Good News Tuesday

I can hardly post these...

It makes my back ache.

I know therapy hurts, but there it is written all over her face.

Additionally, I could never be in a profession where I hurt people for a living.

Like those mean nurses who give shots to little babies.

And Dentists.

And people who work at Wells Fargo...

 I've seen this face before...

She makes it when she is breathing through her nose or
sometimes through her teeth

while she is going somewhere else in her mind.

I think pain on this side of her body is a good thing but it is pain nonetheless.

 I love this face.

She is either thinking...

"I freaking hate this place" or

"Someone better get me a Quarter Pounder pronto."

We have TREMENDOUSLY, FABULOUS news to report this fine day!!!

 Dr. Richards, who used to be my parents' Bishop and then Stake President and a few other people (I am sorry that I don't know their names) have been working for the last 48 hours on Kori's treatment plan and we are pleased and proud to announce that 

SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO TO HUNTSMAN

She can have the same level of care by doctors that we know and love here in St. George. 

She can be home with her family and sleep in her own bed and that is the best medicine of all. 

And she should begin treatment within a week (we hope). 

Her new doctor is Dr. Brian Tudor and in my mom's words....

"He is an oncologist and he is great and he will be "in charge" of her treatment.  You have no idea how good it feels to have someone in charge"

What a huge relief for everyone. 

Because originally, she was going to have to go up to Salt Lake on Sunday nights and have her treatments Monday through Friday and then, if she felt good enough she could come home and see her kids on the weekend... only to start all over on Sunday again.

For Six Weeks!!

This is so much better

What a blessing.

Tender Mercies for sure.

Thank you to all involved
