Trish and I have been spending the last week trying to compose a Thank You letter that tried to match the level of outpouring of love and support that we have received and are still receiving. We have failed. There is no possible way for us to convey the level of thanks we are feeling. I found this quote from Williams Shakespeare that begins to attempt how we feel:



“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks." - William Shakespeare



It would be impossible to list out everyone by name and personally thank you all. So please accept this letter as our most sincere thanks for everything that you have done for us and for our family. The gifts of money, gift cards, Christmas gifts, food, and so many other things have been an absolute God send (literally). The notes, cards, words of encouragement, hugs, and shoulder’s to cry on have been awesome. Most importantly, the prayers, the prayers have been heard by our loving God and are being answered. We are looking at gifts and blessings one day at a time. Our biggest blessing has occurred this week. Owen went to full day school for 3 days in a row! He hasn’t done this since September. He’s still not over his medical needs and isn’t 100%, but we are learning to enjoy the 3 school days he’s had.



We will continue to provide you all with updates and progress reports as we face our next challenge: Getting into Mayo. We ask for your continued love, support and prayers.



THANK YOU!



Andy & Trish Olson
