Today I am in awe of our bodies. Luc and I had the privilege of going to Body Worlds at the Leonardo in Salt Lake. The director of the Salt Lake Chapter of HopeKids arranged for us to go today. It was truly amazing. No wonder God considers us His greatest creation. It truly is a miracle how our bodies function and how resilient they are.
Luc's favorite part of the exhibit was the room with the development of the embryo into a fetus and then into a baby. He was so amazed at how an embryo tinier than a peanut can have arms and legs, fingers and toes. He felt sad to see the tiny babies who didn't make it to full term, even though they looked perfect.
We took special notice of the area of the body where Luc's tumor is located. It was so helpful to visualize what the brachial plexus looks like. No wonder they call it the "nerve center". It is so intricate.
I asked Luc if he still wanted to be a surgeon after seeing all the aspects of the human body and hearing how complicated it truly is. He said that he was more excited than ever to go into the medical field. We both absolutely loved the exhibit.

P.S. Luc's blood counts are still okay and we are so grateful for that so that we could go today.
It was so cool and really great to see you guys. Even though I'm pretty sure you are stalking me. Okay, I decided it's that our energy is on the same wavelength and so we are very often in the same location at the same time.
It was amazing huh! The babies were my favorite part too!
That is awesome!! I went to an exhibit by another company in Las Vegas last year and the baby section was my favorite too - plus the fact that I was pregnant at the time, so it was fun to compare. Glad to hear your counts are well Luc - good luck!!
