Chemo baby.
 
 
The x-ray machine. When you're not allowed to leave your room they bring everything to you.






This is the result when you gain 15 lbs in one week. Thank you chemo for giving me this wonderful side effect. I promise I'm not pushing out. That belly is hard as a rock unfortunately. You can use your imagination as to why haha. And yes, it is as painful and uncomfortable as it looks!

All Dogs Go Heaven.
Especially this little guy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
On Friday Trump was diagnosed with a liver failure. He had hours maybe a day or two to live.

 Everyone who knew Trump also knew that he ruled the park so to speak.. That's what he thought anyway! Hah and sometimes I would believe it when I would take him to the park with me and people I didn't even know would say hi to him! He definitely had more friends than me. But most importantly Trump was always your friend. To Everyone.
 
 
 
I am sure some of you would beg to differ but Trump ultimately was the best dog anyone could have.
 

Even at his last moments he was willing to give us one last "shake".
 
 
I don't know why Trumpy had to leave our family at such a young age. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.  He was our big fluff ball who we loved so much!
 
 
The little girls and even Logan loved that pup to pieces.
Who couldn't? Look at that adorable face.
 
Out of all this trial I am going through for the second time it amazes me still how much Heavenly Father can still show you comfort through hard times. When I got to have my "break" in between rounds these last couple of weeks I was very careful of germs and such. Before I was re-diagnosed I would have Trump sleep with me more often then not. While I was home I wouldn't let him sleep next to me because I was nervous of the germs. On Sunday evening as I was getting ready for bed I kept having the thought come into my head to just let Trump sleep with you this last night before you go back to the hospital for another long while. I kept arguing back and forth whether or not I should let him. Love over Logic won and we snuggled Sunday night and I left for the hospital the next morning not knowing that would be the last time I would get to see him. I am thankful that Heavenly Father and the spirit kept nudging that thought into my mind so I could spend one last time with him and get my own "closure" since I couldn't at the vet. Heavenly Father knew days before any of us that Trump would have to pass to the other side. I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father to be mindful of me for something that hasn't even happened yet to make it just a little easier that I did get to spend that last night with my puppy. I love this gospel and cannot imagine going through this trail(s) without Him helping me step by step, holding my hand.

A little bit of freedom.
 
Heather and I at the balcony looking over the construction and the valley.
p.s. Heather is one hawt mama haha

 
I got permission to leave my room to go on a walk to the balcony before I get too sick to leave my room. The weather was so nice! I have come to realize how much I take for granted. Fresh air even! It was so good to feel.
