is..........
REMISSION!!!!!
On Thursday (I am so sorry.... I will explain my delays in a minute....), we got Grandma's MRI results. Her tumor that was last measured at 4.5cm is now only 1.5!!!! The other tumor is now being called a "nodule", whatever that means. I can't even begin to explain the feelings of joy in my family right now. It's amazing. She has been given another chance (after a month ago being ready to die) and this is the answer to our prayers!! Thank you, again, for all of your prayers and support!!! Jacque.... you are next for the good news. God is taking care of you too, babe!! :D
Now.... for the rest of my story.....
Last week was so full and busy I can't even think where I need to begin! On Monday, I had no daycare kids so I thought for sure I would get everything done and caught up for the upcoming weekend where the hubby and I were to be gone and my momma was coming to stay with the kiddos. No such luck. I did NOTHING. I sat on my behind. Well... that's a lie. I did sit on my behind, but it was while I was trying my best to console my dear friend through the upcoming day.
Tuesday, said friend had to give birth to a child she had just found, four days prior, was deceased. I hope that no one I know will ever have to endure that again. Either side of it, listening to a friend go through it OR having it happen to them personally. It was, in every sense of the word, AWFUL. I also started a new 8 week old daycare baby that day.... catch 22.
Wednesday, when she got home from the hospital, without a baby in tow, I drove up to Norfolk and spent the night with her. I actually just came home when she went to bed. It was so exhausting. It's amazing to me how tiring crying is.
Thursday, MAD DASH to try and get things that I was SUPPOSED to be doing all week long done. I, much like my cousins, am the perfect procrastinator!! I can't think of anything else that was accomplished on this day other than watching kids and getting the house picked up and laundry done.
Friday, Zachary started preschool (yet another catch 22), we scrambled to get last minute things done, and then at 2 headed off to marry off one of our good friends.
We finally got home yesterday and oy..... I am STILL beat. I will try and post more about the wedding and weekend tomorrow. I really am just plain tired and I need to call Kathy and see what the funeral arrangements are. Please keep praying for the poor girl. I can't even imagine.
Have a wonderful night!! Hope to have more for you tomorrow!!

Glad that at least your weekend was fun, after such a grueling week. I'm so sorry about Kathy.
Your G-ma Barb kicks ass! I'm so happy, happy, happy. That is just too exciting. I had no idea things were going so well! Thank God that doc found the mistakes in the scan report and she kept up with treatments.
I am getting so excited for our little Saturday away. Three of my high school pals are heading up for the night and staying at the same hotel. What a way to say goodbye to our twenties. By acting twenty. :0)
Nikki! Yea for your grandma! That is outstanding! That onc deserves a bouquet!
You had quite a week. Hopefully things will calm down for you now and you can get a little rest. Take care!
