Just a Week?

** I took this picture from my back porch, oh how I love Utah sunsets! **

It has been a week... wow... time passes by so slowly with so many things happening in it! I don't understand it sometimes. Ok, I will begin on Saturday. My little brother Jesse turned 8 years old on February 14th, Valentines day, and his baptism was on Saturday, February 28th. I invited Jesse (Flint) to come with me. A lot of my family was there... so it was a little awkward for Jesse, but it was a good baptism experience. I was asked to play the prelude and the opening song, oh and the music when one family leaves to do baptism and the rest wait. [Now I would like to apologize for this above paragraph, there is probably a better way to lay it out but I thought about it all scrambled and kind of sectioned, so it's pretty bad]. Then on Sunday... I don't really remember sunday to well, I know something happened... but I don't know what, so I give up. Ok, I decided I am not going to go through the days because I can't remember what day was what. They are all kind of smushed together... this week was way too long that the days are just not there right. First of all, I found out that my Uncle Dennie is in the hospital [again], but this time it's very bad. He went in while in a coma. They found out that he has a blood clot in his right lung, 13% failing kidneys, a gall bladder that needs removed, E. Coli, Pneumonia, Staph infection, and I think that's it. He was at Davis Hospital since last Thursday (Feb. 26th) until Monday or Tuesday I think.. not sure. But they moved him to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden and he's doing a little better... he woke up a little bit. Mostly he woke up for 5 mins, then went back to sleep, and then another 5 mins, and back to sleep so they sedated him so he could recover better. He is in the ICU, room 2307 on the second floor... This is the worst he's ever been, and he's been through a lot. 2 months after he got married he got cancer (3 times)... finally leading to paralysis... the cancer left, after all the treatment... and he struggled through life after that... his wife of 5 years, or more, got into pharmaceutical drugs and left him, then he moved into my nana's house (his mom's) and has battled for his life many times due to illness. So he's been through quite a lot, and he's a fighter. He wants to live. Well another thing this week that has been going on is Jesse's Grandma Jackson went in for open heart surgery to fix her weak heart, and there were complications after the surgery. While the doctors were stitching up her heart, it tore and she didn't stop bleeding for a while... they lost her, but she came back... and they lost her 2 times after, but she came back each time. Her heart was swollen so they couldn't close her back up or she would die ( that is what caused her to depart before), so they said they would have to leave it open for a day to see if it would not be so swollen. She ended up passing away on Thursday-March 5th. So as you can see, a lot has happened this week. The disneyland trip that was going to be this weekend has changed... so we are trying to figure out when we are going to go... and we are also trying to figure out when we are going to have the funeral. A lot of things are in the air at this moment. God has definitely been busy with all the prayers he must have recieved this week. Well there is a short update on what has happened this week. I'm sorry I did leave out quite a few details, but plain and simple, there you go.
