An unusual update...

LewisKid1 (8:48:14 AM): you there, Sunshine?

"DP" (8:48:25 AM): I am

"DP" (8:48:28 AM): What's up?

"DP"  (8:48:33 AM): How's your mom?

LewisKid1 (8:48:54 AM): starting radiation again next week... :-(

"DP"  (8:50:07 AM): What is the radiation for?  The tumors in her neck?

LewisKid1 (8:50:33 AM): yeah - unfortunately it has doubled in size despite chemo

LewisKid1 (8:50:39 AM): and there are at least 2 new tumors

LewisKid1 (8:50:49 AM): one under her collar bone and one in her breast

LewisKid1 (8:51:06 AM): they are running MRI's tom. to see if its in her spine and/or belly

"DP"  (8:51:11 AM): oh dear

"DP"  (8:51:17 AM): I know you must be worried sick

LewisKid1 (8:51:32 AM): not really - I mean... thank the Lord she isn't in a lot of pain

LewisKid1 (8:51:46 AM): and we have the best care in the world for her, you know

LewisKid1 (8:51:56 AM): worrying doesn't get you anywhere...

"DP"  (8:52:00 AM): Very true

"DP"  (8:52:08 AM): I'm glad she's not in pain

LewisKid1 (8:52:26 AM): mom's mind isn't really clear, so I don't think she gets the full extent of this

LewisKid1 (8:52:35 AM): but I think that's a blessing in disguise

"DP"  (8:53:04 AM): Does she think she's getting better?

LewisKid1 (8:53:30 AM): I think in the back of her mind, she's thinking they can "cure" her like they did the lung cancer

LewisKid1 (8:53:49 AM): but you know, whether it's denial or FAITH, God can do amazing things!

"DP"  (8:53:55 AM): Yes He can
