A New Day!!!

Hi to all those I love out there!!! This has been a better week. it started out a little rough as I was sick again, but we decided it was o couple of the meds I was on, and I am doing much better. I also was bummed because I thought I had to stay here another week, but I don't, so It means we can start heading home between the 18th and 20th!!! Hurray! IfI am up to it after this weeks treatments, we are flying into SLC and taking a two or three day layover to go see April and her home she just moved into.

My brother, Billy, got here Tuesday afternoon, and he is leaving tomorrow to go back to Tennessee. It has been so wonderful to see him and spend time with Sharlene and him. Today we are going to the Will Rogers Museum and out to lunch. I do another round of Chemo tonight and am starting my heavy-duty brain treatments this afternoon, so I might be out of commission here for a few more days...so he picked the perfect time to come, and he has been great medicine for my soul!!!

Thanks to all of you for your comments and emails!!! It is so special to me to know I am loved and being prayed for by so many. I cannot possibly answer all of you, but please know that I am eternally grateful to each of you!!!

This is truely a wonderful place, and I have met some beautiful people here. God, in His wisdom teaches me each day about how to love by the example of sooo many. I can't wait to be home to see my friends and family and to teach my laurel class!!! Oh, how I miss my girls!!
Love to you all!!!

Hi Edie..It is a new day and we are thinking of you. We hope that everything goes well with the treatments and that you'll be home next week feeling well. You have been so strong through all of this in spite of those few moments. Thank you for being such a great example of one who endures with faith. You are amazing! Keep up the good work and we hope to see you soon. Love, Linda, Bill and Khrysten

Here it is Friday the 13th...blah, blah, blah, and I am trying to figure out how to get out of school early! :) Have to pick up Natalie so it will be 3:15 or so. Got my office organized enough to start some genealogy work that I am now committed to doing. Charlene told me you can now do temple ready on line through Legacy so she is going to guide me via the internet to see if I can actually do it. That would be so wonderful not to go to the family center. We will see! I am so excited about your coming home. You will be unindated with people coming to visit you. We'll have to pick a number and get in line. :) You sounded good last night and I hope you continue to feel better and improve with the change in meds. Do take care of yourself. Rest as much as you can. I love you and pray daily for your ability to rise above this current challege. You are such a WOMAN!!!! Patricia

Hi Edie...what a sweet, priceless note from Alyssa. I've been thinking about you all weekend wondering how you are feeling. I, also, am wondering when you plan to be home. I hear next week around the 20th but I've also heard the end of the month. Do you know for sure? How did the brain treatments go? I attended 17th ward today with Ling as Bill and Khrysten are in Phoenix. The Plumb family ( as in Rob and Cindy) spoke on a talk by Elder Wirthlin about finding a safe harbour. The Spirit was so strong and the talks were so inspiring. I thought of you the whole time. I am so glad you are in a safe harbour and that you have such wonderful people there to care for you and serve you but I'll be glad to see you home as I really miss your smile! Hang in there, take care of yourself, and know that there are alot of us here praying for you and missing you. Love, Linda
