*here's a note from betsy and my husband.

To my friends, family, and those I have yet to spit up on:

Last Friday, I had a little accident.  I had to go to Kansas City and get my eye fixed, but the surgical team was great and I’m going to be fine.  I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who prayed for me.  I’m not out the woods yet, so please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.  I have 31 stitches in my left eye, but I’m able to move it.  That’s how cool I am.  I probably won’t be able to see with it, but no one knows for sure.  The doctors tell my parents that I have a long road ahead of me, but I’m not scared.  This is a little speed bump, not a roadblock.  Don’t feel sorry for me or I will bite you, then poop my pants and make you change me.  Look me in the eye and ask yourself if you think I’m joking…




I love you all.  Pass this on to everyone.  Remember that there are others with much bigger challenges.  Pray for them too.

  1. I have been thinking about you all constantly the past few days. I'm so relieved that Betsy Kate is doing better and they were able to save her eye. Sara, I love your attitude of her sight being a worry for another day. This was an attitude we quickly adopted when we were being given bad news about Reese all the time. You can cross that hurdle when you come to it. Many prayers to all of you.
