A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Lynn

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Lynn

Oct 12, 2015

I received a message from Lynn on my phone, he is at the Hospital in Tooele, getting his blood checked.
He informed me that he would get only one red blood transfusion today. I am surprised! I thought for sure he would have been given at least two red blood transfusions and one of platelets.
at this rate he may not make it very long. (maybe not four weeks???)

This week I also had a problem with the Sciatic nerve again. Brother Grua drove Lynn and I to Dr Garg at his Murray office. I received the shots in my back. I also received a Priesthood blessing from Lynn and Bro Grua, to help with the meds I had received, as I was still in pain.
Lynn wanted to give me a blessing saying "that It was something he could still do, to give a Priesthood Blessing, representing the Lord." I very much appreciated the blessing.

Today is Oct 18. Lynn is in Huntsman with pneumonia. Bro Grua drove him friday night. Today they moved him from ICU to the 4th floor. Yesterday Dr. Deineger called for a family meeting in Lynns room. Pauli, David, Jodie and Will came, also Bro and Sister Grua came.

Dr. Deineger wanted to discuss that it was time for Hopuss coming to the home. It seemed the only one who objected was Lynn. I have the feeling from the Dr. that there is not much time left.

This morning, A Jr. Doctor, "WANT A BE" (my term) scared Lynn by telling him that his kidneys were in the process of failing, and his heart also....and his lungs were worse. And having transfusions would do no good, that when his time has come, it comes and there is nothing he can do about it.

Lynn was very angry with her... and wanted to go home the next day. I told him to call Clarisa, Dr. Deineger's nurse and talk to her about where his body is at right now.

I have to make calls and find out about Hospus tomorrow.
