I am so grateful to be a Mommy! This for me has been one of the most tender parts of this experience. I have 3 beautiful and amazing children who are quietly and not so quietly all struggling in their own way as they sense the intensity of what has been happening here the last few days. I am going to HATE leaving Emily and Andrew today but there is no sense in bringing them to SLC for this consultation. Levi will be coming with us and if we end up staying through surgery I will be having someone bring Emily and Andrew to me before I go in. The road between Idaho Falls and Salt Lake City will be well traveled by our family over these next days and weeks.
I will, however, be blessed to hug my own Mom today when we pick her up at the airport in Salt Lake tonight. She will be here with us indefinitely.
Motherhood is such a blessing no matter which way you look at it, as a mother and as a child I am so blessed and so humbled to be given so much.

We are thinking about you and praying for you! I am inspired by your strength and determination. You truly are an amazing family and you will be blessed for your faith.
I am so glad you mom is coming indefinitely. Our prayers are with you today. Travel safe, keep your chin up, and keep us all updated through this awesome blog!
I am happy to come take your photos, really. See you soon.
i don't know if you remember me, if you don't ask Gena she will remind you. i have been thinking about you so much since i read your blog. I don't know if you were aware but in the year 2000 i was diagnosed with cancer. My oldest daughter was newly married, my son was on a mission in England. My next daughter was in high school and my youngest was in 5th grade. I understand your fears even though our situations were much different. you worry about your kids and your ability to care for them. About how this will affect them. As well as your husband. then I worried about my mom worrying.
But what i want to tell you is God in in control. He is so aware of you individually. You will feel our prayers. the hardest thing i had to do is let go of control and let God drive. this will most likely be the most spiritual time in your life. As well as the most life altering.
Grasp it with both hands. Get your strength from God and those around you. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to say "I can't, i need help"
Let others testimonies be strengthened by their service for you and your family.
Contact me at anytime.

“Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Joshua 1:9
