Sending them my positive thoughts....

I have been reading the archives of Stephanie Nielson since hearing about her on the Today show. I found myself being jealous of her in a way. She's so creative, a seemingly perfect mother, such a nice and genuine person. She seemed to have it all in a way. Then I remembered she is lying in a hospital bed and so is her husband. I doubt the doctors even know if they will live or not. They seem to be doing fine now, but it's always iffy for quite a while for sever burn victims. It's hard to understand how something like this can happen to anyone. In addition to this, the husband lost his sister about 5 years ago and left a 2 month old baby behind. How much can a family go through?

One example of how great of a person Stephanie is can be found here:

Stephanie and a friend with all of their kids wrote happy fortunes on pieces of paper and hid them around town for people to find.

Stephanie's sister has taken in her 4 kids and has a newborn baby herself. I can't imagine having 4 kids of my own, let alone taking care of someone else's 4 kids in addition to my own. Another fine, strong woman to admire. Her blog is here: http://blog.cjanerun.com/
She is continuing to provide updates of her sister and brother-in-law's progress.

It's hard to understand how something like this can happen to anyone, but this seems to have happened to people that are handling themselves extraordinarily considering the circumstances.
