Hallelujah!

Hallelujah is the word!

We got my mom's pathology report back yesterday and it was great news! The margins were clear and the lymph node did not show any traces of cancer. That is the best news I have received in quite a while and I am busy saying lots of thank you prayers.

Mom has made a lot of progress since leaving the hospital on Monday. Although, it really has been a two steps forward, one step back sort of process. My mom and dad are fortunate to have such wonderful neighbors who have been bringing them more food than they can eat. Aunt Donna also spent the week at their house to help however she could. Mom still has an appointment with an oncologist who may suggest she take a chemo like medicine to reduce the risk of cancer in the future. Ultimately it will be up to my mom to decide if she wants to put her body through that. I think we are all just breathing a huge sigh of relief that she is healthy and that her doctors have taken such great care of her.

This news has definitely made me feel like tomorrow will be easier to bear. Look for another post tomorrow, our angel's EDD.

Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of year.

It is awesome news! All of our prayers were answered. I spoke with her about an hour ago. She said she was feeling better but still cant sit up straight. Hopefully the pain will go away soon. You guys should have a party. With cake. Cake sounds really yummy. Or is she still on the strict diet? Well, everyone needs a little cake now and then, especially after all she has been through.

That is such an answer to prayers!! I am so happy for you and your family to finally have some answers and peace of mind. Sounds like the news came at the perfect time for you, and will help get you through tomorrow and allow you to see everything you have been blessed with.
