Hi, it's Annette again! I wanted to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all the kind CNN viewers who sent us well wishes and who even went as far as to call us after our article was posted by CNN in the health section.

That little smiling facing up there? We're all terribly thankful for everything everyone... EVERYWHERE has said,done or called.

My heart is overwhelmed by the kindness that has been shown to my family. I have a few people in particular I'd like to thank.

Ms. Patricia-I know God is watching out for us, thank you so much for your phone calls and your card.

Ms. Cynthia-I've enjoyed your phone calls so much! I feel like I've made a new friend who understands where I'm at.

Ms. Linda-it will get better. It has to!

There are so many people who've called just to tell us "hey, we've been in the same shape, keep your chin up." it's really been so wonderous.

To all you people who've taken us into your hearts, prayed for us, or sent us something, we truly are blessed to have you in our lives.

Thank you so much, you don't know what an impact you've made on us.

The Peterson Family,

Annette, Jeremiah and Isabelle (that little kid up there smiling at you)
