Extra Prayers Needed

Fall is sneaking up on us, yesterday was such a beautiful day, I so much dread the coming winter. I truly have enjoyed the Summer here in Salt Lake City. It is beautiful here, especially here on temple square where there are so many lovely flowers. What a blessing to be here abounding in beauty all around. I'll want to head south when the 20 degree weather hits us though.
It has been an eventful past few weeks. Marissa has had a kidney stone and she has been dealing with all of that pain. The doctor really doesn't want to do much to help her as he says there are too many babies. They won't do surgery, and the only other alternative is a stint. The last two times she had a stint she was on heavy pain medication for the week to 10 days she had it. You can't be on heavy medication with two babies in the womb. So, if you have any extra prayers, please feel free to supplicated Heavenly Father on her behalf. As her mom, I am trying not to get to anxious and trying to trust in the Lord, sometimes it is difficult we want to have our difficulties solved immediately and must wait. A difficult thing in a world of instant gratification. But, I must say that Marissa is quite a trooper, and so cute all pregnant. We are running out of maternity clothes as the babies are growing too fast. The large size doesn't have enough tummy portion left. What is a mother to do... Today is 26 weeks and we only have to get through today, and try not to worry about tomorrow. The doctor said she is doing fine, and she now wants to see her every two weeks, and she is on a two week schedule with the urologist to check the condition of her kidneys unless she had tremendous pain again. The babies are growing so they are fine, we just hope the stone goes away.
The rest of the family seems to be doing well. Linda, my roommate and I went last Saturday nite to see my cousin Bruce and his band playing at a 1968 class reunion. It was fun to see everyone dancing to tunes I knew most of the words too. Bruce and the band were very good and a great time was had by all. Chuck was here last weekend to see his children and grandchildren, and to go to the BYU/UCLA slaughter. He went with us to the Conference center on Sunday for Stake conference, President Monson was the speaker, with Elders Ballard and Hinckley and Sr. Lant of the General Primary Presidency. It was broadcast to 34 stakes here in the valley. It was a good experience and it was even more special because my brother was there to share it with me. President Monson told us to get our homes in order. Looks like I have work to do. More to come.
