We have been able to find some fun things to do during our Spring Break. Saturday, Van went and watched the girls play tennis. Usually he is right out there with them and I had to give them strict orders to not let him hit a ball. So he watched and critiqued. We rented quite a few movies from our neighbor (for free) and we've played "Movie Theater". It is where we pop popcorn, make drinks and treats and watch shows together as a family. We went to Provo to see our oldest daughter and her husband. They took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum on BYU campus; we had a wonderful dinner and family night together. A fantastic brother in our ward, videotaped Megan (our 16 year old) performing at her first ballroom dance concert last week. We’ve been watching that and loving it.
Van went to the hospital today for labs and he is doing so well they couldn’t believe it and sent us home. He has very little nausea or pain these days. He should have a great two weeks. Today, they moved his transplant up two days because of the donor’s schedule which inadvertently means he isn’t backing out. So now he starts pre-transplant on Monday, April 19th. We can’t wait! We are so excited to see the Lord’s hand work in our lives again! A friend brought this quote to our attention: President Boyd K. Packer said, “If you are helpless, he is not. If you are lost, he is not. If you don’t know what to do next, he knows. It would take a miracle, you say? Well, if it takes a miracle, why not?” We fully expect miracles in our lives. With everyone’s faith and prayers they will happen.
