4th Day of Chemo





Emily started to show some signs of slowing down today (extra tired/stomach pains), but for all intents and purposes she’s still doing well. She had some friends (the Johnsons) come visit and they had fun playing with a doll house. Jill came back up to the hospital with Jacqueline and Thomas in the afternoon which allowed us to spend time together as a family. Amongst various things we did we had family scripture study and prayer. When your family is separated for a time and you come together again to talk about the gospel you realize what a blessing this is in our life. It really is something so simple but we felt today some of the great blessings that come from doing it.

Emily is excited for her aunt Debbi to come and spend the night with her and she’s also expecting a visit from her cousins and uncle (The Burhley's, and Justin) any minute now. The Jones also came to visit while on their date night and instantly cheered Emily up with a new Webkinz stuffed animal.

I am so glad that you all took the time to do that.. so many when they are going through so much change would simply let that slip by. Way to see where your strength comes from! Love you!
