Oh!



Joy is really feeling the effects of chemotherapy, complete with extreme tiredness and nausea. Her doctors gave her some hemoglobin transfusions today which helped her to feel a little better.


The REAL thing that helped her feel better, however, was a visit from her favorite two babies. When they entered her room, Eleanor let out a gigantic OH! which was followed by a HUGE hug.


Joy also got to meet Dr. Clyde Ford today, not only one of the best doctors in the intermountain west, but also the doctor who treated Elder Maxwell.

There is nothing more wonderful than the loving embrace of a 1 year old! Let their love and energy give you the extra boost to hang in there. We pray for you to have strength over the coming days. You are such a strong woman, you can do it!

Love,
Rick and Sarah O. Rutherford

Dear Beautiful Joy,
It has been many, many years since we last worked together, but you are still as beautiful as ever and your smile is still stunning. I learned of your recent diagnosis and while saddened about the struggle you are facing, I also know of your great strength, fantastic sense of humor, and deep faith. All will serve you well in this learning experience. I know that you will be fine. Hang in there and take a day at a time. I know there are many, many sunny days ahead. I remember our chats at work about faith and determination. You are an amazing lady. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your DARLING family. How can this be? When we worked together, there weren't any children in the Woolley family yet! They are gorgeous and I can tell that they are the center of your world and you are their center too. I hope to have a chance to meet them in person one day after you are feeling better.

Love and prayers,
