It's been a good little break for Dick from chemo but it's time to get at it again.
After Vos's memorial, the children's play, and Easter, we spent the night at Richie's again.
We had a snow storm during the night.
When we woke up, there was a lot of snow in Logan but the roads were very drivable.
We're in Salt Lake City now.
Cycle 4, here he comes!

Cycle 4, here he comes!
The medical assistant just came into Dick's room to check his blood sugar. He told the nurse, "I'm guessing it'll be 315." She said, "It's 316!"
That was pretty AMAZING! I'm impressed!!!
By the way. The steroids they give him before the chemo cause it to go sky high.
Snow day for Aubrey and Deacon in Burley. I bet Aubrey is loving not having to go to go to school. Deacon is probably not too happy. HAPPY SNOW DAY CASSIA COUNTY!!!
Snow Day in March!
Aubrey sent me a picture of her car and the snow in Burley.
It's been a very heavy snow in Burley and has caused a lot of damage.
Look at our evergreens!

Yesterday he saw the oncologist and she decided to decrease the chemo dosage again since he's been needing so many blood transfusions and his platelets have been remaining so low. He was admitted yesterday for a 24 hour infusion and was discharged today around 5 pm. He tolerated it well. We are in the hotel now. Immunotherapy tomorrow and then we head home. Now we pray that he remains strong and doesn't become so ill like he did for the first 3 cycles. He's amazing! CTScans in 3 weeks.

Giselle, Anson, and Brandon came to spend the morning and afternoon with us.
Giselle took us to an awesome restaurant for breakfast.
She always finds the best places!
After breakfast we drove to the Huntsman for Dad's immunotherapy.
We had some fun help.
Two very special young men brought us home. Dick is feeling great so far! #HomeSweetHome
I leave Utah with a heavy heart because really... she's just a little girl who grew up. No matter how old my children get they'll always be MY babies. I'm suppose to hold them up when they can't stand, right!?! My sweet girl, Giselle went to see an endocrinologist in SLC after she spent the morning and afternoon with us.
So she calls me in tears on our way back to Idaho. They'll be running more tests but they're pretty sure she has Graves' Disease. Knowing she needs a thyroid scan and update, that she needs to swallow radioactive iodine, and that she needs a thyroid ablation scares me to death. She's so blessed that they're finding out all of this before other serious issues developed. Lately she's been feeling her heart pounding and most of the time her heart rate has been in the 140's. She's been put on a heart medication already to slow her heart down. It makes me sad that she's going through all of this but I'm so grateful she found a good doctor to help her start feeling better.
I love you Giselle and we're with you my darling girl. You can count on us ALWAYS being with you for any procedures you'll be facing and more
