Brenda

Brenda had two biopsies done today and is looking at having surgery very quickly.  Sounds like they are pretty sure it is cancer but are waiting for results to see which kind so the best treatment can be given.  Life changes quickly again and Brenda is trying to absorb all of this information while also letting Kristina know and reassuring her.  When Brenda has surgery she will be in the hospital for two days and I don't think they have spent a night apart since Kristina spent time in the NICU when she was born.  This will be very hard on both of them.  For now we wait to hear results of the biopsies and trust that God is in control.  Kristina starts 1st grade in a couple weeks and Brenda will have surgery after that but it sounds like the next four days are the most critical in finding out the specific kind of cancer.  On a better note, gpa, gma, kristina and anita had fun going to the Dorothy Pecaut Center today to look at all kinds of critters and then went on a little hike.  They had a snack on a picnic bench and went to visit gma cline before eating mcdonalds.  Sounded like a great morning before heading home for a snack and hearing from Brenda after her appointment.  Other news I had been concerned about was that Holly thought she was pregnant.  I have been sad for everyone in thinking about the effect on Anita and the rest of the kids.  She called tonight to say she is not pregnant but now the search begins for why she has been so ill for three weeks.  This weekend we will go to Hull to celebrate Maddie and Lucy's birthdays.  They were both born on August 18th.  Lucy loves Dora and is getting a Dora doll.  Maddie loves Justin Bieber and is getting a t'shirt of him.  Should be a fun time for all the kids.
