Oh what a week and three days!

A friend of mine asked me last Sunday why I responded to her "how are you?" with "Crazy."  I emailed her the following on Monday morning...


Where to start?!!!!

Ethan's 4th birthday today. 

Kedzie turns 6 on the 10th

My mom's here.

The Ravsten's are coming.

I'm still bleeding from my D&C and my hcg levels are all wack, so I have an ultra sound today at 4pm. 

Alex split his chin open in the mountains on Friday and we went to the ER.  He was awesome and they loved him. They just had to glue it.  But, now it's a bit oozzzeeeey.  I wish I was a nurse! 

And, my mom's cancer is back and she starts chemo again on the 15th.  

Yup...I think that's it.  But, we are surviving, and we are happy and we are doing everything we can.  It's just crazy! But, this too shall pass.  

How are you guys doing?  Hope all is well.  Take care.  Thanks for asking.  Emily :)

So, since Monday, I've completed my ultra sound, got bad news that there was a 4cm growth in the top of my uterus that could be a number of awful things, had a party at Chuck E Cheese's, a swimming party, worried about Alex's chin, had my second D&C in as many months, and the wonderful news that I didn't have a molar pregnancy, cancer, or anything else.  The first doctor just didn't get all the tissue during the first D&C.  Duh!  The details are wild and crazy.  The week has been wild and crazy.  I feel a little wild and crazy.  However, I'm grateful for my blessings.  I'm grateful for my children.  For my wonderful husband. For my life.  I've never been more grateful for my life.  Truly...

This entry doesn't even give a detailed description of what has happened since the 6th of February.  That would be almost too much to relive.  But, I'm grateful to friends and family who supported and love me through it all.  For the dinners that were provided.  For the phone calls and prayers.  I'm grateful to Heavenly Father for letting the pain of the last four months be over.  I already feel sooo much better and in two days, the bleeding has stopped.  It's wonderful.  I'm so grateful for that.  

Anyway, I'm having a hard time wrapping up this entry. But, it must be done.  This is the end of a bad chapter for us.  The sad loss of sweet Milo and health concerns.  I hope to return to my old, neurotic, anxious self soon.  Here's to a wonderful 2011 from mid-February to December.  

Had to add this picture, because it is so stinkin' cute.  This is one of the reasons I'm alive and well.  I've got work to do! Hallelujah!
