It may seem odd but I'm thankful tonight despite my sister-in-law being rushed to a hospital earlier tonight.
Peggy has spent the last 33 months in the fight of her life but she came out victorious! She's been cancer/leukemia-free (and technically "male" for the rest of her life thanks to her little brother's stem cell transplant LOL) since August 2008.
But, it's been a long road back and life has hardly been back to "normal" for her. Peggy's back to work but she's definitely dealing with a new "normal." That new normal includes still getting the seasonal cold which for her still can become a major problem.
Which brings me back to the hospital trip today.
Peg was rushed to Chicago (about a 90 min drive from here) via ambulance to be with the original team who treated her for her leukemia to treat what initially seems to be a case of pneumonia.
And, MAN, am I thankful for that team! That team (as well as Peg's great and mighty God) brought her back from the brink of death. Peg, her immediate family, and those of us in the extended family have been blessed beyond comprehension by the work these medical folks do.
And, while I'm praying tonight for Peg, I'll be praying for that team, thanking God for gifting those folks the way He did, for the strength and wisdom He provides them, and thanking Him that they followed His calling into a field where life and death are an everyday deal.
So, what are YOU thankful for today?

Oh my goodness. I will keep your SIL in my thoughts and prayers. I hope it's *just* a cold and nothing too serious.
And, thank you for your comments about the van. I'm trying to figure out how best to proceed. I sort of want to tread carefully because I don't want to get a reputation as "that woman", because like it or not, they hold my vehicle in their hands!
