Today Henry is doing a little worse, but not worse than the doctors expected. His chest xray shows a lot of gunk and it will just take time to clean out. The missionaries came today to give Henry a blessing and they gave me one as well. How blessed we are to have the power of the priesthood on the earth! Truely it is the power of God, young men from different parts of the world, who have no idea who we are or much less what we have gone through, can lay their hands on our head and bless us with the things we most need. Answers I have been searching for, for over six months came through these two missionaries. The Lord knows us and our needs every minute of every day! I have such a sweet peace, and understanding of my responsibility as a mother, to care for my child. And an understanding that there is a purpose for everything we endure, and we don't always recognize it right away, but when we look back we see why and how it prepared us for something later in life.

We sent Elizabeth to Mandy's house to play for the day. I think she was getting a bit bored with the hospital and she really loves seeing Mandy and Finley. It has been a nice break for the day. I can actually relax and not worry about what she's breaking or getting into, although I'm hoping Mandy isn't going crazy. :)

Joel just called and said he was in Fred Meyers buying plus size pantyhose! hahahahhahahhaha What a sight. He claims it's because the mountain in Alaska is spewing ash so he wants to put it over the airfilter in the Durango. The Doctors laughed pretty hard. Thanks for the entertainment Joel. Love you!

Mom asked the Doctors today how concerned she should be... :) On a scale you know how anxious should we be. They said we shouldn't be too worried. If he got to the point where he was having a harder time breathing, they would put him into ICU and probably use other methods of providing his body with oxygen. So for now, although he sounds so pathetic when he coughs and seems to be in pain, he's hangin in there. He sat so still and quiet for the missionaries when they gave him a blessing and after it was over he opened his eyes and looked at the missionaries and then went back to sleep. As much crud as he's going through he still entertains us and is as cute as ever!

Love to all our friends and family, thank you for all the prayers.
