The 3 month celebration @ 6,500 feet

From an elevation gain of 2 feet on the bed in post-operative recovery, to 1,000 feet at Fragrance Lake, the wild flowers at 3,500 feet on Skyline – and now celebrating her 3 month anniversary at 6,500 feet on top of Yellow Aster Butte. The number and scale of change is hard to keep track of:

• From medical check ups every 20 minutes the first night post-op, to weekly visits for the next 3 months, now one visit every three months.


• From being tired from walking up three stairs and sleeping every afternoon, to entering more or less fully into the Polhamus lifestyle; full, fun, friendly and frenetic.


• From hoping simply to live, to planning on living well and fully

It is wonderful to behold. The rest of the family is slowing beginning to believe, and emotionally appropriate, the fact that our beloved Anne will remain well – well for hours, days, even weeks and years! Our God has been gracious to us, and we are so enjoying what we have now while not presuming upon the future. Come say hi some time, the fire pit is usually “on” and drop-ins are welocome.
