Little sister

So, it's been super crazy lately! About two months ago my little sister got really sick and she had a fever of 104 and she wasn't feeling good so my mom and i took her to a quick care and they said she had a "sinus" infection...so, they gave her some meds for this sinus infection.... well it never went away and she was staying the same. My grandpa came down to visit and help in a blessing and said if you don't feel better by Monday i want to take you to my doctor. well Monday came around and she was feeling the same... so my grandpa made an appointment to see his doctor.. well the doctor said she had a bad sinus infection in her nose and gave her some meds and sent her home... well the meds didn't work and she went in for a follow up, and he said that it was weird.. well kolby started to develop a pain in her rib cage and it got so bad that we'd have to help her out of bed, or from whenever she was laying down. so she went in to see the doctor again and they did some blood work and said come back in a couple days... well this happened a couple times where they would run some tests and say come back in a couple days... well the last time she went into the doctors they said she was getting worse and they couldn't play the"couple days" game anymore that she needed to be admitted into the hospital. So, they admitted her to sunrise hospital... they didn't have many patients so they stuck her in ICU for a few days. which the nurses were really nice letting lots of people in the room since we didn't really NEED the ICU.. well they did a bone marrow and couldn't find anything wrong, and they pulled some more bone out and that's when they said the found "suspicious" cells.. the let the bone marrow sit in a incubator and it ended up coming up positive for the same suspicious cells..the also removed a lymph node from her neck and when they cut it open... guess what they found?? They found Cancer in the lymph node.. well they diagnosed her with non Hodgkin's lymphoma and its very aggressive! She started chemo finally, after being a complete mystery for 2 weeks in the hospital, they finally figured out what was wrong with her.. Its sad that she has cancer but i'm so thankful that they figured SOMETHING out so that they could start treating her! She will have chem treatments for 11 months, almost a year. she has already responded well to the first treatment.. well enough that she hasn't had a fever in 2 days and she her back pain is manageable! i'm so glad that she is at home now and and not in the hospital. she will be able to get more rest while being at home, and not woken up every few hours from the nurses! although we DID have a great team of doctors and nurses working with kolby! i'm just so grateful for the gospel, i really have no idea where my family or i would be without the gospel in our lives with the trials we face! i love you kolby!!

Kids Pulling Weeds?!

So, Its Sunday morning, and i'm in my bedroom waiting to get into the shower for church. I'm checking out facebook and looking at other blogs when i hear the doorbell ring. Usually when i hear the doorbell its always my next door neighboor kids saying "our soccer ball is in your backyard" so i'm constantly throwing their ball back over, almost on a daily basis! Well, this time was different.. Let me tell ya, these kids are around 5 years old and they knocked on the door saying " CAN WE PULL YOUR WEEDS?" In my mind, i'm thinking, uhh okay your five years old, WHATS THE TRICK?! i repeated them... "uh, did you say you wanted to pull my weeds?!" they said " YEA, FOR 3 DOLLARS?" haha, its unheard of for a 5 year old to be knocking around their neighbors doors asking if they could pull their weeds. i WONDER who gave them THAT idea....Just thought it was funny, i had to share since my husband is still sleeping =]
