Yea, me too But alas.... Took Brookster in for her kindy check up, thyroid blood draw and oh, while were there, lets check her tinkle again for giggles. There is still blood in her tinkle. I swear, i'm gunna scream!!!! So now we are being sent to Doernbeckers to a pee"oligist" for some kidney function test, ultrasound to make sure they are shaped right huh? and some other stuff. Dr Tami did say the last thing that comes to her mind is a tethered spinal cord. WTH? I told her I wanted to hear nothing of that and we would go to the pee doctor and see him first. I'm off to the funny farm.... <----- not joking LOL

Well Chris, we wait for the results to get back now. 3-4 weeks. Got her some good pain meds from the doc today. Poor girl was up all night hollerin' in pain. Tylenol just wasn't cutting it. Forgot to get the nausea meds though. The worst part of this whole thing is I should of known somethign was wrong months ago. She has had this awful cough and has been throwing up at night for weeks. I take her in and doc says stress barfs and asthma/alergy coughing. Now* it is all starting to make sence why all this stuff..... barfs and a cronic cough are the top two symptoms of Melanoma..........*duhhhh Mom!! Thx for thinking of Mary girl. BTW... we have 5 more baby bunnies

Mary will have surgery on her foot tomorrow afternoon 1pm. They will cut out/off more of her foot area and then when they did a full exam and followed her limph node line (?), they found another spot up by her bra line so they will take that area too. There are three clinics who deal w/ this type of melanoma, San Fran, Chicago and NY. They will send off all of these "areas" to San Fran for further review. They will also be doing some sort of Sentinel Limph Node Mapping as well. Something about this cough that the doc has always called asthma, they are not so sure Always something...ughhhh. So the bigger tests they will do on the areas will be back in about three weeks. Untill then she will miss a few days of school and then we will wait, I guess. My Sissy will come w/ us tomorrow as Gramma has to work. Then, as soon as I walk in the door, the place I have had two interviews w/ called. All my references love me and they want me to please work for htem they said. I said well Thursday adn Friday are out but anytime after that will be fine. Thank God it's the graveyard shift I'll be working in the new realease sergical ward of a huge retirement/rehab center Wooot!!

Thx Chris. My Mom will be here in a minute and we will leave. Mary has no idea what Melanoma is. Her doc and I aggreed to just tell her some other docs want to look at her foot too b/c she is so unique just like her mouth/jaw issues. As long as the doc uses big doctor words I can break it down for Mary in words/terms she will understand. Even though she is 17 yrs old she still is D.D. so I have to keep that in mind and use appropiate terms for her mind to comprehend. Moms here.... gotta go.

that I HATE CANCER!!!!! You guys, it's Mary this time. S*%T!! She had a "thing/bump" on her foot. I took her to the doc. They cut it off and sent it for biopsy. Finally three weeks later, after they sent it to OHSU to the big wig doc, her doc called today. "Jennifer" she said "Do you have a minute?" "Yeaaa..... whats up?" "Jennifer, that thing on mays foot..... it's Melanoma." "F*&K!!!".."Oops sorry doctor" "It's ok. You need to get her to the OHSU doc at 6am tomorrow for more testing and maybe more surgery on her foot. They will be waiting for you" "Ok doctor, I will" Why does God think i'm this strong? I'm telling ya, I fell to the ground like a pile of puddy. This sucks!! Of corse i'll keep ya'll updated. My Mom wants to go w/ us in the morning. I just dont know anymore right now. If you could, say a Prayer for Mary

Two things i'm banking into my memory....polietly livid *love it* and steel fist in a velvet glove *love it more* Those are classic!!! I'm so glad it ended up turning out well. I too, have to have the evals before the meeting. If I don't, no meeting. I scan them, disreguard the bull pucky ones, write VOID in red marker on the top and file them away LOL. The ones I agree with are talked about at the meeting. So far this year for kindy all has been going smoothly
