WHO HAD ME COME INTO THE E.R. AGAIN.

WHEN HE SAW ME HE ADMITTED
ME RIGHT AWAY.

BY THEN I KNEW OUR HOPES OF
GETTING TO THE STATE TOURNEY
WERE NILL.

DR. SPACKMAN COULDN'T FIGURE
OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
BY AFTERNOON
MY ARMS WERE HURTING SO MUCH,
I COULDN'T LIFT THEM...

scott and g'lenn bloham,
darrell and mary ann roskelley,
and karen garner.

also dave and marilyn gibbons

then bishop steve and
michell gerratt came, as
well as president tracy king.

what an outpouring of love
and support!

Walt,
Gary and steve, who needed
to head back to Utah at 11 a.m.
janie and julie stayed
through the day.
julie headed back monday morning.

janie stayed till monday
evening,
then steve returned from
utah that evening.

dr. spackman was in several times, and started to say:
"I can't figure out what's
going on.
I think i'm going to have
to transfer you."




I know Heavenly Father loves me and will take care of me.
I had received a priesthood blessing on Friday from
Walt and the boys.
