Logistics and Love

by Joe and Sarah

Days are flying by and as we draw closer and closer to Luke's arrival, we are continually overwhelmed by people's loving kindness-es toward our little family.  Based on the consistency of several questions being asked, we wanted to post and share some logistical information that you may be wondering about yourselves.  So please know that we harbor no expectations of any sort- but just wanted to share the following information should you be interested.

Luke will be born via C-section at 9am on January 4, 2010 at Overland Park Regional Hospital.  We will be posting ways you can specifically be praying for us on this day and leading up to this time in a future post.  We are asking that there be no visitors on this day as it will be extremely difficult for us and for our families. 

We have planned a service to honor Luke's life that will be held on January 9, 2010 at 3:30pm.  It will be held at Village Presbyterian Church and is open to anyone who would like to come. 

We have received many, many kind offers to bring us meals in the days and weeks following Luke's birth and passing and are deeply touched by everyone's thoughtfulness and love for us in this area.  Our dear friend Katie has offered to coordinate these meal offers and their delivery for us.   If you are someone who has expressed interest in doing this for us, we ask that you would please contact Katie at: kyeldell@gmail.com so that she can help facilitate this.

Again- we continue to be so deeply and sincerely touched by everyone's outpouring of love for our family during this season.  We have many updates to the blog that will be posted soon as there has been so much happening lately, but we wanted to get some of the logistical questions answered first as they seem to be what we have been asked about the most as of late.  We love you and cherish your prayers and support and we simply thank you will all of our hearts.
