Hi Girls!

I am at my mom's using her computer, a rare opportunity. I appreciate Lura for keeping you all updated. She reads me parts of your blogs and fills me in on all of you.
Oh girls...this is such a crazy time for me and my family. My mother in law is in Toledo U. Hospital being treated by a specialist. God is truly answering prayers in that area. She sounds good and we are driving up to see her tomorrow. Thank you all for your prayers. She says thank you too. God is good!
As Lura wrote I had an ob/gyn appt. The test they did in August apparantly came back with pre cancerous cells. I will know by early next week if it is progressing at all or hopefully retreating. If there is any advancement at all they will begin more testing and aggressive treatment. Tuesday I have a mammogram and ultrasound on my left breast and armpit. I have a "large mass" that has started hurting. I had a mamm. two years ago that showed level 2 elargement of my thyroid. We just had to monitor it, which I have been. You could never feel it then. The lump begins in my armpit and goes into the side of my breast. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday afternoon.
I had my tears at the remote idea that I could have cancer in two places in my body, but I am going to face it as I do most things....with God and humor.......and friends! Whatever it is - it is being caught early and will be taken care of.
Sean and I are trying to figure out how to get internet back. I miss you crazy people and I love you all very much!!!!!!!!!!

No Internet and a Prayer Request

Amanda wanted me to let you guys know that she does not have Internet access at the moment. She is fine.

She also asked for prayers for a family friend, Lloyd. He has decided to go off his dialysis and call in Hospice. Amanda feels like everyone she loves is dying. This man was a good friend to her great aunts.

They had a wonderful Christmas and she will eventually get a chance to share about her day and her pictures.

She's also a flaming hot mama.

She likes to eat banana peels and boogers.
