Here Comes The Sun

We anxiously waited for the results from Carly's noontime blood lab, and when they came back with a normal calcium level we were thrilled that it was low enough to go home. As we turned the corner and headed towards our house, Carly couldn't help but smile as the the sun warmed her face.

The mystery of her high calcium is not solved, but since her tumor surgery is so soon they were willing to leave the mystery unsolved for now. We will closely monitor her calcium with daily labs, but expect that the medication they gave her will keep it in the safe range for the week. We will all sleep well tonight, that much is certain.

Love, Brad

Dear Carly,
I am a friend of your Aunt Allie and Uncle Andy. Aunt Allie has told me all about how special you are. I am writing to let you know that my family and I are praying for you each night. At the end of the "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer, my 3-year old son John says "God bless, Carly." Your name comes right after Pappa, Grammy, and all his cousins. I realize that you and John do not know each other, but we don't think that God cares about that.
Sincerely yours,
Sheila, Chris and John Ivens
