Yesterday, was a crazy day.  From 2:30 to 9:00 different people kept coming through the house.  We had the nurse three times come.  She checked his pump.  Then came back to adjust the new amount to what the doctor decided.  And then she brought (it's hard to say or type...) depends, sheet protectors, gloves, bed pan, urinal, and a catheter.  We also got a tall toilet seat with handle bars on the side.  We had two delivers of different meds.  Which came because the pharmacy didn't get the word that Chris was no longer going to take ANY pills orally (steroid, lorazapam, sleeping pills etc).  they hurt his stomach to much.  No more lovenox shots.  The right side of his chest is swollen.  Yesterday, he only had a yogurt and water.  He is only drinking water because his mouth is dry.  Today, he has eaten nothing.  He says that he's not hungry and that he isn't going to eat anything ever again.  He would like to go.  He said that tomorrow is his last "hip hip hooray" 
Tomorrow, Chris wants to just say the first ordinance part and then grandpa Wach will finish with the blessing. 
I found out from a "little bird" that Ryan's papers are somewhere in the mail system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The call has been issued.  Just maybe tomorrow!!  Wouldn't that just be crazy to get tomorrow???!!!  Two amazing, wonderful things happening and so many of you to be there to share it with (then you only have to come my way once - lol)  Don't worry will get it on here as fast as we can.  It might just be a one-liner until I have time to write more:)  Check face book also if you are one of my friends. 

This morning (4:30am-5:40) Chris and I hung out.  He had gone to use the restroom before but gotten hurt on the way back to bed.  I came in to check on him.  He was in tons of pain and just wanted me to hold his hand (after I warmed it up:) I always have cold hands).  I asked him if he wanted to hear Meg's email.  He of course said "yes"  I read him Meg's and then 4 other missionaries that we receive emails from.  Even though it was early.  It was very nice just to spend time with him. 
I'm not sure what happened to the social worker last night.  She never showed up.  Making me a little cranky because I had stressed about dessert, preparing a lesson because Chris didn't feel well enough to do it and if I had known that she wasn't coming I could have taken Katie to the party store to get her bday invitations etc.  Chris hasn't done the books and I'm pretty sure that he isn't going to get them done:(  Oh, well. 

At 6:20 am the phone rings in the kitchen.  It's Chris:)  Rye had left his phone in the bedroom with Chris and the alarm for him to get up had gone off.  Chris had tried to call and text me on my cell phone but it was on silence. lol. so he did the next best thing to wake me up hee, hee.  Call the house phone.  It woke me right up:)  so, as you can see it has already been an exciting day.  I really need to go and get a Dr. Pepper from Maverick - where they have the best cubed ice:):)
Tonight, Ma and Pa Wach arrive, the boys have scouts and haircuts for everyone!!
Tomorrow, is of course Katie's bday.  She drew me a picture of how she wanted the outside of the house decorated for her bday!!:)  We have a tradition that on your bday you get lunch from anywhere brought to you at school (I'm thinking Chick fil A - lol).  I'm not sure what I was thinking but Jacob has an appointment with the foot doctor at 1:30 tomorrow.  His big toe has been really hurting him and the big toe that had its toenail ripped off last year (by a treadmill) is growing back all bumpy and gross.  Who knows maybe they will rip it off again! ahhh.  Don't forget if your bday is in May go to the Chick fil A in Jordan Landing (and bring some proof) and receive a free combo meal.  That's what we're doing for dinner tomorrow night:)
Love, Ricki

Tell Chris to find my Lucey when he gets there. Tell him to smother her with kisses for me.

This time is so hard. Part of me wishes it would speed up so his pain will be over, but another part of me wishes it would freeze so you would have more time.

I'm grateful for you both and your faith. You bless us all.

Thank you for posting, Ricki. I check every day for news. I know Chris's time is very close, but I felt he would wait until after Katie is Baptized, Ryan receives his call and he celebrates his and Katie's birthdays the best he can. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers always...every day. We love you both, and your beautiful children, too. XOXOOXOXO

Jeanette said it perfectly... hard to know whether time should freeze or speed up. My thoughts are with you today with baptism and birthdays and hopefully a mission call all in one day. You are amazing - Love you guys so much!
