Dr. Kforey & Team

One if the biggest lessons I have learned in the past few months is that My Cardiology Team really cares about me.

Dr. Kfoury
Dr. Kfoury is a straight forward doctor.
He does not have a problem telling me "No" and that can be a good thing.
Dr."Rami" and Dr. Budge are amazing in different ways.

This week as I went to my bi-weekly check-up Dr. Kfoury said that he wanted to do another ECHO just to see how my heart was doing.
My first thought was OH NO...I did not pack an over night bag...

After the ECHO, Dr. Kfoury came in and said that things looked really good.
My New Little Heart is beating like it did when I first got it.
YES!
How grateful I am for this amazing group of Drs. and Staff of the Heart Failure and Transplant at the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray.

General Conference

I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) General Conference that happens every 6 months.

October 2010 General Conference.

This beautiful building sets North of the Salt Lake City, Utah Temple.
 I love going into the Confernce Center and the feeling of peace that is there. Though it is very difficult to get tickets for conference, we have been able to go a couple of times.
I like just visiting when it is not during conference. You can take a tour anytime.
 The history of this amazing building is beautiful.
The pulpit is made from a Black Walnut Tree that was planted by President Gordan B. Hinckley, he said at the first General Conference held at the Conference Center 
"If I get a little personal and even a little sentimental, I hope you will forgive me," President Hinckley said as he began to describe the origin of the pulpit.
President Hinckley said he spent his boyhood summers on the family's fruit farm and has always loved trees. "Every year at this season we planted trees," he said. "Well, some 36 years ago I planted a black walnut. It was in a crowded area where it grew straight and tall to get the sunlight.
 A year ago, for some reason, it died."
President Hinckley knew of the wood's value, so he invited a church general authority, Elder Ben Banks of the quorums of the Seventy, to his home. Elder Banks had been in the hardwood lumber business before being called to a full-time church assignment.
President Hinckley passed away in 2008.
 At that time a new prophet is called.
He is Thomas S. Monson.
His counselors are Henry B. Irene and Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I love hearing these men speak.
A PROPHET who leads and guides. Not just for the LDS church but to all who will listen.
 There are also 12 Apostles
These men are just as the apostles of old.
They preach of Christ.
In the next 2 days you will see many posts in "Blogland" about being "fed" by these men and the women who server in leadership positions in the LDS Church.
Any are welcome to listen and more important feel of the messages that will be given.
I can not wait!

Uncle Derek

When Derek got home in May from serving an LDS Mission in Indiana he only stayed in Idaho for a few weeks before moving to Arizona for a job.
It was in July when he finally got to meet his 1st niece, Celes.
Derek moved back to Idaho in August and Miss Celes has not been so sure she likes him...she will stick out her little bottom lip and then just cry.
The other day while I was canning I told Derek he needed to feed her and hold her...just for a minute.
I went in to see how he was doing and this is what I found.
 I think Celes had settled into liking her Uncle Derek.
