The results are in and it is the best possible news! The tumor came back benign at a grade 1. THANK YOU Lord!!! Our God is so good and I am just over the moon with the opportunity He is giving me to be a light for Him and to be a wife and mommy who lives to glorify His Almighty name.
There will need to be a second surgery, chemo or radiation to remove the other half of it. I believe we discuss the plan of action in a couple weeks at the next check up.
Thank you all so much for the prayers and love-God heard us and this mommy is doing her happy dance!!! XOXO

2 weeks post-op update.
Recovery is going well. God’s mercy is SO real and He is showering me with grace to get through each day. Small and large victories are being had; right leg is still half asleep, but I am able to walk on my own, I am able to write and remember things here and there, change diapers, make bottles, etc. With the exception of a ER visit Sunday night due to numbness and tingling (Me totally overdoing it like a stubborn donkey) I simply can’t believe the miracle in the recovery of brain surgery. Each day is so different and each minute holds a different challenge or joy…it is good. God is good and He has shown me kindness I don’t deserve in this whole process. I know it is not this smooth for most people and I am thankful for what I have been given, my cup truly overfloweth. The love and care I have recieved from the people around me has been exemplary, godly and I just can’t help but be HAPPY for ALL God has provided and the many ways I know He cares for me! It is SO wonderful to be able to understand God’s truths and scripture in such an authentic way, it makes this whole trial worth everything we all have to sacrifice.
I went to the doc to get the stinky staples out (YAY FOR SHOWERS, Chad says double yay) and get the results from the pathology report, and well the metal came out but no results yet. Strangely enough, God has removed all anxiousness and given me His perfect peace He promises, so results will wait and in the meantime I think I have a fantastic reason to shovel cookies in the face hand over fist. 😉
Thank you for the continued prayers and encouragement, you all are lifting me up and I truly am doing well! Quite spoiled actually. My house has never been so clean and I am eating 5 star meals each night thanks to our church body and dear friends mad cooking skillz. Our wonderful church also made me a beautiful prayer quilt which means the world to me, I will always have that to help me remember how much I have been prayed for.
And lastly, an update on my little people, they are doing amazing. Such sweet loving little men who are listening and growing and loving on their mommy. So proud of how they are handling the schedules and change in their lives. What could be so difficult has been relatively easy in terms of transition. -
An update for all my peeps…
Uhm where to start? First of all thank you all I love each of you so much. For every single act of love, word or verse of encouragement. I can’t convey for a single moment what the gravity of your outreach has meant to my family and myself. The sweet words have been such a light for me and I have you all to thank.My writing is faulty and I send my my condolences for the interpretation head ache.So about 36 weeks in to the pregnancy, things got pretty scary in terms of being unable to function independently. I didn’t know how to drive, my right from left, stupid things like that. Post partum, things just got worse. After a lot of confusion and some massive headaches landed me in the ER, we found out there was in fact a baseball size tumor on my back part of my brain. God’s faithfulness provided so perfectly a team of doctors, support system I could have never dared to dream about through a church family and friends who have completely bathed me in Gods loving hands. We don’t have any info other than they had to take it out. We get the patholology report this week or next.
God is much bigger than I dare assume, and I will trust in His restorative plan that He has set in place. I will do my best to keep you all updated as we learn the results and learn what the implications of this are, but in the midst of this please continue to offer prayers of thanksgiving and for all that He has already provided in His merciful and righteous hands. I love you all and am so overcome by the love you have shown.Lastly and most importantly, I need to thank my ROCK of a loving husband who has been by side loving me taking care of me and protecting me this whole time without ceasing. My parents and my loving in laws who have just bent over backwards to ensure each and every need is met with abundance. I can’t begin to describe the feeling of serenity to know how deeply loved I am and the priviledge that comes with being your wife, daughter, friend…God is love. xo -
38 weeks and leaking.
Hoping it is legit but experience tells me I needed to start kegals 2 prenancies ago. So I will just share the embarassing details.
Moving on, so a not funny thing has happened. My brain is total mush and I feel like I have suffered a stroke. ok not a real one, but a pretend one where your brain feels like scrambled eggs and like you have been huffing sharpie fumes eighth grade style for the past 12 years. Has anyone had this? I literally cant type or think straight which is why I haven’t blogged in over a month. This paragraph alone took me the better half of an hour, I know boo hoo betty, get over it. Just wanted to put my mental cards on the table. I am not capable of much at the moment so please don’t take offense if I don’t write back right away or call you the wrong name. -
Day 23
Oopsie. Well; only a week behind. I gave you fair warning, I am flaky. Speaking of, lets move on to the NON flaky people in my life whom I love.
Today I am thankful for the friendships I have in my life. I have the BEST friends who know me and still love me, who encourage me and continue to show love in all sorts of fun ways. I love my girls and am so blessed by each lady God has providentially placed into my little life.
