Thank you to everyone who has been praying for our daughter Chiara for the past few weeks. After a harrowing experience fighting a serious infection in-hospital for nine days and then two+ additional weeks of daily follow-up treatment, she is healed and fully recovered. We are so grateful to her amazing medical team in Florence and to all of you for holding us in prayer from all over the world. We could feel the love! I am now back in New York, and Chiara is already on the move to Santorini, Greece, and Amsterdam for long-planned spring break trips she was not so sure she’d get to take just a week ago.
P.S. The photo was taken from the Basilica of San Miniato many, many steps above the central city of Florence. A beautiful and peaceful spot, if you ever get the chance to make the hike. (Photo copyright Mary DeTurris Poust)
