This Week

Sunday I shared my testimony in church and had a few people kindly comment and offer help...with Layne being in a bit of pain. Monday I took Layne to the Acute Care Clinic at Huntsman. There was also a family that unexpectedly brought dinner to our home while we were gone. On Tuesday, we had a family discussion about what happened at the hospital the day before and what it meant. I also went to a bridal shower for my niece. Wednesday was another appointment at the hospital and Layne doing paperwork, cleaning out his desk, and saying good-bye to the crew he's worked with for the past 4.5 years. (He also made it to Young Men/youth group with the boys.) Thursday we cleaned out a couple of things and Layne's folks arrived to visit for a few days. Friday will be more appointments for the clinical trial he's doing - one of them being a scan. (He'll meet with the oncologist the beginning of next week.)

A Real Trooper

We're having our 'Layne's Still Alive Party' on Saturday even thought Layne's not feeling so great. He decided earlier in the week not to do the 5K that morning. He thought he'd at least be able to walk it. He wanted the whole family to participate together. The rest of us had already thought that it was off the schedule because we didn't have a plan and he wasn't feeling well. He still went into work yesterday (for a couple of hours) and to YM last night. He's a trooper.
