here: The Grubers or if you want the pic to bigger, click on it)


I will be posting some information about the benefit meeting last Friday in the weeks to come. Thank you to those of you who could attend. I am personally a bit overwhelmed by all that is needed to pull this off. I want to thank Stephanie and Nate Floth from our family for heading this up. Your preparation before the meeting was huge. The rest is even bigger. I cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciate your gift of time and skills.

If anyone can come to the next meeting I am quickly learning we need tons of help to pull this off and precious little time to pull it off in. The next meeting is Friday June 27th at 7:00 PM. We could use many hands during the planning stage. Stephanie is well organized and has the experience none of the rest of us has.

Hope you all had a blessed weekend as well.
With love,
Kimberly and family
