Peyton Made it Home

Little itty bitty Peyton made it home last Thursday, and has been doing great! I even got to finally hold her. She's so tiny and precious. The York's can have visitors, but they just ask that if you are sick with any kind of illness then please don't come over until you are all better. I have a slight sore throat coming on, so that means I'm not allowed over. Bummer. Also, Summer can't leave her house unless she is going to the doctor for six months, SIX months. I'm sure she would love some phone calls because I can imagine she's going to go stir crazy!!!

One last thing...You know how I like to talk about poop - keep Peyton in your prayers that she has a BM - bowel movement. That's what Summer has asked me to pray for.

As for big brother Trace, he is finally warming up to her, and as far as I know has only hit her once the day they brought her home. Guess that's a jealous older brother for ya! ;)

This is Peyton saying, "Libby. No more pictures please."

Pray for Summer and their Baby

Summer was rushed in ambulance from the Cedar City Hospital last night around midnight to St. George's Hospital. She's had really high blood pressure and has been monitored the last two weeks, but as of last night her blood pressure was extremely high. The baby still hasn't developed fully for her to give birth, so they are keeping her in the hospital until the lungs of her baby have developed. After they are developed they can have her give birth, however the baby will be a preemie.

I hope we can use this blog as a way to put the prayers out there for her and the baby. She will be in St. George, as of now a couple of weeks, and I'm sure she would love visitors. Please pray for her and the rest of our extended family.

Also, Summer does have her cell phone, and you can reach her on that.

A 2nd Opinion

I took mom to her doctor today up here at the Utah Cancer Specialists. It was a lengthy appt with a lot of sitting around, but after looking at all of her paperwork from her previous doctor, he said...... let's have you take a break from chemo! I think that was just what she wanted to hear. He said that the chemo she has been doing worked quite well and has stopped the growth of cancer, but at this point it can't do much more for her. He wants her to take a break, go in for monthly testing and as soon as the blood tests show the cancer growing again, he is going to put her on an ORAL form of medication called Tarceva, that she only has to take once a day. It won't make her as sick or as tired and the only side effect is a rash similar to acne (which can be treated with creams). This oral medicine can give her up to four more years of life (that's the bummer part, but we already knew this cancer wasn't curable).

So, let's wish her a speedy recovery and a long time of being able to do what she wants before this cancer starts coming back!!! And KEEP PRAYING FOR HER!!!!

Just to let you know...

Most of you probably already know this but I just wanted to let you know that I've had mom move in with me for awhile. We're hoping to get her a better doctor and some better care up here in salt lake. you can get ahold of her on her cell phone.

Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

Sorry this is so late, I've been busy but here are some pictures of when Libby and I (Jessie) went up to Salt Lake and were able to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. We thank Anisa for getting us the tickets to go through. It is a beautiful temple, but really is there an ugly temple? I think not. Libby, Anisa, Logan, Sydney, and I were able to go through and enjoy the beauty and spirit in the temple. I can't wait to be able to go through more temples and see the beauty in all of them. It was really busy but a great experience.
