Tragedy

I am not sure how many people have heard of this family, The Nielsons but I can't stop thinking about them.

Stephanie had her own blog and if you read through it she was really quite amazing. Her perspective on life, marriage, and especially motherhood were so joyful. She truly loved everything about her life even on bad days.

In August Stephanie and her husband Christian were in a small plane crash and were severely burned. Christian's wounds were not as severe as Stephanie's but still bad. He seems to be recovering well enough per his sister-in-laws blog but Stephanie is still in a drug induced coma with multiple skin graft surgeries going on. They both have a very long road of recovery ahead of them and I pray they are able to return to their lives/family.

They have 4 young children and they are young themselves. It is just so sad and such a tragedy.

The family as well as many bloggers out there are accepting donations or have auctions going on to help the family with their ever growing medical costs. So if anyone is so inclined please check out their blogs for more info.

Loved Nie-nie's blog... she is such an inspiration to me

she has a long road to recovery, but I have no doubt that she will make it
