Angie, please do me a favour, and give you mom a huge big loving warm hug from me! We are right here for all of you, thinking of you, sending special thoughts, and praying for all to be well! Stay strong girls.

I gave her a hug for you Mandy!

It was hard to see her go through all of those tests and stuff today. It broke my heart to watch her have to drink 2 whole bottles of really gross looking "barium sulfate" so that her CT scan would be easier to read. I wished more than anything I could've done it for her...

We didn't get any results or information today because the tests take a while to process, but hopefully we'll get good news on Thursday (her next appointment).

Thanks Angie, you guys have been on my mind all day. It must have been heartbreaking to see your mom like that, i can imagine.
Stay strong girl, and hugs to you!

Thanks Mandy!

I forgot to mention the "positives" from today. So they gave mom an IV and filled her full of radioactive chemicals while they were giving her a CT scan and also before. We had to wait three hours while her bones absorbed the radiation. Anyway, all day Brendon and I have been making "radiation" jokes like "Mom, please don't use your radioactive superpowers on me!" or "Are you going to microwave us?" or "Don't touch me, I don't want to be radioactive too!" It has definitely been pretty funny and uplifting during a stressful time. It's good to see Mom smile...

Please keep us informed Angie. To think we're both having to worry about our Mothers so much. It is hard watching the tests, etc. they have to go through. I'll keep your Mom in my prayers.

I will definitely keep you informed. I don't want to step on mom's toes and say too much, but I do want you ladies to know at least a little what's going on. I usually say the least amount possible so that Mom can have the opportunity to elaborate if she wants, but I leave it up to her.

As for watching your mother go through all of those tests and still be sick, it is definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, so I completely understand and empathize. Thanks for praying for my mother, I will continue to do the same for yours as well. *hugs*
