Happy Easter

Today was out patient chemo at the U of U hospital in Daybreak. Mom told us that dad was able to lay on an available recliner and the nurse covered him up with a hot blanket and he took a nap. When he woke up she said they gave him a cookie. My mom said that today it didn't take very long and it was very enjoyable. After that appointment they went to Chad's office for chiropractic and acupuncture treatment. 

The kids had early out and wanted to see Grandma. My dad brought my mom to my house (Missy) and we were able to have lunch and decorate Easter eggs with Charleen and her kids.

Life for our parents is busy with doctor appointments and all the other life stuff. Sometimes we are able to manage and sometimes it is overwhelming. But we always have one another to give us support. Jason said something when this all first started that has made me laugh. "We stick together as a family and you (cancer) may be able to take us down but on the way we will "kick you in the balls". Picture our family sitting around a table in a meeting room at Huntsman seriously talking about treatment options. Then Jason says "kick you in the balls" and watching my mom bust up laughing. That is something I never want to forget.

We are looking forward to conference weekend and Easter dinner together as a family. Mom goes into the hospital next Tuesday to begin cycle 2. She has done great going through the first cycle and we hope and pray that will continue through the next four. 

Today was a great day!
