We are taking this challenge one day at a time. Margo had another CT scan this AM which evidently wasn’t too bad (easy for me to say); except for the chocolate Barium? drink that she had to take every 30 minutes prior to the 7:00 AM scan appointment and the indigestion and upset stomach that it caused. Yesterday (Sunday) Margo said that Saturday was not a good day. I don’t know how anyone could have told that it was not a good day as Margo’s smile and sunny disposition always belie what she may be feeling inside. We had our SLC office staff Christmas brunch in the morning and in the evening traveled south over treacherous roads to attend our granddaughter Ryen’s dance recital. Afterwards we had dinner with our daughter Jacki and her husband and family (including Ryen). Sunday was a great day mostly because it seemed as if none of this is real. Gratefully, Margo has still not had any symptoms; which makes her diagnosis all the more unbelievable. If there were any way that I could stand in as proxy and go through this chemo in her place, I would do it in a heartbeat to spare her the anguish and discomfort. We did get an email from Jessica in England, which was an unexpected surprise. We had understood that she would not have internet access in the Missionary Training Center in Preston; but evidently we misunderstood or something has changed. She sounds good and seems to be adjusting and happy (which is a great blessing). As we contemplate how dependent we are on Heavenly Father, it is indeed true that each breath we draw is a gift. I find myself holding Margo and my family a little tighter and savoring, even more than before, the time we spend together. A life altering challenge like this has a way of distilling in your mind what is truly important in life.
