Some of our good friends have a daughter about 4 months younger than Gracie. In April she they took her to the doctor because things didn't feel right and they ended up at Primary Children's Hospital with the possible diagnosis of cancer, but really none of the doctors are sure what is wrong with their daughter. There is talk of her being a case study because her symptoms have never been seen in an infant before. This has been a hard time for their family so one day when we asked what we could do to help they invited us to the hospital to play with their two older children and just visit. This was our first time past the lobby at Primary Children's and we discovered they have an awesome playroom.
Here we are posing as different super heroes.
Alden and his friend Nixon being Ninja Turtles.
Not sure what happened to Gracie's shoes, but she had fun in the toy room as well.
In addition to toys they also have simple crafts you can make. Alden, Jersey, and Nixon spent quite a bit of time at this table making several different crafts to take home.
Although we had a lot of fun this morning it was a very real reminder of how fragile life is and that we can't always protect our kids from everything. I am grateful to know that no matter what happens on this earth we will always be an eternal family. I am also grateful for wonderful people that the Lord places in our lives to help us learn charity and gratitude from. The Catmull's are some of the best examples of enduring through trials with hope and faith that I have ever met and I am trying harder everyday to be more like them.
