Fear of the unknown

We all have experienced the fear of the unknown.

It can drive you crazy until you get the news.

Whether it be good news or bad news,

it can be handled once you know the truth.

Our family has always been one that can

handle even more than the ordinary,

as soon as we know what we are facing.

Funny, when I hear of others having breast cancer

I may cry out of empathy for them

yet when our own sister was diagnosed with

her second bout of breast cancer I don't know

if I shed one tear.

Why? Because it is the way our family rolls.

We can handle anything once we know what we

have to do.

I hope Celena is not offended by the fact that

I must speak of her this morning. To speak of

her personal life I'm not sure I should do but

to speak of nothing, to not ask for prayers on her

behalf would just not be me.

I won't go into big detail right now in hopes that

maybe C will share with us once she is ready, once she

knows just what she is facing.

The fact is we really don't know what she is facing yet.

I will just say this,

she hasn't been feeling well lately and she has

had some tests that have turned out not so good.

She and her little family as well as her extended family

are caught right now in the

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

part of this medical thing.

She will be seeing a surgeon tomorrow and a probable

second opinion on Friday at Ocshner's

She will definitely need surgery to remove

her gallbladder but there is some suspicion

that this will be a little more complicated than

removing her gallbladder. There is a suspicious

lump there.

So please pray for our sister as she faces whatever

is in her future here.

Prayers can do wonders, it unblocked my colon.

Hopefully we will have good news soon

and I also hope that C will keep us all posted

on this blog.

Please be kind and give them time to absorb

all this information when she gets it.

I promise we will keep all of you posted.
