Hey it's Savanna again. My mom will probably be able to do the blog update next week. She had bounced back this week. She is eating and feeling stronger and better. Her nausea is for the most part completely controlled, so that is a GREAT thing.
Mom has decided not to continue with any treatments (radiation or chemo) for the time being and we feel that this break has really made all the difference. She still is continuing to lose weight and that is a concern but she is eating now and enjoying it. I bought BYU ice cream for my grandpa Heywood and she has enjoyed her fair share of it. :)
We are so grateful to all the visitors we've had this week. Mom's brothers all were able to fly up and spend the day with her. Dave and Tim came up on Wednesday and Tony, Jana and Larry came up yesterday. It's always fun to have them, we spend most the time laughing.
On Friday Craig and the girls came up to take Jill home. It was fun to have those girls around. They are such cuties and silly kids. It was also Craig's birthday so we enjoyed some cake and ice cream. Dad and I got to open some early graduation gifts from Jill and Mom. Its especially fun since we both got the exact same things but in different colors. His are red and mine are blue.
Yesterday was Girl's Pref for Marie. She had a blast with her friends and at the dance. She is such a social butterfly it amazes me. It's been a hoot to coach her in lacrosse and see her in a different setting. She's pretty cool!
Well next week my Mom'll be writing the blog so be sure to check it out.

So glad to hear your Mom is catching up on her strength. We hear about the treatments but can't possibly understand how brutal they are. I'm sure that part of all this process and an answer to prayer is being inspired to take breaks like she is. Prayers continue for your Mom and the Davidsons.
Jolene,
It was so great to see you and Ron walking the neighborhood tonight. What a beautiful evening. I am so happy that you are getting some of your strength back. Take it easy and remember... You are loved!
Ron, Jolene and Family,
We are amazed by your positive attitudes as you endure this trial. Keep it up. You are in our prayers.
Mark and Laura
It was so great to see you all last Saturday. I love you all very much. I was so blessed when I married into the Heywood family. You are such a dear friend and sister. I'm glad to hear you are gaining strength. I'm sure it has to do with all the ice cream you are eating! ;-)
