Throwback Post - Our first few days




There's a ton that happened while at the hospital that I'm still processing and want to share, so I figured I'd do my first one in honor of #tbt.

Before we knew about the tumor, before we knew it was cancer, before we knew we'd be living at the hospital for a stretch, one of our first visits came from our lovely friends Jon and Amy.  It was a great visit, and they asked if we wanted/needed anything.  It would not be the last time we heard that question.  But I jokingly said that Imogen would like a singing performance.

Later that evening, this pops up on our phone:

Imogen laughed and wiggled in the bed as we sang it together. It was one of the first, and one of many beautiful moments we shared as we walked forward into the days that lay ahead.  In fact, living water was a recurring theme from more than one person during our stay. And when Imm started to get chemo for the first time, it was a word that we held onto and claimed for her, that she would be strong "like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."
