When Kimball's Mom returned from her 18 month mission to Germany, she found out that she had Cancer. She had been feeling ill for several weeks and thought she had a flu or something. We are so lucky that unforseen circumstances arose so that she was sent home a few weeks early from her mission. If she had stayed longer, she might not have been able to endure the long flight home. Upon arriving home, she soon found out that the headaches and dizzinesss were caused by a fast growing cancer in her lungs that had spread to her brain, and to her bones. She has been receiving treatment in Arizona with an experimental drug while living with Kimball's sister and has responded well. When she came out for a visit at Christmas time, she came down with pancreatitis. She has spent the last month here in the hospital. Although she missed her flight to spend time in Hawaii with family, it has been a nice opportunity for the kids to spend some time with her while she has been recuperating. My older children have enjoyed playing phase 10 with her and her friend Janice. Angelina was born just after Grandma returned from her mission. This is one of the few pictures that we have of her with Grandma. She loves visiting with Grandma in her hospital bed.

How is Kimball's mom doing? She looks in good spirits in the picture.Does she wear any scarfs or wigs? It's real different seeing her without hair.
She has several wigs, but she chose not to wear them while in the hospital. I think they were too much of a bother. She is going to be released tomorrow. She is in good spirits and she seems strong.
