you feel my pain!!

Well the ant guy came...the family from my ward moved ALL my pantry out and here it now sit and will so for the next 7-10 days...because the ants will come back AGAIN and then they will die...so i figured why put everything back just to pull it out again..oh well..such is life!!!
jons doing well...he is up in his electric chair working like CRAZY with his dad trying to finish up this magazine..Todd- need that flow sheet if you have it..
kristi stopped by on her way down from utah - she was amazed at his progress!!! its like a newborn and every couple months you see it- its TOTALLY changed- jons the same way...
the tile in the upstairs bathroom is NOW DONE!! YA!!!!

some of you are asking how on earth we plan to get jon on a cruise..we'll were just gonna do it- no need to sit at home and think about all this---thats why we've been working so hard on finding the right medications for him...were SUPER close now..so we feel he'll be okay..we have a RN coming with us- there will be doctor on board..so were not too nervous...the trip was planned and paid for before he got hurt..so were just gonna go for it..he may just end up in his cabin most of the time..but thats okay..it will be good for him to be with his family..that may surprise some of you-- but pray it works out...yes he requires full time care, but we have a full time nurse coming and 31 family members- i think he'll be okay...his pain levels have been at a constant 5 or 6...so we'll just work with what we have..its not a 0 but its WAY better then a 9 or 10 at this point..and nope- no cruise restrictions, weve been in contact with them, we already switched our cabin to a wheelchair cabin with the nurse in the very next room, you dont need a doctor's clearance to go on a cruise- its up to the patient- if he's up for it- go for it- which is what the doctor told us- it would be good for jons mentalness for him to realize life goes on and he's not stuck at home while everyone else is having fun and going on with life -

well becca got woken up from her nap today- and anna went to bed late due to rachel and got up early due to rachel - so we just finished dinner and now im going to go try to put them in the tub and into bed for the nite..then i'll work on the older two girls..then i have to go to walgreens AGAIN for more medication drop offs and pick ups...i feel like walgreens is my second home!

thank you to those that bring dinner!!! Whitney - thanks!! im sorry that im never able to really thank those that come bring us food each nite..its SUCH a crazy time right then - kids in and out of the house- jon needing to be cath'd- trying to set the table..anyway -im sorry if i cant say thank you enough - but were SOOOO very grateful!!! i promise to make it up to you- everyone that has helped!!!!

I think it is great that you are still going on your cruise. You are a family and that is what families do. They stick together! And what a great example for your girls. I hope you get the medication right before the trip. I hope his pain can at least be down lower and that he can go to the bathroom and relieve that pressure.
