Still on a high!!

Wow - last night and today have been totally so different from my first chemo experience! I think I now know how it feels to be "high" on drugs. I think the steroid they gave me has kept giving all night and all day today. I stayed up helping my mom and sister on computer projects until 1:30 a.m. At first I thought it would great to always be on drugs like this. Then I decided that since I don't have an off button, I would probably end up killing myself!

I got up early this morning (feeling a little queezy and foggy headed) but not as bad as I thought. I had to go down to Provo to get a shot today to keep my white blood cells count up. So I headed off to the OBGYN first so I could be at the ultra sound of Grand Child #12. And we found out that Byron and Tracy are having a................

Michele's Current Status

Michele's cancer was first diagnosed as Ovarian Stage IIIC - but after surgery was upgraded to Stage IV. Her surgery (Oct. 3, 2011) was very extensive, as the cancer had metastasized to other areas in the abdomen. She had a radical hysterectomy, 5 1/2 inches of the bowel taken out, plus her spleen, and 2 1/2 inches of her diaphragm.

After multiple rounds of chemotherapy the Ovarian cancer returned in full force earlier in 2014. Michele's health continues to decline and on July 23, 2014 she was placed under Hospice care in the comfort of her home. Despite being near the end, she continues to inspire those around her.

I'm A Mormon!

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that Jesus is the Christ, and that he personally died for me. I know that he not only suffered for my sins, but also my pains, which means so very much to me at this point in my life. I know my Heavenly Father loves me and knows me personally. I know he has a plan for me and watches over me. I have a testimony that Joseph Smith is a true prophet and was divinely called by God to translate the Book of Mormon. I love the Book of Mormon. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. I have read it and taught it throughout my life and the more I abide by it's teachings, the happier I am. I know that we have living prophets today, just like we did in the Old Testament. I believe and honor those prophets just like I do the living ones today. I know that Thomas S. Monson is God's prophet, just like Moses and Abraham of old. He has been called to lead us in these last days before the Savior returns for a second time. I'm grateful for the knowledge that families can be together forever!
