Just a quick update the hospital bed is coming today.  Chris can no longer get in and out of are bed.  It is to tall.  Also, because he can't get out of bed that also means that he will need the assistance of a catheter.  He has also spoken with the nurse about getting a morphine pump.  He is hoping that they can just put it into his port.  His whole left side is swollen.  We knew this time would come.  It just hurts:(
Last night we had a wonderful family home evening.  We went over all the questions that the Bishop might ask Katie in her interview tonight for her baptism.  Chris wanted to do it.  He did a great job.  For dessert we had strawberries "immersed" in chocolate.  The kids loved the "immersion" thing (they got to dip their own).  Chris wanted to do something nice for the bishop so we made his family a plate of them and then took them over (Chris couldn't go up the stairs so the bishop was kind enough to come to the car).  He made a card that went with it - it said "Jesus was baptized by immersion.  The chocolate dipped strawberries reminded me of immersion.  I won't let my hair stick out like the leaves of the strawberry.  I look forward to my interview for baptism.  Love, Katie"
(yep, I'm crying.  I would say that today is going to be a very emotional day).  Which will be May 31st if Chris is still alive (Rye baptize and Chris confirm).  If not it will be June 7th so that Ryan can baptize her and confirm her.  He has to wait til he graduates from high school (June 5) to become an elder. We will also do Tay's Eagle the same day (whichever day that is). 
I am so grateful to have a wonderful husband.  Two weeks in a row he has taught the fhe lesson and the spirit has been so strong during it.  Memories to hold onto forever.
Love,
Ricki
ps I forgot to tell you how Ryan ran a 5k in the cow suit last Friday night.  I was his cow handler and was suppose to "stay" with him.  Even in a cow suit he got way a head of me.  He came in at 22 minutes and I came in at 26.  Thank goodness some other chick fil a employees were there. They ended up helping him get water and take his head off. lol.  Even with atleast an extra 10 lbs and not being able to see much he did an awesome job!!
