Sorry this is long, I just C&Pd it.
I went to Henry Ford Hospital last Friday for an additional exploratory look into my belly with a scope. From what the doctor told me, there are three layers to the stomach and my cancer has penetrated all three layers. Everything went well, I only had a sore throat because of the camera that they put down my throat.
My chemotherapy was supposed to start tomorrow but I've been scheduled for an exploratory surgery tomorrow so now chemo is scheduled for Monday. I hope they don't change it again!!
On a VERY happy note, we had an addition to our family!! Our daughter And her husband had their baby on Sunday morning. Baby R. is doing very well, even for a seven week early arrival. Baby weighed 4 lbs. and is 15 3/4 inches long. Mother and baby are both fine, thank you Jesus. I have prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe every single day since they told us they were having a baby. I knew that our Blessed Mother would wrap her in protection. Glory be to God!!!
So, surgery tomorrow, baby shower, which is now a belated birthday party for the baby on Sunday, and chemotherapy on Monday.
Special shout out to my friends Tami B.D. who made me a beautiful pillowcase with the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It's beautiful and gives me conform to know that I get to lay down my head with her right next to me.
For all of the cards, messages, emails, notes, etc., THANK YOU. Thank you for praying for me and my family. I feel so loved and that's not something everyone can say.
One of my favorite songs is "Until the Whole World Hears" by Casting Crowns. Here are the lyrics. Go check them out on YouTube.

Lord, I want to feel your heart And see the world through your eyes I want to be your hands and feet I want to live a life that leads Ready yourselves, ready yourselves Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night Ready yourselves, ready yourselves May the powers of darkness tremble as our praises rise Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out Lifting up your name for all to hear the sound Like voices in the wilderness, we're crying out And as the day draws near We'll sing until the whole world hears Lord, let your sleeping giant rise Catch the demons by surprise Holy nation sanctified Let this be our battle cry Ready yourselves, ready yourselves Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night Ready yourselves, ready yourselves May the powers of darkness tremble as our praises rise Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out Lifting up your name for all to hear the sound Like voices in the wilderness, we're crying out And as the day draws near We'll sing until the whole world hears We'll sing until the whole world hears We'll sing until the whole world hears I want to be your hands and feet I want live a life that leads To see you set the captive free Until the whole world hears And I pray that they will see More of you and less of me Lord, I want my life to be The song You sing Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out Lifting your name up for all to hear the sound Like voices in the wilderness, we're crying out And as the day draws near We'll sing until the whole world hears
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown
I heard a wonderful message a while ago that I want to share with you since we share a faith. The pastor talked about the fact that we are God's children and He decides the course of our lives. He said we are bulletproof on Earth until God decides He wants us home. Therefore we shouldn't live in fear of anything. It really helped me remain calm when I had a health scare a few months ago. I hope it does the same for you.
I'll be thinking an praying for you many hugs. We can be your strength , your support, or your many shoulders to cry upon. Our strength is here for you at any time any hugs.

Since this was posted yesterday I'm assuming your surgery is today, so good luck today! I hope it's an easy recovery. And I hope your daughter's shower is extra special. Hugs to you and your clan.
