2009 Review # 2 - Big & Little Miracle

2009 has been filled with miracle's - I have two, one big and one little.  My big miracle is my wonderful husband, Reese and my little miracle is our daughter Sage.  What a crazy fall we had.  When Reese had his aneurysm our world was turned upside down. On the night of August 27th, I was 29 weeks pregnant and sleeping peacefully when Reese came rushing into the room telling me he had chest pains and to call 911.  He doesn't remember much after that.  I will never forget those 7 days until he woke up - they were the longest 7 days of my life.  We are very lucky that we have amazing friends and family that were here to help us through.  Family all rushed here to be with us.  My parents, Reese's parents, his brother Russ (who was my rock during his week at the hospital), my sister Shelley and her family.  Corvin was a good distraction for us all.  The countless friends that came to the hospital to support us - especially Kelly and Jason, Melissa and Patty.  There are many little miracles that happened to help Reese through this - the ER doctor that knew he didn't have the tools to help Reese and called the helicopter to transport Reese to Methodist Hospital,  the amazing surgeon that was on call that night, the skilled nursing staff that took care of him in ICU for 10 days.  But the most important is Reese and his determination that he was going to make a full recovery.  He is well on his way and I am so proud of him and all that he has overcome to get to where he is now.  He is finishing up Cardiac Rehab and is back at work.  Looking at him you would never know the trauma he experienced this fall.  What an amazing man he is and I am so lucky to call him my husband!   I  love you Reese!
