Feb 4th pm update

Good Evening KSG,
I hope this message finds all of you well. Thank you for the rally of support in prayers for Kolton. After my trip to WI today I stopped by and saw him on the way home. He looked well, even though he is fighting, his color is good and he looks very relaxed and comfortable.
I know a lot of you may not know of my employment situation.. so here it goes. Back in Oct the company that I worked for was preparing for the worst in with the economy and decided to do an internal merger of their sales force. Being the non-tenured rep I was let go. My last day was actually the end of Dec. Honestly I don't blame them it was a wise decision. I was bummed at first, but everything happens for a reason!!! Now that I look back I have enjoyed the time I have had off to spend with my wife and son Tavyn, take care of their needs and work a little bit on the house. How many Dad's can really say that they had 3 months of quality time with their kids? I can! I realize now that things really do happen for a reason, it is part of His plan. If I was employed during the time Kolton came into this world, I don't know how I would have managed my family, our household, and a job. I was very fortunate for things to play out as they did! I had a lot of great support from my former manager, colleagues, friends, family, Gretchen's work family, and my clients in looking for a career. As is turns out the offer I accepted today will be calling on all of my old accounts (ie, pre-established good relationships) in my old territory, with a wonderful company that feels like everyone that works there is a long lost relative (the good kind)! A "Win-Win" for the company and me and my family. I believe that this is His way off telling me that Kolton is in good hands and it is the right time for me to go back to work and take care of my families financial needs. One of the first things I will be doing is taking my wife out on a date!!! It has been a while and she more than deserves it.
I want to thank all of our neighbors in our cul de sac for taking such good care of us during our little situation. You guys are the best and we can't thank you enough for being the some of kindest people we know. We consider you guys family! We can only request continued prayers for our little figther Kolton. Thank you all for continually lifting us up.
Sleep tight!
The Thompson Tribe
