I am feeling a little sad today. I haven't feel well physically and that often affects my mood. I am also still doing research toward making my decision to start hospice or not. I had a nice visit from my brother Daniel and his daughter. They brought me some beautiful tulip bulbs, the kind that grow in water and you can see the roots at the bottom. He even brought treats, as Greg did last night. We never lack for sweets at our house!
We went shopping last night to pick up some maxi-pads to put over the spot on my abdomen that is draining. This morning I noticed it wasn't wet, so the leaking has stopped, at least for now. Thsnk you to whoever added more money to my donation account. David's income has been kind of hit and miss through his changing companies, so it is nice to know that we at least have some money to pay the medical bills. I promise that's all I will spend it on!
I have Dr. appointments tomorrow and the next day, so by the next time I write I should have a little more news for you.

Hi Emilee,
Sorry you had a sad day today but glad to hear the "leak" has stopped. We'll pray tomorrow will be a better day. I know you're doing research on a subject most dear to all of us (you) but serious topics are emotionally draining so perhaps you can squeeze in a funny dvd here for a little laughter medicine.
We love you and are thinking of you.

Emilee,
I agree with the suggestion to squeeze in time for a funny DVD. We had a great lesson in Relief Society from Elder Wirthlin's address "Come What May and Love It". One of the four things he tells us to do is LAUGH! (We also learned that laughing burns calories! Who knew?!) You have such a cute sense of humor. You must get it from your dad--I have read a few of his comments:)
I hope you are feeling better and that your appointments were helpful to you and your research. I KNOW you will make the right decision.
You are continually in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Cindy
It looks like you changed the blog theme a little bit. I like it!
When I read about the maxi-pads I thought "Uh-oh, where is this going?" It's good to see that it wasn't what I expected. :-)
Love you,
Peter
Hi Emilee,
Judy and I have been following your blog. We have been thinking about you and our prayers are with you daily. We know this is a difficult time, facing a decision such as this. We will continue our prayers on your behalf.
Love,
Aunt Judy and Uncle Steven
Good morning Emilee,
I just started on a neat keepsake project you might enjoy. I just finished reading the Book of Mormon and loved sharing it with my kids. I am reading it again, but this time, I am marking every scripture that really stands out to me. When I finish, I am going to go back and journal about each of those scriptures.
It was probably thinking of you and all you are going through that prompted me to do it this way. I was already excited about being inspired, but I realized it will also be a precious family keepsake. I have no way to know that I will be here when my boys go on missions, or to share my love for the Book of Mormon with my grandchildren. I do know that this is the one true thing that will bring them light, peace, and understanding in this life.
I don't normally write in books, but I plan to leave this copy well loved, highlighted and written in. When I go back and journal about them I will buy a nicer copy that will stay nice on a book shelf. It will be easy for them to go through and read my favorite scriptures, or to mark them in their own scriptures before they go to the MTC. Hopefully, I can find a matching journal, or have my notes in the computer bound and printed to keep with the special copy. It will be a simple way for their mothers love of the gospel to touch them even when I cannot be there directly to teach them.
You read much faster than I do. Especially if you had someone to mark the ones you want to highlight, you could finish this fun project much faster than I will. If you start with reading and marking, then go back when you finish to do journaling, then you won't find yourself half way through before you find another project you would rather do...that's why I am doing it this way anyhow.
I loved President Hickley's conference address where he said he felt like that last leaf on the tree. I am sure these days must feel that way to you now. I know that all things happen in the Lords time and that each of us is know, loved, and shepherded by Him. No matter what you decide at this time, I know it will be right for you.
Wishing you love and sunshine today. I hope your orchid is still beautiful. Know that I love you and you are always in my constant prayer. Be still and feel the love of our Lord.

Hi Emilee,
What a beautiful family you have, you are very young.

I would personally love to share some supplements with you that I have come across, if you are interested. You can email me at: rvwilson2@comcast.net, I live in West Valley City. I pray for you and your family, may God bless you, always and comfort you thru this most challenging time in your life, Hugs, Ann
Emilee,
Yesterday I was feeling sorry for myself, limping along when I saw my bulbs coming up from the wet earth. I immediately thought of you, and stopped myself from feeling discouraged. You are so much like my flowers coming up. They fight through darkness and cold to seek the sun, to grow and to flourish. You are such a great example of endurance and faith. Thank you for that. I appreciate your boys, and their sweet spirits, for their help opening doors at church and how polite they are!
I love the new look of your blog, it is beautiful, just like you. I'm next door, so holler any time of day. Anything you need, I will try my best to get it to you!xoxoxoxox

Emilee,
I have been reading your blog for sometime now but have never left a comment. I didn't want to invade your privacy. :) But I can't hold back anymore. I have to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. You are one of the most Christ-like people I have ever known. You have 3 of the most polite, and kind boys ever. You should be very proud of that, it is a reflection of your great mothering. Hang in there, never forget you and your family are in our prayers. And please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
With love,
♥ Sarah Sorensen

Emilee,
Several people have mentioned how wonderful your boys are. I want to let you know that we love each one of them and your husband David and we will look for ways to watch out for them and serve them.
You are foremost in my thoughts and in our prayers, family prayers, couple prayers, and individual prayers. I know that many prayers are offered in your behalf. Whatever comes your way, may the burden be made light so that you will not feel it on your shoulders.
You and your family have served us over the many years in many different ways and I pray that the Lord will bless you and your family for that service. You are very giving and thoughtful and it is your turn for people to be giving and thoughtful towards you and yours.
I love you very much, you are my sister (in law, but still my sister), and will always be.
Laurie
