Weekly Update

First of all, thanks to everyone who emailed me or left a comment on the blog. My surgery was successful and the doctor was able to remove the entire mass. The doctor thought the mass looked good (benign), but sent it off for testing of course. I have to wear this super tight tube top thing until Thursday when I go back to see the doctor, and I can't lift anything over 10 pounds...other than that, I'm pretty much back to normal (except for the itchy rash all over my neck). I get to have a shower on Sunday, and I'm really looking forward to that (remembering to appreciate all the small things!).

As usual, I had planned on posting more during the week, but things got too busy. We had Emily's CAP meeting for Jr. High, and then parent/teacher conferences for Claire and Allyson. Emily was happy with her class choices for next year and will continue in band. All three girls also made the honor roll again...hurray!

Randy's mom was hospitalized this week with fluid on her heart. They performed surgery to install a drain tube in her chest and have sent the fluid off for testing. We're praying that this is a condition that can be easily treated. Wow...We spent a lot of time in hospitals this week!

Claire's school had a small ballet performace this week as well. I'll try to get the pictures downloaded to the blog this weekend.

Think that's it for our busy week!
