Yesterday Chris had his 2nd chemo treatment. It was a long afternoon 1:30-6 pm. Chris and I played cards (I won both times:), talked with our friend from the cruise, Chris took a nap and I read Helping Your Children Cope with Your Cancer-light reading, hee hee. Chris' next chemo is June 3rd. We meet with Dr. Whizenant and we will meet with the social worker to set up hospice counseling for our family. Boy, do we need it. I have been overwhelmed this week by the kids emotions. Each acting out in a different way. Jacob is always getting hurt and even though it's very minor he acts as though he broke a body part. Taylor cries over very small things that usually he wouldn't cry over. Meg continues to go to the Temple twice a week but doesn't want to talk about it- I say something and she shuts me down. Rye is taking it out on others so that gets him in big trouble. Katie screams and cries a lot especially if I leave her. And they all seem to want me at the same time. Last night after we read scriptures I told them that I wanted to make sure that they knew that after daddy dies that we will still have this home, food on the table and clothes on our backs. I explained about Social Security and Life Insurance and how daddy has helped prepare us. I was reading in that book that, that is a very scary thing for kids, and our situation does look scary - I don't work. How do you pay bills? They all know that daddy makes the money and I sit around and watch TV and eat bon bons:) I didn't say anything about medical insurance. They don't need to worry about that. I have faith that this will all work out. I had paperwork sent to us this week so that we can put things in my name. Chris looked at his Life Insurance policy and found that you can take out half of the money before he dies (have to have letter from doctor of course). He wants to do that so that he can pay off the house and then use the rest to go places this summer. I believe that it will give him a sense of peace if he knows that he is leaving us totally debt free.
I went and had a physical this week. I told the doctor that if there was anything wrong with me that he was to "lie and tell me I was fine." I am lucky enough to have a sinus infection. Kind of ironic after me telling everyone else that "we can't get sick" that I end up sick.
Last night we went to a store (won't name names) to go birthday present shopping for Katie. I took my video camera in and was filming the whole thing when a manager came up and told me that "if I didn't stop filming he would take my camera" (Ohhh you messed with the wrong woman!!!) I told him why I was filming he told me to stop because it was store policy. Now did I listen - HECK NO!!! I was ready to pull the lawyer/media card. Media would love a story like that:) My heart was pounding the whole time so going bday shopping for me turned out to be more stressful than anticipated. The older kids were unhappy because Katie walked out of the store with a lot of bday presents. Than we went and got a chocolate milkshake - Chris was craving one:) I hope he isn't to sick and tired for tonight or tomorrow. We're keeping him kind of busy this weekend. Hope to see ya tomorrow.
Love, Ricki
