Initial Diagnosis

So mom was in the hospital on Saturday 1/8.  She was surprisingly weak - to look at she's very petite, but if you know her at all then you understand just how strong and sturdy she normally is.  For her to not be able to stand on her own was frightening to all of us.  She was still able to sit up and communicate, but she was in constant pain.  We all began to understand that something bigger might be happening.

Sunday morning 1/9 came and I wasn't there (my daughter was sick).  I have my news second-hand, but what I understand is that mom continued to be very weak and in pain.  In the mid afternoon, the doctor came and gave the news we NEVER wanted to hear - mom has an acute form of leukemia.  We don't know the specific type yet, but we know we have a longer road to recovery than we hoped.  We must trust in God to bring mom back to full health.
