How quickly things can change...

So I am going to be having some downer posts for awhile. Mikes Marathons are over for the year so there wont be any of those fun posts. Right now I am dealing with a lot of stuff. I wrote last post about my mom having emergency surgery. Well turns out the tumor they removed from her stomach was cancerous. I can't even tell you how hard it is to find out your mom has cancer. My family has spent a good amount of crying this last week.

It is crazy how fast everything can change. A week and a half ago my mom was fine. Or so we thought. Then she gets sick one day... goes to the hospital the next and within a couple of days we got the biopsy report. I was shocked to hear it was cancerous. the fact that there was a tumor scared me... but the surgeon was so sure it didn't appear to be cancerous so I thought we would be ok. It is still hard to think that it was cancerous. I have a hard time believing all of this is really happening.

Anyways I went to St. George this weekend to be with my family. Kelly came with Delia... and Linda and Dave brought me along with their children. I am so glad we were all able to be there. We spent countless hours in the hospital laughing and teasing each other (And no Kelly... I don't have gray hair, they are blonde streaks!). It was fun being with everyone again and being able to joke around. I think it really helped my mom as well to have us all there to chat and joke with. I am glad I went.

My mom is supposed to be released from the hospital today. They want to run a few more tests before they let her go. We are hoping she can leave today. She is going nuts in the hospital. She wants out and wants to be home. They are trying to get her healed from her surgery before they start running tests to see if the cancer spread and how far. So right now we don't know much about it. I hate just waiting around... waiting to find out what is happening. They don't even know the exact type or stage of the cancer yet. I am anxious to know that.

Anyways... I am hoping everything works out and that this is just a minor road bump for our family. I guess we will just have to wait and see. For now its just going to be touch and go and lots of crying.

I spent the weekend in St. George while Mike spent it here at home... sick. He has had a bad headache all weekend and was running a fever when I got home last night. Poor guy. I had no idea he was sick until I got home. I missed him so much while I was gone. I am so lucky to have him. I can honestly say I married my best friend. He has been incredible this past week with being so supportive. He has held me while I cried who knows how many times. I don't think I could handle this without his support and Love. I hope he gets feeling better. I told him all I need is to find out he has a brain tumor or something! I am thinking his headache is probably a sinus headache. I guess we will see how things play out with him as well.
