The next step is trusting in God. I received the path report today and it confirms that the lesion on my mom's head is metastatic melanoma. She returns to the head and neck surgeon next Tuesday and we find out the options.
Good news ~ my mom's eating a little better. She ate 1/2 of a baked potato on Sunday and has gone out for pancakes with my dad twice. He is very concerned about her lack of eating. When he's given good food, he will eat. I think we'll have them over for a cookout on Father's Day. We're considering getting an aide to come in a do a little light housework, make dinner, etc., a few times a week.
My parents' computer displayed the blue screen of death about a month ago and they purchased a new one on Sunday at Wal-Mart. I'm working on getting it set up. They haven't been able to check email since last month. But try sending them one now and I'm sure you'll get a reply soon
Sara has an upper GI scheduled next Tuesday, as well. Please pray that it will show any stomach issues because she has been having problems with getting sick after eating for about a year.
John injured himself jumping on a trampoline a few weeks ago, so we're trying to figure out if he has a hernia. He's scheduled to see a surgeon on my birthday (June 30), but I'm trying to get an earlier appointment.
Daniel is officially a middle schooler ~ aaaaaahhhhH! Been there, done that. Hopefully it will be easier the second time around.
And we've hired a new assistant at work. She starts next week. I'm very excited! She seems normal, which trust me, is a definite plus!
Will keep you posted on the treatment plan for my mom. Thanks for the prayers.
A sermon I heard this week made it clear that we are to worship God in all circumstances, whether those that we brought on ourselves or those we can't control. Some days it's harder than others, but I know when I am worshiping God, I feel soooo much better!
