With everything that happened prior to my surgery;
Chloe having MRSA and maybe not being able to have the surgery, the blessing
the night before-blessing the surgeon to know how and what to do as things came
up in the surgery, the cancer hiding where no one would detect it until it was
too late and then all the sudden appearing. Mark and I feel calm that this will
be a difficult journey but one that will help us to grow. Even though we know
it’s cancer but we don’t know the pathology behind it; staging etc. we don’t
feel like this is a death sentence like most people would tend to think. There
will be a lot of changes good and bad each one to give us a new perspective on
life. Don’t get me wrong IT WILL BE HARD but we are surrounded by good family,
friends, the gospel and most of all love.
I thought Mark would have a hard time as well as
Chris. I texted Tom to tell him Mark needed a blessing and maybe a few others.
I think Mark is still in shock. Chris is angry. Courtney will cry with me and
support me. Peyton wants to see my owies and sit on my lap. Paul-I haven’t come
out directly and told him but he knows I went to the hospital and that
something is wrong. He keeps asking if he can stay and help take care of me…
Mark and I told Austin he just sat there quiet like usual. When Mark went down
there later he asked him if it made him sad and he said yes, but I wonder still
his full comprehension of what’s ahead. I guess in a certain sense none of us
do. When we find out more information later this week we will call Parker’s
mission president and ask him how to proceed with telling Parker.
