Families are Forever

Okay, biopsy is done. It was totally awful, and I hope I never have to do that again. Afterwards, I reviewed all of my bloodwork with the doctor. The good news is that I am pretty healthy. All of my hormone levels, including thyroid, came back normal. My cholesterol is still high, but lower than it was. The doctor said we need to wait for the results of the biopsy, which should be in about a week. Then, we can go from there. I was glad that there is nothing really wrong with me, but at the same time, it would have been nice to get some answers. I am a little bruised and swollen, but doing good. I have been able to cook, clean and even do some canning the last couple of weeks. I am starting to feel better generally, but try to listen to my body when it tells me that I need to rest. Thanks for all the prayers in my behalf. I can really tell that there is a higher power at work protecting our family.
Jed is still in NYC, and we are not sure when he will be home. It keeps changing, so it's hard to tell. It could be anytime in the next couple of weeks. If the results of my biopsy are bad news, he will come home immediately.
The kids are still doing good. Life at our house during the school year is rather boring. It doesn't change much. I am glad that the kids are dedicated to their studies though. It really eases my mind. I want them to get the best education that they can.
My Aunt Bernice and Uncle Jerry have been to Arizona to visit with their own children and grandchildren. It has been nice to visit with them some and talk on the phone and through email when they are here. It's nice to keep in touch with extended family, and to feel their love for us as well. Thanks to you Bernice for going out of your way to include me. It means a lot.
I just want to say that I am very grateful for my ward. They are constantly checking on us and making sure we are okay. I am glad to know that all the help I need is just a phone call away. I know that everything is going to be okay, and that I have the support I need even when Jed is away. Thanks everyone for all you do.
As far as the comments go from last time: @ Merideth, I know you have been crazy busy. No worries. But I would love to go to the bread store when you get around to it. @ Melissa, One of the things I miss most about Utah is my chiropractor. I loved going to him. He works from a natural point of view which I loved. I haven't found one here yet that I like. I have had blessings, and if the time comes that I do need surgery and treatment on my thyroid, I would love to do a family fast, if only to ease my nerves!!! Thanks for thinking of me, and keeping me in your prayers. Love ya.
Until next time, probably next Monday or Tuesday after I get my biopsy results,
