It’s not good, but it could be worse

Got some phone calls from my daughter’s doctor on Friday. We have an appointment with a bladder/kidney specialist on Tuesday. He is a urologist and I trust my daughters doctor completely in that she would only send us to someone she would take her own children too.

Anyway, we are awaiting the new appointment because a lesion/ulcer/growth has been found in my daughter’s bladder wall. Of course, being the type A person I am I have Googled every word that the doctor gave to me over the phone this last week. You know us women, we worry a problem in to oblivion and when it comes back somewhere between nothing and deathbed we are OK with things. I have worried about everything from a non-invasive growth to bladder cancer in the span of three days. Talk about being worn out.

Again I am asking for prayers for my family and especially my daughter. I know that the doctors that we are going to are super skilled and talented. I know that God has a reason for this test and I am sure before it is over I am going to wonder why it has been placed here at all. I pray that I can find peace because right now, between the worry of having to tell my daughter and the worry of what may/may not happen has gotten me to the point of not sleeping.

On a lighter note, we have a new member of the family. A good friend of mine has allowed us to rescue her AKC registered chocolate lab. They were going to have to get rid of her and I couldn’t see that happening in a good way. Therefore, we got her and she is so sweet. Our cat doesn’t love her yet and she has been here less than a day, but over all things seem to be going well. Pray that they will continue to go well and that we can keep her with us.

Well, I am going to sign off now. I have a few things to do before the girls get home from their father’s house. Plus I got this really cool Disney Photomosaic puzzle that I want to get started on. I love mosaic pictures and to have a puzzle that is supposed to eventually look like Mickey Mouse, but be out of a whole bunch of other pics is really fascinating to me.

Hope you all have a blessed weekend.
