C C C machines

This week we had a delivery. A very nice respiratory therapist named Manny came by the house and dropped off 3 different machines I now need to use. A C-pap machine for oxygenating me, a Cough Assist machine and a mouth Cleaning machine for clearing out things that get caught in my mouth or throat.

As I learn to use machines to help me live, I often think that life isn't much fun anymore. I have realized that the only true pleasure I get is when I am doing something for someone else. I know I must now be served, but it is so totally unnatural for me! And I'm getting noticibly weaker. Can you tell I'm going through a rough period right now? Prayers wanted and I hope accepted.

  2. Logan and I pray for you together several times a day, and you're on the Mount Timpanogas Temple prayer roll. Today we're going to the Provo Temple so we'll put you on there too!

  3. It truly is a service to let others serve you. Not an easy one to swallow though.
    I love you!

  6. Sister Rober,
    I was on Lisa's blog and noticed a link to your blog on the side. I hope you don't mind me peaking. I just wanted you to know, that after reading your posts, I have no doubt that your positive attitude and love for the gospel is definitely felt by those around you. You are an example to us all. As your struggles and trails get harder, I pray that you will feel comforted and that the Savior's love for you will help you get through the darkest times.
    Much love,
    Erin (Kelly) Hamlin
