June 3: The Beginning

Today started out like any other day!  The first official day of summer vacation.  Who would have thought, waking up in the morning what a drastic change life was about to take.  My mom went in for an x-ray to figure out why she couldn't get rid of a RECENT cough.  At 5:00 P.M. the doctor called and told her she had the results from her x-ray.  She was told to bring support--not a good sign.  My dad was at work.  Jace and I went with her.  The results revealed numerous lesions in her lungs.  Possible cancer, didn't know the source.  For a minute the world stopped.  What next?  Of course it was the weekend, had to wait til Monday for further testing.  Longest weekend ever!  Mind wandering:  When? Where?  Why?  How?  She had done ALL the screenings you are "supposed" to do.  All came back clear.  What is going on!!
