Today is Saturday, it's been 15 days since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This is for sure the hardest thing ever - but so far, the worst day was the 16th, at noon. I remain positive, and know that I will beat this...I have too much to do here:)
Today, I took the girls shopping and got them new shoes...I love doing that with them - there's just something about a girl and new shoes... Maddie got converse, which was no surprise, and Gracie got sparkly TOMS...
I'm so grateful for all of the love and support that I continue to get...I am blessed.
So now, I wait more...for my BSGI on Wednesday, at First Hill (Swedish)...then results on Friday...this is the hard part...waiting...
I am thankful for each moment, and for all that I have...this really puts everything into perspective - that's for sure...
You definitely have my prayers and so many others'! :) April
ReplyDeleteThe waiting is the most difficult, but it offers a chance to grow in faith. I am proud to walk with journey with you knowing that as difficult as it is and will be, you have a courgeous spirit, lots of love, and are special! Love you ....
ReplyDeleteJohn 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it saith the Lord.
ReplyDeleteLord we are asking for healing for Kirstin, wisdom for the doctors, compassion from the doctors and nurses, peace for the family and your tender mercy. Kirstin we love you and so does the Lord HE will bring you through the "fire"
You rule. That is all. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so tired...a good night sleep would be so nice...I feel like I have a newborn or something:) As my BSGI gets closer, I am feeling more and more scared...just for the unknown...why is it that we want to be in control of everything??? Even if I was, there's not much I could do about this one...I am looking forward to knowing the plan, and what exactly is going on... I am thankful for the incredible people that are in my life...thanks to them, I move on, and have better days:) I am staying strong for my Maddie and Grace...this is too big for me to even know what to tell them - so I have not told them anything yet...I will research how and when to tell them, so they don't have to be scared...
ReplyDeleteTeaching is also a blessing - I have the sweetest kids...making me cards and pictures to encourage me (and make me cry), wearing pink bracelets, bringing me treats...and I can keep going because I see that twinkle in their eye...Yes, kids, Mrs. Holstrom WILL be okay!!!
I feel stress in my chest tonight...trying to take deeper breaths...so, one more day to wait before I get my BSGI...then Thursday to wait - which just so happened to be Crazy Hair Day at school - thanks to my sister, I have the BEST wig to rock with!!! Then Friday morning, I will get my results, and begin to make a plan for how this will go....
So, until then, keep those prayers and good thoughts coming...I SO appreciate all of the love and support...Bless you all...
NOW, I'm going to snuggle with my girls:)
