Okay, I am now feeling up to posting about our fabulous day, last Friday. We started the day with radiation. We had a little bit of time between radiation and chemo to stop by labor and delivery (my previous "place of employment") because the lovely ladies there had 11 frozen dinners for our family to take home. We were greeted by beautiful girls and cupcakes! We chatted for a bit and took some pictures and then we were off to chemo. My friend Heather, a huge BYU fan, set up a surprise visit for Spencer and Nate with Coach Wittingham, Morgan Scalley, and Brian Johnson from the Utes undefeated football teams. Heather has an awesome blog all about it HERE. Please read her post it is awesome! She is also the fabulous photographer and put together the super cute collage! The boys were so excited! Like kids in a candy store. Coach Wittingham was so incredibly nice and Scalley and Brian made him feel like he was their buddy. They gave him a signed football and invited him to practice. It was an awesome surprise! THANK YOU HEATHER WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH! We went into chemo feeling pretty good! After chemo we headed home because Spencer's "bestest" friend in the whole world was coming over that evening. Gabe and Spence have been best buddies since they were born and we don't get to see him very often. Gabe and Sophia (his sister, who is Belle's BFF) are just the sweetest friends in the whole universe. Their mom, Rachel, and I have been friends since we were little girls and it has been fun to have our kids grow up together and love eachother so much. There is a special bond there. They came bearing gifts. Gabe made Spence THE most awesome pillowcase and put together a cool photo album of them throughout their seven almost eight years. He also got him another Ben 10 lego! Belle got some Polly Pockets (I feel a new collection coming on, and I got some beautiful tulips and Dr. Pepper! Sophia and Isabelle started right where they left off. It's like they saw eachother yesterday. Sweet kids. We ate pizza, drank rootbeer, and watched a movie. Spencer, unfortunately, was not feeling so great and wanted to go sleep. We had a fabulous day and we are so thankful for all of our friends who helped make that possible!
This is SOOO awesome! What an amazing experience for Spencer. Holly you did a fabulous job on the pics.
ReplyDeleteI was so touched by this story that it brought me to tears. We are praying for Spencer and your family and love that so many people are rallying around you supporting and lifting and carrying when it is too hard for you to do on your own. It is hard for me to read your blog without aching for this sweet boy and hope that my son will turn out to be as faithful and strong as your little guy. I can't wait to wrap my arms around you and spencer on Saturday.
