We love our Mama!

So my mom has been fighting Hotchkins Lymphoma for...I think about 4 years! She's been strong and has even had fun with her bald head at times. This last month she was admitted to the hospital to have intense chemo and stem cell therapy.  They were very serious about it saying that there was a 40% chance of death with this treatment. They were going to kill everything and then bring her back to life with new healthy stem cells. We were not allowed to see her if we were sick, and even healthy we had to wash our hands for 3 mins straight before we could enter her room. She was uncomfortable at times, but like I said she's strong and has pulled through. So well infact that they sent her home a week and a half earlier than planned! Her stem cells got to work immediately and the dr's are very surprised and happy about how well she's doing. She went in yesterday for a check up and an appointment that was supposed to take 4 hours of tests and transplants, if needed, only lasted an hour and a half. They say they haven't seen someone heal as quick as she is.

We're not surprised over here. She had a blessing before she went in that said this treatment would be effective. The Lord is always right :) I LOVE the priesthood, having the knowledge and comfort that he knows what he's doing!

Anyways, while she was gone. We (Me, Clair, Sarah, Austin and Logan) completely cleaned and redecorated her room. Before it had blue walls, covered in holes, it was super dusty behind all the furniture,  and the carpet that has been in this house since day one seriously needed some deep cleaning. If we had the money to tear out and replace that 1969 blue and green shag carpet we would have! But instead we took everything out. vacuumed it and then shampooed it really well.

We found a picture tucked behind the dresser, and Clair said she remembered mom saying one day she wanted to decorate her room like it. So we did it for her...

Our Inspiration

When we put everything back in the room after painting the walls a light pink we flipped around her TV and bed, making the room look much bigger!

We spray painted picture frames and lamps silver to match the picture, and Clair brought over that cute little tea set sitting on her dresser, which Sarah cutely decorated with some of moms jewelry.

This added the perfect touch

We all just adore this corner!! Clair decorated that "B" we found in the closet to match everything perfectly! And we found the bedding on walmart.com, which we think totally completes the room!

We didn't all get to see her reaction like we wanted, because she came home so soon, but we know she loves it! And now she has a wonderful room to get completely better in. :) Thanks for helping in making this surprise for her possible Clair, Sarah, Austin and Logan! I could not have done it without you!
