2nd Round of Chemo is OVER!


We just finished the second round of Chemo.  Van wasn’t able to eat or drink anything for three days but tonight he was finally able to keep down some clam chowder and crackers.  We’ve worked through a lot of problems today but he seems to be improving tonight.Now we are waiting for the Chemo to leave his body before we can come home.
 I went home to help Van’s parents move in to our home permanently for the next year or so.   We cleaned out the office, closet, and bathroom to accommodate them.  We are so grateful for their help.  (They have lived with us most of the last two months.)  Whenever I need to go home a family member always comes to stay with Van.  This time my parents came from Idaho and took turns while the other one helped me at home.   We are so blessed to have two wonderful sets of parents that are more than willing to help us with anything.                                                 
I’m so excited for Sunday.  We just found the talk - Fundamental Premises of Our Faith - Talk Given by Elder Dallin H. Oaks at Harvard Law School.  We are really excited to read it together.  If you are interested just google it, it’s that easy.

  1. Oh Wendy, Remember when you told me how important it was for you to get your basement finished? I remember how you followed your prompting, not knowing WHY you had to do it, but you listened and it got done. You thought, initially, it was to rent out . . . Now Van's parents are your house guests! Aren't you so glad you listened and DID it? It is amazing (and wonderful) how the Lord carefully, specifically tells us what to do - even if we don't know why. . . and sometimes, like this time for you, you're able to understand why acting on those promptings were so important!
    Much love to you and your family.
