This week is so much better than last week. God does know our needs and meets us where we are. Last week was quite stressful. I spent the day at Mayo on Friday. I met with a doctor and a radiologist. I had a repeat mammogram and ultrasound and they were confident that what I was feeling was normal breast tissue. The first mammogram showed possible distortion on film in my right breast. They explained that all breasts are not equal in size and in what we may be feeling. So I was given a clean slate and do not have to return until I am forty unless I find something sooner.
Yesterday we received a call from the director of Early Steps. She said after reading our paperwork she thought part C funds should cover all of it. Because of her and our service coordinator it will be provided for us at no cost. The stander is a grow with me stander and will last for 5 years if we need it !!!! Praise the Lord!!! We are hoping to have it in about two weeks. Caroline seems to be ready to move to the next level with assistance in standing. She will also be able to see things from a new perspective.
We are now working on getting the column repaired that I backed into last Tuesday. My dad may fix it, but we are also getting a few quotes this week.
Thank you God for still being God and providing and reminding us you are always in total control even when we are weak!!!!!

Going to Mayo tomorrow
I went to my OB she was pretty sure things were fine according to her report. I asked if she looked at my films and she said no we do not get your films. I said oh. I was hoping for someone to show them to me and explain differences and what we are really looking at. I am so used to all Caroline's docs doing this as a routine thing. So after talking to Cameron and two other ladies whose cancer was not detected by mammograms at 35 I am going to get a second opinion before I stop worrying altogether.
So Alas!!!! Mayo called me last night and this am and said they could bump me from July 2 to tomorrow if I can swing by the imaging center tomorrow and hand deliver my films. So pray for a clear confirmation. Cameron will keep the girls for me tomorrow am for a few hours while I talk to Dr. Hines at the breast clinic tomorrow at 10am. I appreciate your prayers at this time.

Updates
Caroline is getting her g- tube out on June 19 @ 2:30PM. Yeah!!! We are so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
She has developed a little bump behind her tummy and we hope it is only scar tissue. She will probably have an ultrasound before we remove it. So pray it is nothing major.
She has also been approved for Early Intervention to cover 1,500 of the cost of her stander device. We hope to receive this by July. We HOPE!!!! We have also reached our out of pocket family deductibles so our insurance is at 100% until March 1. All meds and appointments for all of us will free and covered by insurance. This is also a huge blessing!!!!!
The not so good news.... Had a bad day...yesterday. It involved me and a car and our house. I backed into one of our columns yesterday and it is damaged and will need to be repaired. Then went immediately to Caroline's Dr appt and straight to dance for Carley. No time to cry over spilt milk!!! Anyway I talked to my dad and he thinks he can fix it like new!!!
The car has hardly any damage so we will get it fixed or rather painted eventually.
I had a mammogram done two weeks ago. Got results last Wed. My left breast is fine. My right one is questionable. I will go to the OB today to discuss films and get them to send them to MAYO breast clinic. I also have an appointment for July 2 at the breast clinic to decide more testing or biopsy to make sure it is benign. Please pray that it is not cancerous. I know it is early and I am young, but I am overly stressed and do not think I can handle another surgery, appointments and a bad report. Anyway----- Looking forward to swimming lessons and dance being done. I really need to take a break and put everything on hold. For some reason I am not able to really do that. Mayo is trying to get me in sooner and asked me to overnight films today so I can possibly get in by this month. Just be in prayer for me to be peaceful, think clearly and take care of my family without a clouded mind.

Kim Turns 35 on June 3rd
I bought a birthday cake for Kim and we ate it with the kids tonight. Her birthday is actually tomorrow June 3rd but we ate cake tonight. I thought we had candles at the house so I did not buy them and we had to use matches for candles on her cake.

A Mommy Moment
Today we met some friends at the town center and dropped into JoAnn Fabrics and then into Ross. While we were in Ross we were searching for birthday presents and fun finds. It was a quick 40 minute stop with two kids. I tried to enjoy myself, but they kept dropping books and asking how many we were buying. We actually did not buy any books. We were attempting to get back into the car with the baby in arms, Carley walking to her car seat across the van holding herself telling me I have to PEE!!!! We are still trying to get this all translated to I need to use the restroom. So I knew we were not going to make it anywhere to the restroom. We had the stroller in the parking lot. So I decided to strap Caroline in and discreetley as possible allow Carley to PEE in the parking lot. We removed panties and shoes and I got sprayed and used baby wipes and tried not to be annoyed as we still had to make it to Chick -fil-a for lunch. So by 12 noon I had had a full day indeed!!!!!
