I have so much to post and so much to think about.
It's just not easy to write it all down and get the words together in one place.
Saturday morning, as I was setting up for the Strawberry Festival at our church, I got a call from my mom and dad and heard words that changed the whole world.
The colonscopy that Mom had last week showed a tumor in her colon and a follow-up CAT scan showed it has spread to her liver, and the biopsy came back as Stage IV. Even as I type this now, it seems unbelievable and I keep thinking that it must be a mistake.
Mom and dad went right over to Seattle and today she had another colonscopy and at the same time had a stint implanted to keep the bowel open. The procedure went well, and that is a Blessing. Tomorrow they will meet with an Oncologist to discuss a treatment plan.
Last week, everything was crazy, busy and normal. Last week I read the news, blogs and listened to talk radio.
This week, none of that seems to matter or really even exist. This week I am talking on the phone and emailing my family and friends and trying to relay information that just can't be real. But it is.
Still, I feel carried. There are so many prayers and so much Grace. Mom and Dad seem to be doing so well and their Faith just gives and gives.
God is so faithful. He always gives us the Grace we need in any situation. I know He is with us all.
I will post as we learn the path that is laid out before Mom and Dad. Pray for them please.
