Today was a tough day. Ry took me took me to my treatment. The Dr. "checked in" with me. My steroid has been reduced to twice a day instead of 4 times. Tammy advised that could help reduce some of my few symptoms. I am not really having any headaches any more. I was surprised by some nausea and I am wearing out pretty quickly. Reducing the steroid may help with that. I am also starting an ant-acid.
After treatment, Ry & I went to walmart for some fun shopping, We got some fun makeup and hats and scarves. The hard part was coming home to video tape. Christy came and we recorded some messages to the kids. It's hard to think about what you want to tell your kids for the rest of their lives! It was a little draining. (understatement!)

Thank you!
The mobilization of forces coming into show support for me and each other is unspeakable. I have always tried to live my life in such a way that I would have no regrets. God never promised us tomorrow. I always second guessed whether or not I was really living the way God wanted to me. Were people really being positively impacted by my life and actions? It is clear to me now that it is only the attempt to do so that God required of me and I am being very richly blessed for it now. There is no understanding of this situation to be had on this side of heaven, but there is so much to learn from it about how incredible humanity is, how enduring relationships are, what it means to really live our lives.
I lay here in bed with my littlest man snuggled between mommy and daddy snoring away and I pray you will each take a moment today to see such a beautiful site, memorize it in your heart, and replay it for ever.

NEW Ground Rules
Here are the newly modified Ground Rules for visiting the Schmidgall House:
1. Stay POSITIVE
2. Maintain as much normal as possible
3. No whispering
4. It's ok to take a break
5. Kids first, grownups last
6. This will be hard, but doable and we are strong. We can carry each other in turn. NO one has to always be the carrier and no man gets left behind.
7. Respect coping/processing of others but not in front of Lisa if possible.
