Mamma Mia!

The movie was fabulous! My mom, sister, and I had an impromptu girls' night out and decided we would give it a shot. We could sing along with most of the songs, which is always a plus for the "Smith" girls, and we laughed out loud through the entire movie. We actually don't get out often (just the girls) without the rest of the crew, so it was nice to do something together that the three of us all enjoyed.

It ended up serving as a great distraction the night before my mom went to see her specialist to get the results of her "pet scan". (No, it doesn't involve man's best friend.) Apparently live (possibly cancerous) cells love sugar. So during the pet scan, they injected sugar into her body and watched to see where it went and if it attracted to any cells. Hers did clump up around the suspicious spot on her lungs. So, the next step is to have a needle biopsy so that the doctor can determine exactly what type of cells we are dealing with and where to go from here. This biopsy is scheduled for next week. Please continue to pray for her healing as well as comfort and strength as we all wait in limbo for the results.

Prayers


My mom called this morning to let me know that her doctor contacted her regarding a suspicious "spot" on a recent chest scan. Apparently there is something in one of her lungs and she will need to have a biopsy or pet scan to determine what it is.

At that moment Satan starting trying to creep in . . . trying to convince me that this would ultimately end up bad. But I don't believe that! Satan has no power over me or my family! My prayer today is that God will heal her of whatever may be wrong. I believe that she will be fine. I know that prayer is powerful and that God still works miracles today. Please join me in this prayer for strength, health, and peace in His presence.
