We are anxiously awaiting the arrivals of two very special new members of the family. My dear, dear sister is due any day with her third daughter. She will be a beautiful miracle whom we are all dying to meet. Sister picked out a lovely name for the new addition, but as you all know I try not to publish names.
And on my hubby's side of the family we are all anxiously awaiting a bouncing baby boy from his super cool neice and her awesome better half. And I would love to say baby boy's name too but the same rule applies. CONGRATULATIONS to you both and best of luck on healthy easy deliveries. I am thrilled for you both!
So now on to news about why I am stuck waiting. Some of you may know I went to the hospital er back in November with terrible abdominal pain. While there I had a ct scan of my abdomen which showed that I had enlarged lymph nodes in my abdominal area. The er docs were concerned and advised to follow-up with my doctor. I followed up immediately with my dr who told me I had a virus that would likely resolve in a week or so. The pain went away and I went on with life. Although, I did always feel somewhat bloated and I had a feeling that I should follow up with my doctor again. Then last Saturday, I ended up in the er again with the exact same symptoms although the pain was ten times worse. The er doctors proceeded with the same work up and the results were exactly the same as November. The er doctor I saw seemed so competent and was very worried. He said I couldn't ignore the enlarged lymph nodes any longer. So ultimately I was admitted to the hospital for testing and here is where I wait.
While here, I have had two ct-guided needle aspiration biopsies odered by an oncologist. The doctors all seem to conclude there is something there but they just dont know what. The worst and best case scenario would be lymphoma. Lymphoma is cancer but it is very treatable and typically can be cured. So we are praying that we have all the answers we need on Monday. And so we wait...

Beth,
You don't know me, but I am friends with your Parents who I just adore. I know you are awesome since you are the best parts of them. I was entertained to read your blog and how you escaped from the Hospital and how committed you are to fighting this fight. Know this that we will say prayers for you daily and I will also have our small group pray for you along with the small high school group that I lead at Saddleback Church. I pray that God gives you strength when you need it most, provides you hope and that your family's love will comfort you greatly.
God Bless you!!
