RONALD UPDATE:
Ronald was released from the hospital over a week ago when his
labs showed that his ANC and WBC had reached a safe level and
his kidneys were very stablized!! It had been great having him home all
together again- He still goes to Huntsman about two times a week for
platlet transfusions but they are stablizing and increasing quickly as well.
Ronald is very tired still and is having a difficult time digesting food without a pretty rough stomach ache so were praying that resolves soon so he can stop losing weight and start putting it back on as well as get the necessary nutrients he needs. 






He walked to his new office(same company but renamed and rebranded as Duke Medical Clinic) soon to open here in Marriot-Slaterville about a mile from our home, the first week of December!!

Meanwhile we are all trying to carry on family business as usual which has included the "twins" participating in some crazy school assemblies and being youth hosts for a great conference with some of their very favorites Hank Smith, John Bytheway, and Meg Johnson as well as completing Syvanna's COLLEGE applications and visiting multiple colleges to get some good feelings on her
possibiies for her educational future!! AHHHHH crazy how time has to keep moving forward... cherishing every moment with each family member has truly become more precious then just about anything!!

Ronald will have a PET scan in about 3 weeks that will give us a pretty good idea of how much the chemo and stem cell transfusion effected the cancer in his body! In the meantime we truly would appreciate all the faith, prayer and fasting that you feel to draw any tender mercies, sustaining power, instruction, direction and miracles that the Lord has reserved  and can allow for our family and Ronald during this time.

So thankful for every drop of love, mercy, and peace that continue to distill on us through the power of the Atonement of our Savior through faithfilled prayers! Sure love you!


A LITTLE SIDE NOTE:    It's pretty wonderful how much happiness, and how many smiles this darling grandson of ours brings into our days, even when things are tough!! ....Just another testament that through small and simple things( or people) Great things are brought to pass!!!
THANK YOU COLE for the joy you bing into our family!! So thankful for you!!
