well we made it!!! this am he woke up and had NO breating or chest tightening problems!! SO NICE!! and he was SOOO much more relaxed and calm and not cranky or fidgity about everything-- so wonderful!!
i didnt get to bed till 1am last nite, then i got up at 7am to get things going, we got jon up and going by 8am..then we got out the door by a little before 11am..then i dropped the girls off at my friend shellie nielsons house- THANK YOU SHELLIE!!! then we raced down to the temple where ALL of his family was waiting for our arrival anxious to help..we got him out and inside the temple...we saw dave parker working at the front desk of the temple as you come in to show your recommend..it was great to see him and thank him for letting us utilize his foundation to help our family..we then watched as Mark was sealed to Jennifer today..thats the wonderful thing..in the LDS religion, we believe that marriage is not only till "death do you part" but we believe it is forver, we are sealed on earth AND in Heaven - what an awesome thing!!! what a priviledge and honor it is for me to be sealed to jon, and to know that after this life, if we continue to live righteously ..we will be together forever and in the Celestial Kingdom and that his body will be whole and he'll have no pain...
we then went outside and did all the pictures, sadly all the kids were done having their "photos" taken and so i put them all in the truck -had them change out of their pretty WHITE dresses and into their regular clothes and gave them all snacks i had brought with me for them..then they kept jon around to take more pictures which lasted another hour...he said he was tired of "always being in the front" for all the photos..that would be annoying!! poor guy..i felt so bad...
then we got him back into the car and stopped off at wendy's drive thru and headed to my parents house..we got jon on a couch and i got him comfy to fall asleep for an hour..my girls went swimming with uncle brian, jessica and melissa..becca went down for her nap at the same time..it was SO NICE!! then we all got ourselves put back in wedding attire and headed off to the hales for the open house..
the open house went great- jon visited with TONS of people and enjoyed himself..he said he didnt really have pain today all things considered! which is GREAT that he didnt have much and had NO methadone!!! i really feel that the nuerontin is what helps him with his pain..
we then finished with the open house and left at 930pm..got home a little after 10pm and got everyone into bed...the caretaker on the weekends is a big talker, so jon asked that i tell her that he just wants to go to bed, and to not talk to him, and just do what needs to be done so he can get some sleep..jon is WAY TOO NICE and would have just talked to her..so im glad he asked me to do that..i think he's done with everything and is sleeping..
well thank you for all your prayers for us this day - we did it!!
i had downloaded the pictures of the day..but i will have to post them in the morning..
