Getting Back to Normal

Tonight I write with a good feeling in my heart. As many of you know, Micheala's surgery and recovery has gone awesome. For daily updates, you can go to www.caringbridge.org/visit/schrock. Heather and I decided not to fill our family blog with Micheala's surgery information because we wanted this site to remain as upbeat and positive as possible. In other words, we didn't want "dump" on this website as we all went through an emotional month. However, I did post some picture below of the day after Micheala's surgery.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank a few special people. First, to my mom, dad and sister Joni; thank you for being there for Micheala and the rest of our family. I know that there were times when Heather and I just needed to have you there to lean on and you didn't disappoint. Also thank you for looking after Dylanne while we focused on Micheala. Thank you to Aunt Marilyn for watching over Dylanne on the day of the surgery. The girls really enjoy all the effort you put into their stays at your house. Thank you to Lani, who came numerous times to see Micheala and made sure that Heather and I had what we needed while in Iowa City. A very special thanks to Tad Benesh. Tad came to see us right after Micheala's surgery started, a time in which I was mentally unstable, and gave us laughs and conversation that helped us pass the time. It is awesome to have such a great friend and I appreciate the time he took out of his work day to come see us. Thank you to Aunt Darci, who came out to visit Micheala and cook us some delicious meals. Finally, Thank you to everyone who called, sent messages and prayed for Micheala. I plan on sitting down with Micheala some day and explaining to her what went on and how so many special people thought and prayed for her.

The Schrock family is so blessed to have such special people in our lives. Thank you again to all that took a little time for Micheala this past week.
