Thank you for all your love and support, it has been tangible, and really helped on those hard days. One day I was running and I was feeling a little sorry for myself and the thought hit me that if so many people could be praying for me and fasting for me then I can have the will to get through this. Your prayers are being felt and I can't express how much we love you and appreciate your thoughts on our behalf.

A Long Weekend
This weekend has been a long weekend. I had my surgery on Friday. When I went into surgery the nurse asked me how I was and I said "physically okay, emotionally not so good." She brought me a teddy bear:) The surgery went well and the doctor said he "got good margins", I am not quite sure what margins he means, lymph nodes, chest, or breast, but it sounds like a good thing, I will find out more about he surgery when I meet with him on monday. The surgeon did find cancer in one of my lymph nodes so they took them all out and we are waiting for the pathology report which should be back at the end of this week. Friday I hardly remember, I was very groogy, and slept most of the day. Saturday I was a lot more awake and feeling okay and ready to come home. I spent most of day just sitting on the couch and sleeping. Mike was wonderful! What a way to spend your valentines day, he is amazing! The kids have been so fun to be around they are my joy and light on those sad dark days. I love my family and give thanks for them everyday but now my prayers tend to a bit little more sincere. Today is Sunday and I am home while the family is at church. I appreciate this time for some thinking, pondering, and praying. I appreciate all that my kids do for me including distracting me from what is happening, but every once in awhile I appreciate these moments of quiet. Today at breakfast prayers Nathan thanked Heavenly Father "for Mommy almost being all better". I love his "half-cup full" attitude. I need to apply that more often I think through this process.
