Two weeks ago.....

Sorry I have been so busy I haven't had time to blog. Okay so Josh's last treatment we decided to try something new. He had acupuncture done before his treatment to see if it would work to help him not throw up during treatment. Well it didn't work. This one was the worst one he has had. He threw up right before his treatment and then he threw up during his push stuff. He was throwing up so hard his entire head had turned a bright red. He said that the acupuncture helped him to be a little more relaxed but that was it. So maybe relaxed isn't the best thing for that. I think it
made him too loose. So this next treatment (tomorrow) we are trying something different. Our home teachers came over tonight and gave him a blessing. The dr gave him something that is supposed to make the opening in your stomach harder to open therefor harder to throw up. Lets all cross our fingers that this one works. I don't think I can handle watching him go through that again. Thanks again for all of your support, we couldn't get through this alone.

Some good news and not so good news

So we met with the Dr. yesterday to go over the results from his PET Scan. Well the good news first is the cancer is gone!!!!!! HURRAY!!! We will have a big party when he is done with treatment. The bad news is they found another spot. They don't know if it is cancer or not. So Josh will have his now 3 more Chemo treatments and then will go in for another scan to see if the spot is still there. After his treatment two treatments ago, he had a spot under his left arm that was hurting him. It lasted for about 3 weeks or so. That is the spot they found. It isn't hurting him anymore so the Dr. isn't too worried but we still need to be cautious. So we all need to pray that it isn't more cancer!!! I don't think we can go through this all over again. I am not as strong as you Britt and Steven!!!!
Well as I promised here is a little about the girls. So last weekend while the boys were on there camping trip Aunt Heidi and I took the girls to the zoo. They had so much fun. It was Jordyn's first time to go and she loved the Elephants. She kept wanting to go back and look at them. Grandma Lisa bought us a year family pass to the zoo and hopefully we will be able to get some good use out of it. The girls are growing up so fast. Here are some cute pics of them.
Thanks again for everyones support. We love you!!!
