Well,
my friends, I wanted to update you all with the results of the biopsy. Unfortunately, they have found that
the tumor is actually malignant. This is obviously, quite devastating
and out of left field. I do not have a prognosis yet as they have not
determined the stage. Hopefully this will be determined soon. I am being
sent to an oncologist this week, so that ball will start rolling soon.
Please pray for me and my family. Again, this comes as quite a shock and
we are all trying to take in the information. We need all of the divine
intervention we can get. I am not usually one to ask for prayers. In
fact, this ordeal has been the first time I have been compelled to do
so. I guess it is because my little boy is 10 years old and needs a
momma. I
am confident that with prayer, positive thoughts, and some fight on my
side, I will beat this thing and everything will be good in the world
again!
On to the parade of Art Philosophy projects!

Take care of yourself!
I sure have enjoyed seeing the sets of cards from each cartridge. How fun to see the different card ideas all together.
