The Hospital

The picture below is of Dad and Mom with all of the kids (except matt and Elder Wright) in the ICU at Murray Hospital.
Mom was diagnosed with PCP a type of pneumonia that is very rare and very difficult to treat. The treatment that they would normally use mom is actually allergic too. On top of having the pneumonia, mom's cancer has spread, her lung collapsed, she had a feeding tube in, can't walk, has multiple pulmonary embolisms and that is just the begining of the list. I was talking with one of her nurses, Larry, and he told me that mom is a fighter and she is an incredible woman. Right on both counts. She is Incredible.
Our Super cute pirates. Sister Sherri Peterson brought some scarves for mom to wear. Mom wanted to learn how to wear them so we were practicing. Of course we could not leave out Dad and Caleb. They wanted to be pirates. Notice Calebs eye.
Mom and Caleb
Children are not allowed in the ICU unless they are 14 and older. Caleb was able to squeak in. Mom was so happy to see one of her grandbabies at least. Caleb held her hand and told her jokes and rubbed her arm. He cried as he talked to her and told her how much he loved her. Lets just say that he was not the only one in the room that was crying.
Caleb has a tender and pure heart and is so close to the spirit. His faith and testimony are incredible especially for such a young boy. He reminds me of the prophet joseph.
Caleb is and incredible blessing to all who come to know him.
We love you Caleb

We are happy to report that Mom is looking much better, has the feeding tube out, is down to 4 liters of oxygen and has been moved to another hospital.
(still has several challenges but she keeps on fighting)
Miracles happen.
We are surrounded by tender mercies daily.
The Church is True!
