Just an update about my mom... my parents were supposed to find out tomorrow about the status with the tests she took so far, but the doctor called today with an early update. I wish I could be the bearer of good news, but she is 100% positive for cancer. The doctor said she has breast cancer which may be a good sign in hope of a good recovery, but a x-ray showed an excessive amount of fluid surrounding her lungs. The fluid is believed to be part of an infection which is unknown right now what the cause is. She has an appointment tomorrow to gain more knowledge on her condition and the possible avenues available for her treatment. She also has an appointment this coming Wednesday for an in office procedure to drain the fluids around her lungs, which will allow for her to breath a little easier and to also not be in so much pain when she is trying to rest.

I do appreciate all the kind words of encouragement and wisdom from those who have responded here on the blog. I also do want to send my appreciation to all of you who are saying those prayers for both my mom and dad. I am blessed and thankful for being a part of a family who cares enough to take a little time away from their life to offer up prayers to our Lord and words of encouragement/wisdom to me and Jen.
