More Windows

FYI: We are doing a MAJOR overhaul of the blog so please pardon our appearance. We hope to get the permanent one up and running soon.

So I mentioned in the previous blog that the windows keep flying open for Sy’s new therapy but I needed to save those for another entry. So here we go…

I wish I could sit here and list in detail all of the AMAZING blessings that we’ve received over the course of the last month alone but this entry would be too long. It has been so humbling and I long for the day that we will be the GIVERS instead of the receivers.

To start, we have had a couple of deposits in Sy’s account from various folks and two recent fundraisers. One fundraiser was from the Land Of Lakes Montessori School here in Clermont. The students had a Pajama Day fundraiser back in December. The sweetest part was the precious HUGE card they made Sy! He loved it!! We are so grateful to the school and all of its wonderful students for thinking of us!

Secondly, Norm Duke (World Champion bowler) is still raising funds through his Strikes For Sy campaign that he initially started over a year ago. He recently issued us a check that will allow us to go out to the clinic in San Diego for intensive training for Sy’s new therapy. This was totally unexpected. Thank you Norm for all you do for Silas and for spreading awareness about EE!

We’ve also had some other various blessings… We are more than blessed to be living in a community where we take care of one another. God has sustained our family through the loving hearts of those around us. It has been life changing both for us and our children.

Lastly, one of the biggest obstacles for venturing on our new journey with the Gerson Therapy was the cost of some of the supplies–one major appliance in particular. I’ll spare all the details but I had a phone call shortly after the new year started with a friend stating that this item had been ordered and would be shipped out soon. I was beyond shocked! This was a major hurdle that needed to be jumped in order to get started and lo and behold, it was done. Speechless. Grateful. Awed. Indebted. Excited. WOW!

We just want to express that we wouldn’t be able to get treatment for Silas (both past, present and future) without the loving donations from those of you who have given. That truly blows us away ALL THE TIME. I just hope we say thank you enough!!
