Hello my dear friends!!!
Well I know I have been slacking in my updating department but I promise it is only because things have been so wonderful that I rarely find time to slow down.
I pray that in the time that has passed that your time as well has collected wonderful memories and brought you many blessings.
I have faith that many of you who may have crossed a broken road or traveled an unknown path has chosen to hold your head high, your faith strong and has surpassed all expectations with the Lord in your presence.

Though the journey my family has endured is one that not many have traveled I am glad that I have been able to share our experience's with so many. I pray that in the dark of our night many saw light in their day. Every thing in life brings so much knowledge and if you just allow yourself to accept that things WILL happen that you cannot change and things WILL NOT always go your way....well, there is alot to be seen on those days. It is these days that many will come to be with you, many will pray beside you and where one or more is gathered...well, you know the rest :)

Okay...so I am babbling on but I am just touched that when I get on this website and though I have not been on here to update many of you have stayed faithful to us by sending your support! Amazing! Can you imagine! If we, as people in this Earth never forget people we care about...can you imagine how our Father feels. WOW! I am just so proud and honored to be a part of such great faith and love!

Ok, so now about Jason :D He is doing wonderful! Always by the grace of our Lord! He, as I was promise from the beginning...is being restored! He just completed his last surgery to his left arm and it has gone very well. We are walking through the light at the end of the tunnel my friends! His last surgery was completed April 24th on his left arm. They released it by placing grafted skin on the front and back of his underarm. His right leg was used as the donor site and this time around they used a new dressing for the donor. Well just to let you know...the donor site is already healed and they are already doing therapy on his arm!! God is good! This healing process went by so fast I can't believe it!
Now this is not to say that he is done with all surgery. The doctor did let us know that in the future the skin may tighten and cause some discomfort and it will be Jason's decision at that point! But the huge thing about that statement is that our future is now in our hands :)
So our life is finally moving forward! Well it never stopped moving forward but now there is so much more to look forward to! I am so amazed by my husbands strength! He continues to amaze me everyday! And I mean everyday! The simplest of things are now greatly appreciated. I never appreciated waking up to him every morning. I do now more than ever.  I will never stop.
Thank you to so many of you who have stayed by our side!

May we always join in faith and prayer every night. I hope one day we cross paths and hug and laugh and enjoy new friendships!

With all good said, goodbye for now...

LOVE,
The Baird Family!
