Day 4

Today Peggy Murdock took me to the Folsom office. Emma came with us and stayed till Janna came to get her she spent the day with her cousins. The morning was a little exciting. I was feeling flushed and out of breath and I had gain more wait. The dr gave me medicine to help my body let got if the fluids. (Which meant many trips to the bathroom :) ) I was wearing a red shirt which made me feel more flushed and it was thicker. Janna brought me a lighter shirt that helped. Emma was a great help. I think she liked seeing what it was like for a bit and was glad to not stay the whole time because when things settled down the drowsy drug took over and I slept.

I'm not to drink as much sodium so they gave me my meds with less saline so I was done faster. Val is excited to drink my v8 juice. Everyone is so helpful. Judy Meyer picked me up and we had lunch. I appreciate all everyone is doing I feel your strength and prayers. I know I'm not the only one with troubles know that I am, praying for you too. The gospel of Christ is so wonderful. It gives me peace and calmness to make it through these times. Love you all.

A new Adventure

I am starting a new adventure in my life. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is in my pancreas and liver. I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins.

The Unexpected

Image
On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
