conquered.

We are all physically overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers lifted on mother's behalf.  Thank you seems so inadequate for all of the love and concern that you precious friends have shown us over the past 24 hours.  Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to pray for momma today.  To the complete strangers who prayed for her today, thank you.  You have touched our hearts in a way that we will never forget.

Here is the definition of conquered.
 Hate the picture is blurry, but you get the idea.  Dr. Forero thinks she was having mini seizures when she was having the fainting spells.  He took her off of some of her medicine that he believes was causing this and all of the sickness.  The scan was completely normal!!!!  They go back next week for regularly scheduled scans and chemo.  Thank God for answered prayers today.  Forever He is faithful.  Love to all...

prayers. needed.

Mom had to make an unexpected trip to Birmingham tonight for a brain scan first thing in the morning.  She just hasn't been herself in the last couple of weeks.  Without getting into too many details, her oncologist thought it would be best to go ahead and come up tonight for a scan in the morning, just to make sure everything is ok. 

Anytime we hear the word scan, we all get a little antsy.  Even more so when you add the word brain in front of it.  She is very scared.  Please keep her in your prayers tonight and during the day tomorrow.  I will update tomorrow night when we know more.  Thank you from the bottom of our broken hearts tonight.

keeping up...

I wish I was a better writer and update-r.  There are about 10 million reasons I could list about why this blog hasn't been updated more, but I will skip them.  Truth is, life is hard....and busy...and most days, between the pain and the sickness and the swelling and all the sleeping, it's hard to see His comfort and grace.

Last week was her off week, and it was lived to THE fullest.  Her week was jammed pack with independence, being Sweet P, and Sunday was even spent back in church!!!  Talk about His faithfulness! 

However, this week has been back to the same old routine that I have mentioned on this blog before.  Those off weeks don't come nearly enough and fly by way to fast!  We get a glimpse of "old" momma and before we know it, it's over. 

She will get treatment tomorrow and have lympodema therapy on Wednesday. 

I will leave ya'll with some sweet pictures of our handsome butterbean.


 

Keep praying her up!
