Best hospital day ever.

Best day in the hospital ever. My grand boys called me on face time. I got to go outside and sit for awhile then a harpist was in the hall and she came to my room and played form me. It was so wonderful.



I should say why I'm here. FEVER! I had a embolism Friday at UCSF. The procedure went well they were even able to embolize more than one of the liver tumors. That is the best part :) Saturday they sent me home Saturday night late 12:30 I had a fever of 103.6. This sent us to the hospital. Yesterday my brother Gene his wife Janna and their two boys Ethan and Benjamin came by to visit. We played a game of travel scrabble which Benjamin had conveniently brought. That was so much fun.



This morning the Bishop and Jeni came by. That was wonderful of them to come. I was in a bit of pain while they were there so they helped provide a distraction.

I am so grateful for everyone's prayers they can definitely be felt. Love you all.



The only thing that would have made it better is if I could have gone home But then I wouldn't have had all these great visits. So I'll leave like it is and hope for going home tomorrow.

A new Adventure

Image
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.
