I wanted to quickly let everyone know how I'm doing. Some of you know what's been going on, and some of you don't. I had another ERCP(Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) last Friday to replace the stint in my main bile duct. I had been itching quite a bit the week or so prior to the procedure and was wondering what was going on. Well, the stint was clogged like I thought it was and that's why I was itching again. The doctor thinks we will have about three years of these ERCP's , every 2-3 months. I am not looking forward to this, but I have no choice. The doctor also told Jason that he is quite confident that I have PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) just by the looks of the ducts coming from the liver. I guess they are continuing to look "unhealthy". For those of you who don't know what PSC is, it is a slowly degenerative disease primarily of the bile ducts inside and outside the liver. Pretty much my liver is slowly dying off. The specialist said I would need a transplant in 10-15 years. I don't know how I will feel come 10 years from now, but It does have a promising outlook. They say there is no way to stop the damage from continuing and they don't know why it starts, so now I just get to wait and let nature take it's course. I have a strong testimony of the Gospel in my life and know that this is just one hurdle in life. I also know and feel my Heavenly Father's presence in all of this. I know he loves me and when I get frustrated and down, I just remind myself of what our Savior Jesus Christ went through for all of us. Wow, I can only be grateful for my many blessing in my life. I love you all and hope all is well.

As I was reading some of my friends blogs and facebook status's yesterday, they all talked about making green pancakes and then a green dinner. I guess I'm kind of boring. I don't like cabbage except for grandmas ramen salad, and so we had ravioli for dinner. Very festive huh!! Earlier that day, I got the girls all dressed up in their matching green shirts Grandma Petrovich bought then. We were supposed to go to my friends house so that Morgyn could play with her son, but he ended up being sick, so we stayed away. They were all dressed up with no place to go, so I decided to go on a walk. My sister gave me her double jogging stroller and I absolulty love it. The girls had a lot of fun too. Whitney fell asleep in it and Morgyn did not want to get out. I was going to take pictures, but I ran out the door without the camera. Here are some pics of the girls in their shirts. They are my little sweeties!!
