Paramedics Came By to Check Up On Tristan!!

It was a great Sunday!  The Clark Family was finally able to return to our church for services this morning with our boy by our side!  We have really been missing our church and services (though many of our friends from church have been by our side for the duration of this crisis!) and were anxious to return this week to get pumped up for the week ahead.  Tristan was very excited to go and see all of his friends............though Mommy and Daddy did not allow him to go to his children's class with Miss Abby.........we made him sit next to us during service and I can't say that he enjoyed himself (sorry Pastor Mat).  He drew pictures........he asked if he could play his PSP........he made thank you's for his PSP.......all during service.  Well, at least he was productive!   After church we returned home to a great surprise..........the Surprise Fire Department crew of EMT's that had been here the morning of Tristan's accident on October 24 were coming for a visit!  Four EMT's in all came by.......Jesus Rivera, Jason, Ronnie and Randy wanted to see the miracle boy in person!  They stayed for a good 45 minutes to an hour visiting and were SOOOOOOOOO nice!  They spoke with Tristan and Wyatt and Bella and gave them stickers and hats and posed for pictures on the big fire truck!  Tristan didn't hang out with them for long as he was pretty pooped from being at church for most of the morning.  When he went into the house the EMT's were discussing details of the morning of the accident with Mommy and Daddy.  Pretty heavy stuff.  They also told us that they could not stop thinking about Tristan as all four of them have small children, two of whom had 6 year olds just like Tristan (I think)..........it certainly personalized this accident for them.  He was just weighing heavy on their hearts and they were extremely excited to hear that Tristan had been released from the hospital and was now home.......they said they don't often get the chance to come and witness the great outcome that we had experienced after they are an initial part of someone's care.  We were more than happy to let them come over and meet Tristan on a better day and give them many many thanks for their quick, decisive action that ultimately saved Tristan's life.  Thank you's certainly didn't seem like enough.........so we gave them big hugs on their way out as well!   Tristan is doing well.  Walking better.......talking better........all things better every day.  We do not have a therapy schedule yet, so Mommy will be on the phone with Outpatient Rehab center tomorrow to get that going.  Kind of enjoyed the last few days of last week off!  Tristan will not be returning to his class at school until after the Christmas holiday so his teacher, Mrs. Mize, is working with Principal Heatherly to arrange a tutor for Tristan to ensure that he does not fall behind.  That is awesome and we are most appreciative for that!  Mommy can use all the help she can get!    Tristan and Aaron and I and the whole family just want to THANK everyone for all of the wonderful things that you have done for us since the day of the accident.  It feels like the longest two weeks in eternity to me........BUT.........we felt so loved and surrounded by people that were lifting us up and just never felt lonely throughout the whole ordeal.  We are just so grateful for all of the prayers and for people that even made a point to put Tristan on prayer chains at other churches!  The power of prayer is amazing!  We thank God for saving our boy........and the Surprise Fire Department for the ways in which God used them to help saveTristan!   Shannon
