Movin on, again!
To read this start at the bottom first or it won't make much sense. It may not anyway. I do still have Chemo Brain.
Just about the time I think I can get myself together life just keeps on going. It has been such a long time since I have written that I don't know where to begin. So here it is "WE ALL MADE IT". Sounds crazy I know but we live the loco life. Maybe I will go backwards.
January 10, 2009
I flew home from SLC and the snow and the yuck. I had to leave my baby girls, Nataly & Sydney. Kandiss and Jeff also. It is always bittersweet when I have to leave. I miss that little family everyday of my life. This time it was even harder to leave because Syd had just come home from the hospital. See is doing well considering that her head had been cut open just a few days earlier. Wow, I stand all amazed at the love and power that consistently is displayed to me and my family. Dr's who can do brain surgery and nurses who can fix it after and Mommies who stay in a hospital chair day after day. A husband and two daughters so far away and so concerned. There was a real turning moment for Syd a couple of days after her surgery. At Primary Children's they have a play room that has toys and computers and so many other wonderful things for the patients and their siblings. Kandiss carried Syd up one floor and down the big hall with Syd half laying and half sitting in her arms trying not to hurt. It was so sad. Well this time was music therapy time, singing. I watched Syd's eyes brighten for the first time while we there singing and even when she started getting bad again she wouldn't let us leave until the last note had been played. She really started to brighten up after that. Thanks to all those who put in time to make a difference in these children's lives.

Jumped out of bed showered, packed and got ready to leave. Early morning radiation treatment. Not just one of the 33. The last treatment. Who knew it would really ever be done. A huge thanks to the radiation dept. for your kindness and gentleness and all the lotion. Today I am terrified. Syd is having a surgery on her little head, brain and neck. I haven't slept for days. Jerry takes me to the airport. I hate to fly but this time I must. I had surgery on my back four days earlier so I couldn't drive that far. Lorna picked me up at the airport and took me to the hospital. I enjoy being with her we have shared a lot of our lives together. We get to the hospital and my heart is so raw but I tried to be strong for Kandiss and Syd. They said she did well in the surgery and looked like everything was going well. Syd looked in pain. She like most children when they are in need just want their Mom. I kissed her and touched her softly when a big tear dropped on her little head. Funny but I don't remember much other than the layout of that little room and how uncomfortable the chairs are. I do remember Syd laying there on her side for hours and days. Slowly she smiled a half smile and my heart soared and I knew she was doing well. Finally, she got grumpy and it was time to move outside of the little room. I am shocked every time I think things are bad and someone next to me will make my situation seem so bearable. This happened over and over at that hospital even though I could not think of anything that could have been worse than what Sydney had and her surgery. Just when you think that life will slow down for a moment because there is something life threatening you get a call from someone who is pain and is suffering. But blessings are abundant even when you are afraid.

My radiation Dr. and his staff have come in today/Sat. and New Years Day so that I can make to SLC for Sydney's surgery. They came in both days so that I could get all my treatments. They came in only for me can you believe it? Another gift. Another blessing.
January 2, 2009
I had back surgery. I hope it starts to help.
January 1, 2009
Spent the day with family. Love those babies. All four and a fifth on the way. Wow can't believe how much I enjoy them. I love my girls also. They are wonderful people and they give me great joy.
New Years Resolution:
Never say next year will be better.
Lose judgement of others.
Serve when the opportunity comes available.
Find the opportunity to serve in small ways it makes a big difference to someone.

Were we all at my parents the Thayn's, having a great time. Dad got a phone call about the storage units and I had to take the call. I'm heading down stairs to take care of the problem and talking to the client. Then bam my feet flip out from under me and you won't believe it but I fell down the stairs again. Went to the hospital and found out I broke my tailbone. Can't do anything for that. Wow does that hurt.

Jerry worked at First Night. We, Kandiss, Jeff, Nataly, Sydney and myself went to first night until it was too cold. Came home early and went to bed about 10:30. The kids tried to stay up to see the fireworks and bang on pans. They fell asleep also.
Love having my little family together.
Christmas 2008
We spent Christmas with Kandiss, Jeff, Nataly & Sydney. It was great. Everyone seemed to have such a good time. After the opening of the gifts we got cleaned up and went to Lorna's for a great breakfast and good company. Thanks for keeping this tradition going. Merry Christmas!
Christmas Eve 2008
Jerry and I went to Gary and Kay Carters home for a traditional family gathering. This is my uncle home on my fathers side. He is no longer with us but it was so nice to see my cousins. Mont, Joe and Jane, Wade and his daughter, and Kay and her new husband were all there. I haven't seen Wade for years it was nice to see him again. I really miss my cousin Fred. I always looked forward to being with him it leaves a hole in my family without him.
Then we came home to Kandiss' house and spent the evening with them. My back was in so much pain. The kids were so cute. They get all wired up and energy sparks fly from them. I wish I could put in a glass and drink that energy drink. I always love the kids hair when you take out the hair pretties especially Syd's. She had crazy hair. It is so her.
4:30 AM Christmas Eve Morning
Crash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel down the stairs. Couldn't move for a few minutes. Jerry freaked out. He got me up and layed down for a few minutes. It didn't help. I told him to take me to the hospital. Broke my back. My T9 & T10. They gave me an IV of pain meds and I started to relax and feel a little better. Be careful with your back you only get the one. This is so crappy. I can hardly hold the kids on my lap.

Went to Wolf Creek for three days. Freezing cold. Lot's of snow. Had a great time. Stressed driving. Nat and Syd rode the sleds outside and had a ball. They enjoy everything so much. It's so fun being with them.
December 19, 2008
Went to SLC. Always enjoy going back home. Went and saw Helen. Went over to Jessie's home. It is really cute.
Tasha, Ben, Cash, Gabby, and Whitney were suppossed to go with us to spend the holidays together as a family but life just didn't work out this time. We always miss them when there not there. I would love to all be close together. Someday we get a picture with all my grandkids looking the same direction at the same time. Or maybe not.
Can't remember everything I wanted to say so maybe I will post again later.
