I had my biopsy on Monday and they were able to get a big piece of tissue. The pathologist took a look see and saw NO cancer cells. I have to wait until the 24th for conclusive results but for now that is good news. I have a nasty looking scar on my neck right now but it will heal. They think it's Sarcoidosis and I'll follow up with Dr. Tyner if it is and probably be on prednisone. I've gotten alot of cards and phone calls of support. Em brought me flowers and Tara sent me a couple of cards and a plaque. I'll tell ya it really makes youy do a life assessment. The things I used to think were important aren't so much. I'm also proud of the number of lives I've touched and been touched by. That's the measure of a life. It's a good day to live MacDougal!!!!!!!

I had a great time visiting with you today. I'm glad you got to feel Brynn kick too. It's a pretty amazing feeling and I'm glad you got to share it with me. You are going to be such a wonderful grandma, and I am so glad that you will be healthy and full of strength and energy when Brynn gets here. With all of the kicking she does now, I think you will need all of the energy you have when she gets here!
