This Makes More Sense
Scott and I settled down enough to talk about the radiologists reading of his MRI. It is not the cerebral artery that is swollen. It is the right side of his brain that is swelling. This could be a number of things, radiation therapy from 15 years ago, chemo, scar tissue, necrosis etc. The swelling in the brain has shifted the cerebral artery to the left side of the brain. If the artery continues to shift it will have no where to go. If it has no where to go or it gets pinched off if can cause a stroke or death. The radiologist said the tumor is stable. Now we wait until our appt. on th 3rd.

Today at church there was a story told that really hit home. “The story was about a married couple and the battle the wife has had with cancer. The Husband, Dale, would right a journal online just to let everyone know how his wife is doing. One of his last comments was she is comfortable, she is able to wake up and have a good 5 minute conversation with her husband about 6 or 7 times a day. Dale then said that he has never appreciated a 5 minute period so much in his life. In those 5 minutes he tells her how much he loves her, how much he needs her, and how much he will miss her. Its only 5 minutes but it could be there last.....”
This really hit home with me because of what our family is going through and made me think of you and dad, I’m starting to realize I haven’t appreciated the things I have had in life and I have taken a lot things for granted. Everyone seems to think life is good and there are no worries until it’s there turn to experience the trials of life. So today or even better everyday, Im going to sit down and think about what I have and how quickly it could be gone. I like to give thanks to you for taking care of the only man in my life who I can call my dad. It takes a real angel to do what you have done for him. You both are amazing, as I make the changes in my life to be a better person, I only pray I can become at least half of the person you are. I look up to you for the dedication and love you have for him and I hope I can only find that in myself one day to be able to give that to someone that I truly care about! You are an AMAZING woman mom, and I love you!!
As they closed the session today these are the words that I left with…
“Today pick up your phone and call the ones you don't see everyday, the ones you don't talk to everyday and say I love you. Have them remember how much you still care. Hug the person closest to your heart right now or even the next person you see and tell them how much you appreciate them and all the things they have done for you no matter how small those things may be.”
“Just remember its only 5 minutes, 5 minutes to give praise for all the things that we don’t think about that make our lives what it is today.”
;) Love you & Dad a bunch!! and I think about you two on a daily basis.
