About Me

My photo
I have been married 5 years to the love of my life and best friend, Shawn. We have a 4 year old son, Landon Michael and a soon to be 12 month old, Levi David, they mean the world to us. I am a stay-at-home-mom and I try to savor every single moment I spend with my boys. Landon was born with a rare intestinal disorder, "Intestinal Lymphangiectasia", which means his intestine does not absorb fats and proteins normally and we have struggled and continue to struggle with his Gastrointestinal issues. He was also born with a narrow airway and laryngomalasia which has caused a lot of breathing issues and for the first year and a half of his life he had 8 cases of severe croup,3 of them ending in a hospital stay, and 1 of those times he ended up intubated and on a paralytic (putting him in an induced coma) for 4 days, the hardest times thus far. I have learned more about myself and my surroundings in the past 4 years since becoming a mom then I have and probably EVER will. My family is my everything and I strive every single day to be the best wife and mom I can be.

BENIGN!!!

Results came in last Friday, I recieved both a postcard in the mail and a phone call letting me know that all the biopsies ended up being benign! The phone call scared me at first since I first got the postcard in the mail and thought "Crap, they messed something up and now I'm going to pay for getting too excited and relieved" but they just wanted me to know that although they found "abnormal cells" in the concerning mole on my back there was no sign of cancer cells. Shawn was so excited and said, "I think we should frame this card, it is in fact the first time you've ever recieved good news from a pathologist!" I just thought wow that would not be something I would want to explain to anyone who happened to visit our house and see a framed postcard from a dermatologist's office, AND I wouldn't want it to jinx me in some way ;)
I didn't realize just how much weight would be lifted off my shoulders when I found out the results were all benign, I literally didn't know what to do with myself, I guess I also hadn't realized that I fully prepared myself for anything but a benign result, it was a really great feeling, and I hope it won't be the last time I have that type of feeling. Well, that is all, I just figured I should update my blog with the good news before I completely forgot about that whole experience of waiting to find out whether or not I would have cancer once again. Thank God! I feel very blessed in SO many ways! Thank you for the prayers, positive thoughts and for reading my blog, even though I'm yet to be a consistent, reliable blogger hah! Take care! and remember to check your body for any changing, sensitive, weird looking moles! Seriously...I would hate to think what would've happened if I hadn't gotten them taken care of, those "abnormal cells" could've easily changed to active cancer cells.
Love XoXo
