A Visit With The Neely's

My husband Nathan, my daughter Natalie and I had the pleasure of visiting with The Neely's while on a trip to the desert. We arrived at their home just after Red Robin had stopped by with a wonderful meal, a giant card and even The Red Robin himself (not sure if he has a name)! The family was overjoyed with the thoughtful gesture.

It was great to see all of them. Caitlyn instantly wanted to hold Natalie and feed her dinner. Such the little mommy! Kayla spent most of the time inspecting the toy bins to make sure that there were not any small pieces that could hurt Natalie! Brayden was happy to share his cars with her. These acts only showed me the kind hearted and caring spirit instilled in them from their amazing parents.

Stephanie & Matt both expressed how thankful they are for all of the support and love they are receiving from family and friends. The road ahead is unknown and they will continue to need us all.

Steph has asked that I keep this blog updated as we proceed down the path of Caitlyn's healing. Please share any stories or words of encouragement for their family. I know that Caitlyn has logged on to this site to see all of the comments for her!! SO keep them coming.

Caitlyn has her next MRI on Monday, November 2nd. Please say a prayer as you know how scary these tests are for her. After I hear from Steph, I will post an update to let you know how it went.

Love, Mikkel Pearce
