Keeping Up With Ira
Stay at home spouses work full time...and some. But let's be honest, there are times when those of us who work outside the home secretly desire the job of staying home with the kids thinking thoughts like, "It can't be that difficult. Entertaining the kids with crayons while catching up with Oprah sounds pretty manageable. Anybody could do this!" But before this self-assuredness sets in we spend an evening or Saturday with the kids alone and are quickly reminded that the spouse who stays home works hard and we find ourselves thankful for their desire to do what they do.
I'm incredibly grateful for Laura's willingness to take over and manage Ira's schedule. Ira's week last week was as follows:
MONDAY: speech path/feeding at 3:30 PM
TUESDAY: Children's Hospital to see pulmonary at 10 a.m. and surgery at 1 PM
WEDNESDAY: physical therapy at 8:15 a.m. and speech path at 3:30 PM
THURSDAY: speech path/feeding at 7:30 a.m. and occupational therapy at 3:30 PM
FRIDAY: physical therapy at 8:30 a.m. and pediatrician at 9:30 a.m.
Keeping up with Ira and his schedule is a full time job and I'm thankful that Laura is willing to take it on. Laura, Ira and Sophia are fortunate to have you, as am I.

As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water."
Laura's strength is a like a beacon in the night for those who will find themselves in hot water. I hope this is as hot as it will ever get for her.
Happy thanksgiving to all of you. What a blessed day of thanks it will be. Thank you to both of you for being such a great example of faith to us all. May God continue to bless Ira and your entire family.
Joe, just got our Mac back and was finally able to watch the videos. Wow! lots of tears and more prayers said. Thank you for sharing Ira with us. I loved watching Laura talk to Ira and his response to her was so precious. I loved the staff response to Ira leaving...the clapping, the hugs, the running to say goodbye...all so powerful.
