Happy 4th of July!!!

I just want to start out by saying how grateful I am for all those who make such huge sacrifices so that we can live in this free country! I have such respect for all those who fight for our freedom, because freedom is not free! Thank You!!!
Last night I took the boys over to my aunt Shannon's house (thanks Shan) for a BBQ and some fireworks! The boys had such a great time. They played & played and then when it finally got a little dark they were ready for the sparklers. After that they went over to the church by Shannon's house to watch the Thanksgiving Point fireworks. They loved them and told me the end was awesome! I left before the fireworks started so I could beat all the 'after firework' traffic. But I got up here just in time to see the Sugarhouse Park fireworks, we had a pretty decent view of them right from the window in Clint's hospital room! Which was great because I love fireworks!!!

Earlier yesterday Nate & Noah came up to visit! It was a lot of fun. They love hanging out with their dad! Here they all are sitting on our little couch.
They also got to take dad on a walk. Well Clint & I walked, they got to ride :)
Clint is feeling pretty good. We are now at day 16. Today he had 300 neutraphils, yeah! He is still not eating a lot but he did eat a small bowl of rice krispies this morning, so that's something. They still don't know what the diarrhea is from. For right now they are just going to keep an eye on it and if it doesn't start clearing up or it starts to get worse they will send in a GI doctor and do a scope to get some biopsies to see what's going on. But for now we'll just try to get him eating and see what that does for him.
It does sound like we'll probably be here for a little while longer :( They just want to make sure everything is working right before we go home, which is good. But when he does hit 500 netraphils they said he could probably get a 'day pass' so we can leave the hospital for a while and maybe take the kids and do something fun (so if anyone has any ideas of fun things we can do in SLC with our kids in a non germy environment please let me know).
Thanks to all those who visited today, it definitely helps the day go by faster! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend. Be safe and have fun! And as always, healthy visitors and prayers always welcome! Love you all!
