My meet and greet the surgeon came. My husband took off to go with me and my kids were to stay with my mom, but my son threw his guts up so all the changed and my husband stayed with my kids and I went to the meeting alone. That was a very hard thing …

Relapse
The follow up visit with the gastro doctor was quick and simple, they ordered a MRI to make sure everything was as it should be and that fell the week after Christmas. I was happy because I was confident that it was gone, I was cured and that this whole ordeal was going to be …
The aftermath
The endoscopy went about as well as I imagined it would. My son was exclusively breastfed at this time and refused to take a bottle. My mom told me to leave them with her overnight as the endoscopy was super early in the morning, so it seemed like a good idea to us. My husband …
New normal
After settling into the fear and getting okay with my diagnose of a large cyst (13cm) on the tail end of my pancreas, I googled all kinds of things. People would tell me all kinds of craziness of what they thought it was but I didn’t put much stock in it. I got so tired …

My health had continued to spiral down and had been diagnosed with gestational …
A brief Summary of 6 months

I’ve become a worship leader at church, worked all year and obtained a certificate to operate and test well systems, I’m working from home and taken on more work accounting. I’ve worked on my husband’s …

I’m going to let you all in on a little secret, I tend to do a lot of pen and paper writing long before anything makes it on the blog. I will go through my notes and post it if I find anything I deem “worthy” of repeat, this time, (unfortunately the time is like …
Dark Weather Friends
I am sure that you have heard the adage “Fair Weather Friends”, perhaps even experienced that phenomenon, where you are surrounded by love and support until that one thing tips the scales and you are no longer deemed worthy by them. This idea of Dark Weather Friends was solidified in my heart as I read …
