In July we had another opportunity to go the Lighthouse Family Retreat. We were so thankful to be able to get away this year. It was so amazing to be there with our family when Griffin was feeling well. Last year he was not feeling well and we were in a very scary place right before his transplant. We were grateful to be welcomed by the Lighthouse family once again.
This is a photo with all the survivors (and a few children in treatment) in the foreground.
Here are Olive June and Griffin looking out the sliding glass-door of the house we stayed in.
