Prayers

While I have always been one to share most of what is going on in my life.  This past week/month has been a little more than I can handle to say the least.  First many of you know my daddy was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes after getting very ill so that in itself was an adjustment and I know its treatable still very scary to us.  We started adjusting to this news and then we got the call from Chris's mom that his brother was sick and could Chris come right away.  They ended up taking him to the hospital and after 4 days we were told the he had Cancer.  Now that word in itself is terrifying your mind goes to many different places and you try to adjust.  They told us it was prostate cancer...well okay we can deal with that because it is very treatable...well then they told us it was in his bones on his spine and lower back. Well this is bad once it gets in your bones there is a less chance of treating it.  I have to say this was a lot to deal with.  I said we were going to have a better year and deal with everything the best we can.  This news set me back and I felt like I was walking around in a dream for the last week.  Michael goes to the Urologist on Thursday to get a biopsy done and then the next week we meet with the Urologist for the test results, stage, treatment options (if any), and where we go next.  While I tell you this, please do not feel sorry for us we are a strong family and we love each other and we will make it through this (or at least I keep telling myself that)  I have to stay positive and tackle each bit of news head on and just help our family the best way I know how.  While this will be a battle we fight for a while and something we will always deal with I do know several things:
1) My husband is my rock and now its my turn to be his
2) I have an amazing support system from my parents helping with my kids and helping Chris and I deal with this.
3) I have some AMAZING friends who have checked on us this week and have offered to help in any way possible
4.) My bestie who brought me one of my favorite lunches this week just becasue she knew I was exhausted and needed it.  I am so blessed to have such a great person in my life who I know will help me through this.  I love ya Kelsy :)
5) God and Prayer....with him all is possible and with prayer many things can happen so please as you read this just say a little prayer for us.
