Please continue your prayers, I love you guys

• Well, I think I need to get things out in the open now. A few of you really know what's going on. My mom is still sick in the hospital. It's not just a foot infection. She has brain cancer, and there's a spot or two in her lungs. This isn't officially confirmed until her biopsies, but the doctors are pretty sure. She started on steroids today to reduce the swelling so she can get a biopsy done. She'll be using steroids and getting radiation treatment, a lot of radiation treatment. Her kidneys are holding up okay for now, they're giving her a double dose of her regular kidney medicine to make sure things are working. At the moment all any of us can do is pray and ride out the storm. This just seems so unfair because my mom doesn't deserve any of this. Name an illness and she's had it in some form, it seems that way. I know that everything happens for a reason, and God has it in his plan for this to happen. Still, it seems way too unfair. Especially around the holidays.
  
• Mom seems to be holding up okay. She was really positive when I came to visit her earlier. She was so happy to see me, as if it had been years, not just 3 days. I've been so busy working and trying to get in sleep that I haven't had much time to see her. Since starting on the steriods she seems a bit more coherrent, and a lot happier then she was when I last saw her on Monday.
  
• Today was Thanksgiving and it's the second year in a row I spent it at a hospital. This time last year Dad was in ICU on a respirator with a really really bad case of pneumonia. This year it's Mom's turn, and it's a lot more serious. Miracles can happen, maybe Mom can get better. And maybe she won't, I'm just so happy to spend as much time as I can with her and remember the happy times we've had over the past 27 years.
  
• A few of you have called with Thanksgiving well wishes, and I either didn't answer the phone or cut the call short. I wasn't meaning to be rude, and I love you. Right now I'm just getting the strength to blog about this and I didn't feel like being a weinee and crying over the phone. I also didn't want to put a damper on anyone else's Thanksgiving with bad news. I love you all, and I have the best most supportive friends ever. No matter what happens, I have a great bunch of people to help me through this. And Jesus Christ of course. Please pray for me, and my family at this really rough time, and have an extra leftover piece of pumpkin pie, just for me. If you don't like pumpkin, eat apple pie. Even ice cream, I'm not picky. I love desserts. See, that made me feel a little better.
