You never know what twist or turn life will bring and this has been a difficult week for Justin and JayLynn. Her Crohn’s disease has certainly been a problem since having Treyson. She ended up in ICU last week after losing consciousness due a seizure. They determined that the seizures were a result of medication induced blood leakage in her brain. Her BP was really high too and then fluid started to build up in her lungs. On Saturday morning after trying to cough up mucous she heart stopped and she coded. They brought her back and Tammie made the decision to fly to Utah. JayLynn’s family has been with them all along. We have been praying and we fasted as a family on Sunday. She started improving on Sunday and has been fighting hard to come back. She is a nurse so is asking lots of questions. She and Treyson have been able to have some time together and I am certain that Justin has appreciated having his own mother with him. It is, however, Zach’s wedding next week which is adding some concern as Justin is his best man and would want to be with his brother in New Jersey on his wedding day. We are not certain how all of that will work out but JayLynn will certainly not be going and hopefully will be in a stable condition by next week. Justin’s work has given him a paid week off. Miracles are always involved - they had just moved to the bigger community of St. George, Utah with hospitals available; her brother Joel had come to be with her while Justin was at work because she had, had a really bad headache and he was with her when the first seizure hit; her cognitive capacity seems to be intact and so on. We are grateful for all those things and praying for this little family. Jack sent his love to them from Africa in his weekly audio message. Grateful for family.
I am in the process of shutting down one of our numbered companies. Tom and I have had our accountant Phil working on this for a few years and it is finally happening. I had to have Wayne find me lawyer in Alberta as it is an Alberta company. I have had to have papers notarized and yesterday I went into the bank to follow Phil’s directions for removing most of the money from the account to my account as dividends and shareholder loans. It will be good to have this settled and have one less thing to worry about. Simplifying is what I am endeavouring to do.
Ryan, my landscaper, gave me and the Chabots a quote for having turf put down in our front yards. I am ready to go ahead with the project and I hope they are okay with it too. Ryan has agreed to replace my back turf for free so I am willing to do this final project and then be grass free and landscape complete.
I gave my talk in church on Sunday and did a part in the Relief Society lesson. I have to speak in the YSA sacrament meeting in July after I get back from Zach’s wedding. Seems I give a talk once a month.
Bryson arrived home from his humanitarian FSY in Ghana and was able to drop by to see me for a short time while he waited for his ride to pick him up. He brought me an African fan.
I am grateful that the spirit and angels can bless our lives because I feel and need both and know that Tom is near and can be near the children in their needs. It brings me comfort and I hope it brings comfort to them.
