Thanks for the prayers.

I am sorry I have been able to update myself, the past week has been very hard on me and all a big blur. I want to stress how very Thankful I am to Tina for keeping everyone updated. I am truly blessed to have a friend like her. She has went over and beyond for me in more than many ways. I Love you Tina and thank you for EVERYTHING.

I also want to thank Denise for dropping everything to be here for us. I love and owe you so much Denise. You are the very very best friend in my life and I do not know what I would do with out you.


I also want to thank my mom for all of her support!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have nothing if it weren't for you mom. Thank you sooooo much. You have taken so much off of my mind and I love you very much!!!!!





Like I said this whole week has been a big blur and a lot of confusion. Today I am not in as much pain as I have been so I feel it is getting better. I don't know where to start so I will start at the beginning.





I woke up from my nap last Friday in an enormous amount of pain. I usually can tolerate pain so I tried to wait it out but it only got worse so I had Alicia go get a friend of mine her at the RMH and it was down hill from there. Another friend got me to the Emergency room and I could barely even sit up. When I finally got back they started an IV and gave me Morphine, which I must say was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They then did a CT scan and it showed a very large cyst on my right ovary so they wanted to do an ultra sound also. The cyst took over two screens on the ultra sound to see it all, it was HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They admitted me and the next morning an OBGYN and Surgeon came in and told me it needed to be removed. By then I was on a pain pump so every six minutes i could push a button and was getting a dose of dilota (sp??) so I was in no pain at all and could not really remember much of what was going on. I did know that my sister was on the way and that Alicia had been admitted to childrens by the order of Dr Davies. I don't remember much from that point, I do remember my friends from the RMH being there (Kim and Amy and Shawn) which they have told me that I was saying some crazy things. Mostly about caring for Alicia. They said kept repeating how she likes her tator tots and I was worried that she wouldn't get them.



I also do not remember much after surgery, Denise said she had talked to me in the recovery room which I do not remember at all and I know my friends were there the whole time and in the room waiting when I got back. They took turns checking on Alicia which I thank them so much for. They helped me sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was told that the cyst was 27 inches long by 12 inches wide and they had to drain 4 liters of fluid off of it to even be able to remove it. I had 22 staples up and down my tummy. I was still in a lot of pain and on the pump til the following day. Denise arrived around ten that night and her and Tina, Keith, Jacy and Cameron stopped at the hospital where I was and I do remember that. I was so at ease then because I knew Alicia would not be alone any more. The next day they took me off the Pain pump and started me on oral pain meds, they got me out of bed and Denise helped me shower. At that point I knew I had to get to Alicia so I insisted on them releasing me the next day. Denise stayed and was a HUGE help the whole week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alicia kept telling everyone my owie was not in my butt any more it was on my tummy.





Now the hard part........................... when they removed the cyst they said I also had a something else hanging from my cervix which they removed along with a biopsy they took from my cervix and it was sent to the pathology lab. Friday when I went to get the staples removed which they only removed half because some were oozing and I am very very bruised, any way the lab reports showed that what they removed and the biopsy both showed cancer. They said it was vital that I have a complete hysterectomy done asap. I was at a loss of words and told them I was not going to do anything or make any decisions until I talked to Dr Davies. My first and utmost concern is Alicia. I can not even bare of the thought of her going through anything without me. I know and have been told a million times in the past few days that if I do not take care of my self that I will not be here for her anyway but that does not matter to me. I know that I will be in the hospital for at least a week and Dr Davies told me Friday that she wants Alica to be admitted to Childrens and under her care while I go through this. Alicia has not ever been alone even for one night her hole entire life. I know they will take care of her but I can not even stand the thought of it. Erika will be here I know it so I decided to wait until she can get here to be with Alicia. She will also be here for a week after. My family all want me to come home but it is not an option.


I will have more answers after my appointment on Monday. I have written down a list of questins and I will let everyone know more than. I ask for many prayers please. This all is so very hard. I thought we were just coming here for a few weeks and we would go home. I was to start my job back this week. I came with nothing and I needed badly to return to work. My family has been a huge support and I thank my mom and Denise so much.

PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
