The Secrists Unplugged

What a wild two weeks of traveling, sickness and the last week of hospital. FINALLY West is home and our family is under one roof. We were thrilled to get him home yesterday and so thankful for all of the amazing nurses and doctors at Phoenix Children's Hospital. The care we received was amazing and the compassion and friendship so many of these professionals displayed was appreciated.

Additionally, we witnessed a week of angels who came into our lives without being asked, and made life easier with simple to unbelievable acts that make us profoundly grateful. You know who you are! From kid shuttling/managing, little drop-offs at the hospital, visits and refrigerators stocked with food! We love our awesome family & friends and feel "thank you" does not suffice for all of the blessings we received.

We are thankful for our Keller Williams Family too, locally and across the country, that issued hundreds of prayers on our behalf from all faiths and beliefs. I was so touched by the outpouring of so many different faiths united for a little boy in PHX. Faith is faith and we felt the power of all prayers to enable us to make decisions, think clearly without sleep, and to feel peace on hard days. We knew that God's will would be done and that all would be well.

We are thankful for priesthood blessings and know God hears and answers prayers. What an honor it is as a father to issue a blessing to our son in a time of need through the priesthood. It was a moment I will never forget. From that moment forward we felt taken care of and knew all would be well. We just knew it.

And that leads us to today! It is Secrist Unplugged Saturday - it is noon and we are still in PJs, just finished breakfast and plan to just chill. And then of course, West is quite literally UNPLUGGED and back in our home.

Thanks Mrs. Willis' Kindergarten Class for the awesome banner that hangs in West's bedroom.

This is West PLUGGED (no pun intended on all levels).

And here is West UNPLUGGED at home, the day he came home.

And here are the gals - still in PJs, building forts, riding scooters and just chillin'

THANK YOU FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
