more and more travellin...

our week started out in the valley!

we went to sacrament meeting and then came

home to watch the broncos- steelers playoff game.

it was very slow starting!

VERY SLOW!

so slow that I fell very quick to sleep.

we had been exhausted from the past couple of days.

we woke up in time to watch the final 2 quarters and see

them take the victory.

YAHOO!

I forget how bad the playoffs stress me out.

I really kind of hate them in fact.

that night we went and visited with mom and

then headed over to megan and scotts for some yummy brownies

and ice cream.

talk about DELICOUS!

mads came home and played with grandpa tony

and grandma carilyn.

seriously this warms my heart soooo much!

 

Monday I had my infusion.
I knew it was going to be a rough day because even
before my infusion started I was completely exhausted.
once it was in and started I passed out!
eric decided to take madyn out for a little jeep ride to
make sure that I got the rest that I needed.
unfortunately with about 45 minutes left of my infusion, eric
called and said that he was stuck!
i honestly thought he was just joking with me and so i just
went along with it, getting more and more frustrated that he wasn't telling me
just kidding!..... yeah... he wasn't kidding.
luckily just as i was finishing up my dad had made it home from Denver.
so we hopped in the jeep to go rescue him, in the mean time eric had gotten
a hold of tony and he was on his way out as well.
it was a nice little ride and it felt pretty good to get out of the house.
Tuesday eric and me headed down to slc for my doctors appointment on my nose.
the appointment went good and put some of my fears at ease.
i really like my doctor and his staff.... but it was weird being in an office that
does plastic surgery and all this cosmetic stuff.
during my appointment, after he scoped my nose and everything,
he manipulated my nose and opened it up so i could see how
much better i could breathe....
i couldn't believe it.
i always knew that my left side was bad because
i can hardly even breathe out that side.
it was my right side that shocked me! i couldn't believe what i thought
was normal.... i cant wait to breathe that good.
Wednesday we were planning on heading home till
we woke up to lots of snow and closed roads....
so we took it pretty easy and just decided that it would be best
even if the roads opened up to wait till Thursday to leave.
we had a good day eating lunch with dad,
running errands and then going to take a nap.
we woke up from our nap with 5 missed calls from dad and a
text saying CALL ME!
we found out that grandpa tom had taken a turn for the worse
and his doctor said he would probably only last a few more days
at most a week.
so we took off to midway to see how he was...
he looked terrible.
he was sleeping most of the time, not really talking, eating,
and breathing really hard.
my best part of the night is when i went to hug him
i told him i loved him,
and he told me i love you too.
since he wasn't talking- i took that as a huge win.
i didn't sleep so good that night sure that he was going to pass on.
but when we got up he was still with us.
we spent most of our time right at his bedside.
his breathing was getting worse and not waking up as often
and definitely less responsive.
so you can imagine our shock when we woke up Friday morning
and he was still with us.
unfortunately we had to take off back home.
I was not ready to leave grandpa but it was time.
we had breakfast at the hub before we left heber with dad
and then took off to the valley.
madyn was a BEAR!
but when we got to the valley she was thrilled to be with
her grandma and grandpa.
the rest of the way home she did awesome, slept till Rawlins
and was as happy as can be.
it felt soooo good to be home!
madyn was beyond thrilled to play with her toys,
she even slept in her bed... the WHOLE night!
it was lovely!
Saturday we woke up and snuggled...

it's nice to have my girl back!
she wants nothing to do with me or her dad when any grandma is around.
that morning we went and shot eric's guns
up at rodger's canyon.
then we went and watched the uw-bosie game.

unfortunately we lost...
but we had a good time.
after the game we took a little drive up to happy jack.
we even saw a moose.
it was a pretty good day all in all.
