THANKSGIVING MIRACLE

THANKKSGIVING MIRACLE

We are so blessed and beyond delighted to be HOME for Thanksgiving. This is a true miracle that was not expected. Caitlyn is such a fighter, and so strong that she has made an incredible turn around in the last 24 hours. I stayed up praying the entire night before, and our prayers were more than answered. She is medically stable and there is no better place for her to continue her healing than home with her loved ones, her own bed, and surrounded by all of the positive things that will help her continue to find strength, speech, and her memory. When her Dr. came in to check on her he was blown away by her overnight progress, and he asked her “Caitlyn, do you want to go home for Thanksgiving?” Caitlyn and I looked at each other, squeezed each other tight and cried our eyes out. I said baby theses are tears of joy, and she said I know Mama “happy” tears. All the Dr.’s and nurses were cheering to, and so proud of her for her fighting determination to conquer this battle. It was the biggest smile I had seen on her face in a long time.

We still have a long road ahead and this fight is not over yet but we need this time to rest, and regroup as a family. We need newly gained strength before we go down the next path. The last week was horrifying and much to personal to share but even in the worst moments no matter how awful or scary it all felt we/I always stayed strong, hopeful, thankful, and positive. She is with us today, her heart is beating, and we can kiss and hug her a 100 times a day. That is a true blessing!

We could not have made it through this last week with out all of your prayers and support. Everyday we are touched by your love. Prayer, and positive energy is so powerful and trust me we felt it! So today just know that we are so THANKFUL for all of you, and each other. Make sure you tell your loved ones today how much you appreciate them, and never stop being thankful and greatful for all things your life!

We love you all,

Stephanie, Matt, Caitlyn, Kayla, and Brayden Neely xoxo

P.S A very special thank you to Mikkel who walked every step of this path with our family, and did an amazing job of keeping you all informed. I would not leave Caitlyn’s side and we were all too emotional to talk about it so we love you Mikkel for being so strong and amazing!
