He e came around and shook hands Sunday morning. Ray mentioned that Keagan had his mission call. He chatted with Keagan a couple of minutes and pointed to his beard and asked him if he was milking it...
Earlier this week we were able to go to the temple with the youth. It was stake temple day for the youth. Each ward was assigned a time. We had the 3:00 time. The temple president told us we set a new bar - record for youth baptisms that day. 1200, the precious record was from last year when Lacey stake went.. 1000. In our ward, we only had one Laurel be able to go, so for the majority of the time I got to hand out towels when they came out. That is one of my favorite jobs. I get to see their facial expressions and be right there. There were a couple of brothers that got to baptize their sisters. That was very sweet. And one funny.. one of the boys baptized for a Daniel Boone and he almost started giggling. I love the spirit of the temple.
My mom has been sick lately. Last week she was in the hospital for a couple of days and this week she had to go back. For a few years she has had problems with her blood. Her red cells have a hard time replenishing. What has happened in the past is that she gets run down, sick with a cold and then ends up needling a blood transfusion. She has been to many doctor appointments and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. She got frustrated and gave up because she was tired of all the appointments and run around. It was a couple of years ago that she was last really sick and in the hospital with a blood transfusion. This time has been a lot worse.
A normal person has 12-14 (I don’t the measurement) of hemoglobin in their blood. She only had 4 when she went into the hospital. She had to have 3 units of blood. She got up to a 9 and they let her go home. The next week she still wasn’t feeling well and went to a dr appointment and they sent her back to the hospital because it went back down to a 6, it had to be at least a 7 for her not be in the hospital. She ended up with 3 more units at her 2nd stay.
They have some more appointments set up for her next week to try to figure this out.
It kind of acts like Leukemia, but doesn’t have all the characteristics. It’s been sad watching her be so weak and in the hospital. Hopefully we’ll get some answers soon. And be able to get her well. Please pray for her.
Tonight we also had the Erickson family come visit us. They’re here on vacation. It was such a fun visit. We really miss them. He just got called as bishop again in his new ward last week. :)
Love you all,
Sis Shoop
