Pretty Darn Good Weekend!

Saturday morning we woke up to a couple of inches of snow.  Trent got this great idea that we should all (meaning everyone BUT him, of course) go outside and build a snowman scene.  His idea was to have two snowmen bowling.  One snowman would use the other's head for a bowling ball.  Well, that was a great idea but he was not the one doing it.  The snow was not sticking so great and it was hard to handle.

 I don't think it is very clear but we modified the "snow scene".  We ended up with one snowman using his own head for the bowling ball.  We had fun doing it and that was the point.  We tried to get a picture of us all but Jonathan was not too interested.  Who am I kidding...he has having nothing of it!

 For MOST of Saturday Trent was doing pretty well.  He had a few yucky times but overall I think it was a pretty good day.  We spent some time playing games with the kids before bedtime and although Trent said he was just going to watch, he did end up joining us and having some fun.

He didn't sleep really well last night.  The cancer sweats are killing him.  He sweats like crazy and then he is freezing cold.  However, all of his vitals are looking great and we have been able to mostly control the side effects of chemo with medication and essential oils.   We have really loved the Peppermint to help with the nausea.  It works wonders for Trent.  We continue to be amazed at the answer to our specific prayers in regard to coughing up blood.  The coughing has decreased dramatically and he has coughed up only a fraction of what he was.  Gross, I know.

Today Trent's brother and sister came from Rexburg to spend the day with him. Troy and Tracy stayed with Trent while the rest of us went to church.  They had a great time visiting and Trent was very happy they came.

Doesn't Trent look great!?

Lately Trent has really been talking with Megan about sharing her testimony in church.  He challenged her to do it today.  She finally did it!  Too bad Trent was not there to hear it but I know it meant a lot to him that she would do it for him.  Jarom was brave enough to share his testimony too.  Everyone at church was very concerned about Trent and how he is doing.  Honestly I think he is better now than he was right before chemo.  We really appreciate all the love, concern, prayers and the fasting on our behalf.  It truly makes a difference in our lives!  I really don't know how we are handling this other than to say that we are being lifted up by many, many prayers.
