Went to bed last night praying and woke up this morning praying for you both. God has you both in the palm of his hand.

I will be thinking of you Natalie and your loving family today. Jason, if you need anything please don't hesitate to let me know.

Miss Cindy

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you and Jason know that Tony & I (and the kids) are all thinking about you and saying our prayers. The both of you are the strongest peole we've ever known, and fighters!!!...I know you will be great Nat!!! Remember, God didn't bring you this far without a WONDERFUL plan in mind. You are going to be 10X better then you ever were!!! Stay strong and remember your top three reasons for pushing through the tough times...Jason and the twins!!! We all love you and can't wait till you get back...we still need to go for dinner. :)
Tony & I have Friday with Joe & Rosemary...don't worry Jason, we'll keep the little ones hopped up on sugar till you get back. I'm sure they can't wait to see ya!!!! I'm sorry that we haven't done more to help out. Things have been crazy around here, but being parents of twins, I know you probably understand. BUT that being said, those babies have been the BIGGEST and PROUDEST moments of my entire life, and I know they are your's as well. Get back here as quickly as you can...we need you!!! We love you and can't wait to hear the GREAT news tomorrow. Keep us posted!!!! XOXOX

We're all back here pulling and praying for your quick recovery. Sounds like you've got a great team of docs and we know you're going to be good as new. We'll be looking forward to Jason's run on message tomorrow that your heart is running like a finely crafted swiss watch --without all the ticking. Remember, if you go with the porcine valve you may have a lifetime bacon addiction. Blessings and much love Jim and Vickie (and Abby)

Natalie and Jason we are all thinking of you. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers and we will continue to pray for you. Stay strong!

Thinking of you,
Kelly, Karen , Trace and Evan

Hi Natalie,

Glad to hear Jason is a good nurse. We are thinking about you and are anxious to spend sometime with J and L. Elizabeth equipped them pretty good for their b-day.

Your Mom told Elizabeth a funny story about Leah and how she protected you, when you tried to carry her. So Sweet! Take care of one another and we will see you soon.
