When you believe

After two weeks in Salt Lake City, Janey was Life Flighted back to St. George today! During her time at Primary Children's she had a few really rough days, but has made a lot of progress. The swelling in her head has gone down, they took her off the ventilator, and she weighs over 3 pounds! We are all very excited to have her closer to us again, especially Taylor and Callie who haven't got to see her since she has been at Primary's. Despite the many trials Janey and our family has faced, we have always had the calming assurance that she was going to be okay, and that everything would work out. During those hard days, there is a song entitled "When you believe" by Stephen Schwartz that would always bring comfort and hope. I would like to share a portion with you:
"Many nights we've prayed, with no proof anyone could hear.
In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood.
Now we are not afraid, although we know there is much to fear.
We were moving mountains, long before we knew we could.
There can be miracles when you believe.
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve,
When you BELIEVE!"

I'm so glad she is doing okay. I was almost in tears reading her updates. I can't believe you guys are going through all of this. It doesn't surprise me, though, because you guys are SO strong and faithful. Only the toughest can handle something like this. Thanks for your example of faith and courage.
