I have had the privilege to have my sister, Shannon and my other mother, Edith come and visit today! I love to see my family and visit with them. I missed seeing the girls Kennedi and Brooklyn, but want to wish them both a Happy Birthday! Aunt Niecey is sending a treat home with Shannon to give to the girls! Thanks also to my Aunt Judy for the lovely sun hat. Now I can go out and walk in the sun shine for a minute. Love you AUNT JUDY!!

I am still doing good and trying each day to get a little bit stronger. The chemo really makes you tired and fatigued. I think that is what frustrates me the most is not being able to get right back into the lifestyle that I am use to and know it will be a long road back. Patients, patients, patients. I have enjoyed my first visit to Wal-Mart and was so glad to get out of there, but it sure felt good to be apart of the regular world again. Jed and Weston have been taking great care of me and I love them so much.
Weston has even made a friend down here and spent the whole day with him and his family yesterday. They made the comment that if he was here again on Saturday they were going to give him a yellow shirt and put him on the basketball team. I am thankful for friends of my cousin and there concern for us as well. The gospel is all around us, and for that I am thankful. Not much more to report so until next time, I love you all!

I am so blessed today! I have been thinking alot about family and friends today and would like to express my love to each and everyone of you for the small and large ways that you are helping me and my family out at this very hard time in our lives. Where would we be without family, ALONE! I have the greatest family out there and it extends far and wide. I have been so blessed to have a wonderful cousin who opened her house for me and my whole family to be together, it isn't the same as Fielding, but we are a family together through this. I am very thankful for the wonderful friends that I have that give my family a break and come and take such great care of me and the needs that I have. You are all wonderful people and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have had the privilege of having Carla Zundel here with me she also brought my Weston and we have been having a great time, road trips to her old stomping grounds, meeting her sister and getting the most delicious homemade cookies ever! No cops have been called as of yet, Weston said.

Today I go in for more chemo and then if the blood and platelets are good I will be getting a week off with no chemo. I hope to get some of my energy back to enjoy a little more outside time, but know it will be a slow process. Oh how I loved to hear the birds chip outside the door last night and to feel the sun on my arm for just a minute. The things that we take for granted or just seem to get to busy to enjoy. I mostly enjoyed just hugging my son and waking up knowing he was right by me!

Well enough mush, Have a great day! Visitors are always welcome! Love to you all.

This is Geneice's smiley face Band-Aid. The radiologist gave it to Geneice because she was so good!

We are blogging from LDS Hospital today. I got to come visit Geneice today! I am showing Geneice how to upload her pictures to the blog. Fun times!

Just got some great news, Going to get to leave the hospital tomorrow afternoon early evening!! I have both mixed emotions about it, but am ready for the next phase. I will be staying with my cousin, and friends and family are still welcome to come and visit anytime and you know I would love the visits. I love each and everyone of you for the prayers in my behave and hope that you will continue to pray for me as I enter into the next phase of the chemo treatments that they say will be the toughest! Oh Happy Day!!

Bling!

Geneice had some wonderful visitors this last weekend.


Jed, of course! :) (I love this picture, by the way!)


Aunt JaDene and Shaun, Marcie and Tawnie (cousins) all came to visit. They brought Geneice a new hat with lots of "Bling!" I think Geneice looks so cute in it. I know she loved the visits.
