(i took this post from mom...)
Life changed with a phone call. Conrad had fallen into the Provo Rec. Pool while swimming with his Dad, Phoebe and the young men in his church family. Accidents can happen so quickly and will become learning lessons. He was pulled out unconscious with no pulse, but all the right things were done and he was taken to Utah Valley Hospital, then transferred up to Primary Children's Hospital. Everyone could not have been more helpful or kind. I will always remember hearing Larry's blessing for Conrad, as Ransom held him in the Provo ER. I stood near the outside curtain and folded my arms and bowed my head. As Larry spoke, many of the medical people stopped and folded their arms in prayer outside of the room and I felt incredibly thankful for the gospel in our lives and the comfort that a blessing can bring.
I am not sure what to say. I think this experience will take time to work through and to fully appreciate & understand. It's not enough to say I am thankful, it goes much deeper than that. I think one day I will be able to get my feelings into words, but for now I thought I would post pictures of Conrad at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake and let you see how he is doing. He is still thankfully our fun loving, good natured boy and will make a 100% recovery. Thank you for your prayers. We felt them around us and know our prayers were answered. We love each of you. He came home this afternoon.
Primary Children's Hospital is an amazing place. You can feel the spirit there so strongly as you watch them serve the children in such loving ways... many, many in heartbreaking situations. I am already thinking of ways to give back and help the children there.

(when paul and i got to the hospital, phoebe was screaming. she knew katie was in the other room, but couldn't get to her. paul and i took her home for the night. moments like this really put life into perspective. we all feel we can't be thankful enough in words, so our actions will have to be our words.)

When he was first sent up to Primary Children's Hospital,Conrad was checked out by a lot of medical people...
he screamed a lot and was so miserable. The only thing that
would begin to comfort him was being in his Mom and Dad's arms.
The next day, Conrad was still on oxygen andcontinued to be watch over. He never did warm up to the
poking and prodding medical people.
Snuggling time watching his favorite Disney movies
A visit from Phoebe helped a lot. She must have given him 10 kisses
in a row and he finally waved his arms and said "I'm done".
He loved to visit the Play Area down the hall...
a child's dream filled with the coolest toys and activities
Knowing he would be ok put smiles on our faces

Ash- I am so happy to hear he is doing good. That is one of the scariest things imaginable. Primary Children's is the best place in the world with the most amazing staff and doctors and everyone there is great.
I will pray he keeps healing well! love you!
There was an angel taking care of our Conrad! I'm glad pictures were taken for Conrad to look back on one day. I love you all so much! I'm counting the days...
