Pam is doing well. They again retested her blood and everything is still great. No sign of the leukemia yet. They have started looking for her a bone marrow match again. They had stopped looking when they thought she was not going to make it. She is down to 104 pounds now but she is starting to regain strength from the feeding tub. She is still having problems breathing. Still raspy. We will just hope and pray that she will continue to mend.

Tammy and Neal, we love you and wish we were there with you during this hard time. Neal, we love you and are so grateful for you love and support you show our little sister. We hope you know that we are here if you every need anything. We will be in touch.

Love always

Well Jord and Kenzie are back in the full swing of school. They seem to be doing well. Kenzie judges how school will go by how many friends she has in each of her classes.

Jord is becoming more active. He floats the canal with his buddies, starting to go to church dances, and hanging out with his friends more often. It is good to see him having fun. We recently had the neurologist run the yearly test on his brain. They said that he still has memory problems and the ability to concentrate is low but better than one year ago. So he still has to be on meds. The doctor told us this is probably as good as he will get. The first four months is the healing period. Then after that it may improve slightly but not much.

Kenzie is going to start gymnastics again in September. We hope that her ankle will be strong enough to with stand all the jarring of gym. She is going through major pain now because of her braces. She is having a hard time eating. So lots of ice cream and yogurt.

Ryker starts preschool again this fall. He is growing so fast. He has suck a big attitude. I guess that's from all the older brothers and sister. I think I have another Jordan on my hands though. Ryker insisted on clothes shopping when Jord and Kenzie were shopping for school. Not just shopping, he had to go into try the clothes on by himself. I just had to laugh.

Pam is doing well. The doctors have told the family she needs to be back into the hospital. They need to start feeding her real food and she is not eating much. They will put a tub through her nose down to her stomach to get real food into her. They also need to take the iv out of her neck and put it somewhere else. There is still no sign of the leukemia. the white blood cells, red cells, and platelets are also all normal. We went to see her yesterday and she is alert and can nod yes or no to your questions. She is breathing on her own with a slight rasping sound. They just say its not in her lungs but could be a throat problem with the breathing tub that was in her. We keep praying for her continued recovery.

Well we hope things are well for you all.

These are some of the pictures of Kenzie's trip. Looks like fun!

Great News!!!! Pam is on her way to recovery. Yesterday her doctor came to her house to check on her. Her white blood cells are normal, platelets are normal, her leukemia is in remission and she is getting water and pudding to eat. What a miracle. The doctors at the hospital in Salt Lake had told everyone that she would not make the trip to Rexburg.

She cannot talk or move her legs so they are going to treat her as if she has had a stroke. She is alert and can nod her head yes and no. They said in about one to three months they will have to start the treatment for the leukemia again. Bart, her husband, said that now she can tell us what she wants to do it will be up to her.

Thank you everyone for all your prayers. We have truly had a miracle in our presence.

We love you all.

Pam is still hanging on. Every once in a while she will open her eyes and get to look at her children. THey don't think it will be much longer.

Kenzie had a blast in Mexico. We will have to post some pictures when we get them devolped.

We love you all.

Well just to give you and update on Aunt Pam (Lynn), she is home and hospice is taking care of her. She is getting lots of visitors. We went and checked on her last night. She has the breathing tub out and is breathing on her own. She did try to open her eyes yesterday so they lifted her eye lids for her and she looked around the room and was able to look at all her children. They have stopped giving her food and water. The doctor said with the infection in her brain she should live for two to seven days. This was on Monday. We are so gratefull for the time that we have had with her. She is 45 years old. Her two youngest children are the same age as Jordan and Kenzie. Which in some odd way is very comforting to Pams kids. They are always hugging and laughing with them since this all began one month ago. Jord spent the weekend sleeping with his cousins on the hospital floor in Salt Lake Kenz went to a hotel room. Sunday I went down and was able to see Pam and talk to her. At that time she couldn't open her eyes and couldn't talk but was able to shake her head yes.

We are thankful for the lessons we have learned from all of our ordeals this past year and half. We know that Heavenly Father loves us all and is taking care of all our loved ones who have passed on.

We love you and wish you all the best.

Steph

Well Kenzie is on her way back from Mexico today. I am excited to see all her pictures. She is going to be a brown little girl. I think all they were doing was playing on the beach.

Jordan is starting to do better. He has finally stopped crying. The funeral was amazing. They knew that lots of people would be there so they had it in the stake center and it was packed. The gym and stage were standing room only. Lucie was a great friend to Jordan and Kenize. She just turned 15 three months ago. It made me cry even harder when I saw the pictures of Lucie and Kenzie together. I hope this has made Jordan think about being a safe driver. Even if you are just the passenger.

Ryker is just finishing up soccer and is excited to go on to T-Ball next year. He is getting to spend some time with his dad lately and loves to be by his side. We are finding out that he is quite the story teller. He has told people that Troy and I am quiting our jobs and moving to Idaho Falls. News to us. What kids will think of.

I better get going I am at work. We love you all.
