My stay in SLC

This is the morning of THE day,the first of her Chemo session. A wonderful friend brought this wonderful PINK blanket over the Monday before I left for SLC. She told me to take this and wrap my baby in it, and that is just what I did. Thank you so much Toiya!!!!!!

Sept. 30th was a big day for Desirae. Friday morning there was a Cancer awareness and survivor meeting at the IMHC, Sheri Dew was to talk at this meeting. It was a wonderful meeting, I had to take the opportunity to get pictures with Sheri Dew. So we did just that!! Sheri' Dr. was the last speaker and he presented his oldest and youngest Breast Cancer survivors. His oldest was 99 when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and she was standing before us that day at 101. His youngest was 24 who now was married and has a family. She is also the Pres. of the Young Survivors Group who has been in contact with Desirae. It was wonderful hearing about the survivors of today. When just a few years ago women were dying because it was not detected soon enough. Stats are that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Self examination is very important before the age of 40.
Friday night, Murray High was having a PINK OUT game and Desirae was chosen as one to be honored at half time. It was a very PINK Football Stadium. She was exhausted Friday night.
FUN, FUN Saturday night when all the boys went to the Priesthood Session The girls had a pink party. The Ogden girls know how to party, Mom Ogden brought dinner from Macaroni Grill and the pink hair dye was brought out and the Fowlks girls had our PINK party.
I would like to thank all those wonderful people who have supported Des in anyway, she has many awesome friends and family who have worn pink on PINK Wednesday and sent pictures to her. I know that she has felt the many many prayers in her behalf. I have felt the comfort from our Savior, through the beginning of this journey, I know she has as well.

And to end this post I just have to put this picture up of this cute little face. This is Haiven' face she loves making at people. She is just so stinkin cute.
