Its been quite a crazy couple of weeks with good news and bad. The boy that I talked about in my last post received a miracle. After being in the hospital on a heart and lung machine and feeding tube he is at home. It truly was a miracle and quite an experience for our ward. They made a page on face book so we could keep up with the updates and he had over 700 followers! If that doesn't say something about him and his family I don't know what does. I am so happy it was a good outcome in the end of such a horrible story.
The bad news of the last couple of weeks is about my aunt Kim. After she got her cancer removed they did tests and found that she still had it in her arm. The choices to amputate her arm from the elbow down or die. How is that even a choice? It broke my heart to hear this news and I just wanted to be closer to her so I could hug her. I know that she will figure things out and do as much as she can with one hand. I just feel so bad because after so many years of being cancer free it came back and took her arm. I am doing Relay for life again this year and it makes me want to fight harder when things like this happen. Cancer has taken way too many of my family and friends.
On my last day off I told my roommate Trish we needed to get away to the coast. It was suppose to be a beautiful day and it was. It was almost in the 60's and for the Oregon coast that is amazing weather. We went shopping to some outlet stores and just relaxed it was so nice. Sometimes you just need to do that to clear your mind for a day.
