Awesome Things

Today we are gearing up and bracing for a winter storm of historical preportions!  I think it's gonna be like a little adventure for us!  We've got food ready, activities, and emergency supplies just in case.  I think I'm gonna introduce some of our family with the kids in The Sound of Music!  I think they will like the fact that we are related! 
So when we have babies we always donate our cord blood to St. Louis Cord Blood Bank.  Usually we donate they always comment on what a good donations we make.  As in that there are a lot of healthy cells and everything looks very good.  Well, I got a call yesterday saying that Eden's cord blood was identified to be a possible match for a child with leukemia that needs a cord blood transplant!  They wanted to check up and see how Eden is doing and make sure that she is still healthy and everything.  I said yes and answered all their questions.  It is so thrilling to know that it might actually help save a child's life!  It just gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!  Aren't we truly blessed in this day and age to have made the medical advances that we have?  It's walking a fine line with some of the more atrocious things we can do with the medical field as well (i.e. abortions, cloning, etc.).  When something like this happens though you know that it is all for a good purpose.

That is amazing and precious. You did make me cry. Eden is her guardian angel and you and Jeremy actually was able to give life to another child. Wouldn't it be amazing to find out who it is? This is very special.
