I am finding out we can never have enough positive thoughts and
energy brought to our family. As we are all on a big roller coaster that
goes straight up, straight down, and not to put together. (If that makes
much sense.) Your blogs have been encouraging to Tanner at this time.
We knew the reality would hit as some point, and we would have to be there
for each other to pick one up as the other falls. The emotions definitely come
from one extreme to the next, and not with much warning. It also didn't help
with a bit of misunderstanding from a few nurses that didn't understand our
plan of therapy, which was to keep Tanner lifted by friends and family. The
amount of support has overwhelmed the staff and almost put me in jail (for the second time). Wow!
That was an interesting time. But we are over that, and have moved on to better more productive ways to help my son recover to his full potential!
Tanner wanted to share with everyone before he goes to sleep, "That he would not
have made it this far without all the prayers!" Tomorrow I will ask him to express
a little more before they give him his sleeping medicine.
I want to leave you with a quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley, It is called
PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD
It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is.
It all works out. Don't worry.
I say that to myself every morning.
It will all work out.
Put your trust in God,
and move forward with faith
and confidence in the future.
The Lord will not forsake us.
He will not forsake us.
If we will put out trust in Him,
if we will pray to Him,
if we will live worthy of His blessings,
He will hear our prayers.
This was sent to Tanner from a good friend that will be returning from his
mission on Dec. 22. He shared this with him. He would keep it by his bed to
read every morning. Thanks, Trent!
Once again we thank you for your support and love. I think I have met my challenge, which probably all of our family has. This will probably one of the hardest things I will
go through. My love to you all!

Tanner,
I check your blog sight first thing everyday. The new pictures and message from your Mom are great. I love the quote that your friend sent you from President Hinkley. We should all read it every morning.
You keep Believing Tanner. You believe in God and His love for you. Believe in his purpose and plan for you on this earth and you will never fail in whatever He needs you to accomplish. Believe in yourself, in your family, and all your friends and people who love you. Believe, because I know you have the character to work, work, work along with your faith.
P.S. I know things are tough right now. Life sometimes gives you the test before you've had a chance to study the lesson.
But God knows the test and will whisper to you all the answers you will need to pass.
Love, Brenda, Sister Morris, or "B" Sister Morris, whichever you prefer.
Tanner,
We want you to know we are thinking of you all the time. We ran across a quote from Michael J Fox and loved it! It says, " When I look to the future, I always look to the best version of it. If I meditate on the worst-case scenerio, by the time it materializes, I'll have experienced it twice. I find there is no point in that!" Think positive and see yur future as the best. The possibilities are endless. We love you.
The Barney Family
Tanner,
You are in our prayers and thoughts daily. We heard they moved you into a private room with no visitor retrictions - YEAH!!! That will make things so much better (especially for your Mom - we don't want to be making any jail visits!)
Keep up the great work - we are sure that you will come through this with flying colors! This is the season for believing - we will never quit believing in you!
Love,
The Cattani Family
I just read a joke and to share it with you. It goes kind of along with what just happened to your mom.
A police recruit was asked during the exam,"What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He answered, "Call for backup." You're a fighter, keep up the hard work! Have a great week. Love, Slaters
