Quick update on Beth today. In the middle of the night last night Beth woke up and started to panic because she couldn’t catch her breath. Her pulse ox numbers (measures your blood oxygen saturation levels) were normal which means it is likely Dyspena which is a feeling of breathlessness that is experienced by many people with advanced cancer. It was very scary for Beth as there was no relief. One of the treatments for Dyspena is anti-anxiety medication which despite them making her drowsy and having lower energy levels/overall awareness it looks like they are needed. Shout out to our Home Teachers who came ove and gave Beth a Priesthood Blessing at 2:45 A.M.

I am sure there is no better medicine for Beth than her loving husband by her side – or on her :), the blessing of her faithful home teachers, and her angel mother-in-law nearby (and taking the most touching photo I've seen). And I just love your sweet companion pup by her side! Sending so much love to you all. xoxo
I love this picture of the two of you together. You two have such great love, and a beautiful love story. Sending all our love and prayers.
What a beautiful picture, I can see the love!

Love the Lybberts (in Indiana - not the Ohio Lybberts! But they love you too!)
