Thank You

Getting close to the end of the second long stretch in the hospital. Mom and Dad wanted to share a sincere thank you with everyone that's been sending thoughts, prayers, cookies, meals, toys, hugs, rides, guest rooms and big love our way. No words to describe our gratitude...

Love,
Jason, Courtney and Raina V
