what's going on...

It's been a few days so I thought I would fill everyone in on what is going on. Carolyn is doing great..."baby steps," but really starting to get her memory back. She is sleeping a little better at night and doing great with her breathing treatments/therapy. I have talked to her a couple times and this last time she seemed to be getting back to her old self. By the end of the conversation she had slowed down and I could tell that it had taken everything out of her.

This morning my Dad had surgery to break up the rest of his kidney stones so that they can start Chemo-therapy in the next couple weeks on the cancer they found 3 weeks ago. Carolyn can not be left alone so a friend came over to stay with her. We are still asking that we have no visitors because of all that is still going on between my Father and Carolyn. Please leave your posts of well wishes as my family loves to read them and it has really lifted Carolyn's spirits. She still doesn't grasp the seriousness of this illness that she has/had.

We were told last week before she left the hospital, that when she was taken to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, that they were giving her a 20% chance of survival. Carolyn beat those odds. We truly believe it is because of all the love and support through the fasting and prayers of so many of you out there. Those we know, and those we don't know. Our family can't begin to thank each and every one of you in this small world! We love you all!

Until next time-
