I want to start this post by saying thank you. I have been overwhelmed by the prayers and the love and support that have been shown to us over the last few days. Both Clint and I have been blessed with amazing families and friends! So thank you so, so much!

Clint started chemo on Saturday and seems to be tolerating it pretty well so far. He is just a little tired. He has had a fever that gets pretty high at night which makes it pretty hard to get any rest. His blood cultures did show that he had some type of bacteria but the nurse said that it is a pretty easy one to get under control. So hopefully the new antibiotics they put him on will take care of that pretty quickly.
The chemo seems to be doing its job. His white blood cell count was down to 29,000 after only one treatment so that was a really good sign. And this morning it is down to 3,200 so hopefully soon he will have cleared all his blasts. The doctors were all pretty surprised at how well he is responding to the chemo, they weren't sure how well it would work with how aggressive the leukemia is. Even Dr. Asche, who is very blunt, and who told us on Saturday that if it was her in our position she would probably opt to go home and enjoy the time she had left, told us on Sunday that we had made the right decision to go ahead with the chemo. That made us feel pretty good, at least about that decision.
After his morning round of chemo on Sunday we were able to go home and spend some time with our family. It was a wonderful day. Clint and I both received blessings which was such a comfort. We also finally got to see our new beautiful little niece Lilly, who is the cutest baby girl ever (way to go Camie & Jeff, we love you guys)!
We had to be back at the hospital before 9pm so we could get his nightly chemo. He gets 2 kinds of chemo at night, one of them is a dark blue color. It is really crazy watching this blue medicine flow into him. It also makes his pee a greenish-turquoise color, which is a little weird.
We got to leave today again after chemo and all his other meds. We just went home and hung out for a little while, had a couple visitors, and then we went and had some family pictures taken. Luckily we have the most amazing photographer in the world right in our family. Kim and the fam met us at the temple and took a bunch of pictures of our family and of Clint with each of the boys. I am so excited to see them, I think they are going to turn out pretty cute. It was pretty emotional, but so worth it! I told Clint I felt like we were getting engagement pictures taken again, that is until all our boys jumped in :) It was a really fun time! Thanks so much Kim! (hope the boys are sleeping good for you right now)
So hopefully tomorrow we can get out of here after all his morning meds again. He should finish up with this round of chemo tomorrow night and then we just have to decide where we go from there. We still don't know for sure what we are going to decide, there are just so many unknowns and no good options. But I feel confident that we will make the decision that is best for us. I also feel a little hope, maybe unfounded, but hope nonetheless. Not necessarily that he will be cured of this leukemia, but that at least we will be blessed with a little more time than we first thought. And if that little more time turns into many more years, well let's just say you won't hear me complaining one bit!
I love that man more than I could ever say! I am the luckiest girl in the world to have found him and I wouldn't trade a second of our life together for anything. He is THE BEST man I have ever known and I am truly a better person for knowing him. And the best part is I get him FOREVER! Love you sweetie!!!

Goodnight all, please keep the prayers coming, we love you!
