After we all got over the flu Trent had about one week of feeling pretty good. We took advantage of that and headed up to Bear Lake for the weekend. Some friends of our generously offered their cottage for our use and we had a blast! Zach and Trent got to go to the Priesthood session of General Conference together for the first time. That was pretty exciting for them both. We took a bunch of family pictures, played games, watched conference, and made great food. Jonathan kept walking around saying, "I LOVE our new house Mom!" Poor, kid. He has no idea of 'our' home. Ever since he can remember we have been living with my parents. It has been wonderful but we are missing having our own home. Lately that has been difficult for us. We are ready to move on and be done with this whole mess of cancer. So, that is why I pray for patience!
Trent is always joking with the nurses and volunteers. There is a snack cart that goes through all the time and the volunteers offer us goodies. It is always the same stuff and one day Trent asked the volunteer for something he knew she did not have. We all laughed about it but about half an hour later she showed up with his request, peanut butter M&Ms. She had to go out to the vending machine to get them for him! She even brought him two bags! The fact that she would do that for him made me tear up a little. Trent jumped up and gave her a hug while I tried to wipe my tears away before anyone saw that I was crying over M&Ms! Then yesterday, while we listened to ABBA-per music request from Trent, he was joking about needing Mrs. Fields cookies on the snack cart. The nurses all chimed in and laughed about how great that would be. This morning when Debbie brought Trent his "pre-meds" he got quite a suprise. Not Mrs. Fields cookies but maybe even better....doughnuts! Kean, yesterday's nurse, had tuned into his little joke about needing cookies on the snack cart and sent over doughnuts for his snacking pleasure. We really love the nurses here. They always go out of their way to make this whole experience a little easier to handle.
