In response to the question, "How is Ronald doing?" the answer seems most often to be, "He's doing how you do the week after chemotherapy." Sometimes he feels good, sometimes he feels tired, sometimes downright crummy. He's had two blood transfusions, a bone marrow biopsy, a short-lived fever, and some yucky headaches. He had days he ate very little and some days he ate more than very little. He was allowed minimal visits from the outside world--only immediate family. Stephanie is with him almost all the time. She left the hospital a few times this week to spend time in the temple and to attend some events for Ryker and Syvanna. Syvanna and Ryker both came home this week with straight A's on their report cards and continue to be awesome. They attended the temple twice this week (Bountiful and Logan), Ryker taught the deacon's quorum today and Syvanna taught the Mia Maid class with her friend, Kenadie. Rylan was his sweet, wonderful, angelic self all week.
The family is preparing the house in hopes that he returns soon. He will need a germ-free environment so there has been a lot of cleaning going on throughout the house and carpet cleaners are coming in this week. This necessitated the removal of furniture from the main areas of the house. Once again, angels showed up to help and the load was lightened. Thanks to all who served in any way this week. Gratitude for all of the kindness, service, and generosity is mentioned in every single prayer. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

The awesome Cleaning Crew!!!
Look familiar? Cute brothers in the back seat driving to the hospital after church
Week III of the Sunday Dinner at the Hospital tradition. So fun that Ronald could join in.
(Doesn't he look all snappy in his Sunday go-to-church clothes and that bright blue mask?)
Watched The Saratov Approach in the suite tonight after dinner.
Quote of the week from Professor Ryker:
"That was 'glass half empty' kind of talk. We want 'glass half full"
Well said, Professor, well said :)
