17 Dec Update

Not much new to report today. Ben and Sam and a fun day at school since they spent all day visiting each other's classrooms for a multicultural fair they've been preparing for. Ben had karate and got in some good punches... The boys are definitely affected, but they seem to be holding up well.
Sarah did ok but is really tired and very weak. We had a few visitors and she got some naps in as well. Thomas and I had her open her Christmas present early - an iPad and stand-up case so that she can stay connected with friends and family while resting in bed.
Some of our local friends have been asking if it's ok to visit or if we'd rather have more private time together. Sarah likes to have visits so no worries, as long as we keep from tiring her out - so shorter visits are best and I try to space them out a bit so she can rest in between. She and I are also finding opportunities to spend time together throughout the day.
We are also very touched by the origami cranes that have started appearing at our front door. Thank you for that visual reminder of how many people in our community care about us!

Dear Sarah and Alan, I continue to think of you all and praying for comfort and peace during this most difficult time. Sarah you are an amazing person and an inspiration to so many. Much love to all of you.

I've seen both Sam and Ben in the last couple days at work, and seeing them smile makes me feel better. You have raised two very wonderful, special boys! Jane Treppa
