Amy, She has gotten so many cards I have lost count. I am having her keep them all so she can look back at them later on. I know she did get yours because I was telling her about your son. I am still waiting for the doctor to call. It is so frustrating! Tomorrow morning our neighbor is seeing the same doctor Crystal sees and I told her to tell him I am getting lots of gray hair waiting for the phone to ring. Maybe we will hear tomorrow. I sure hope so. Beth
Beth, if it was me I would of been on that phone today before 3 and said Hay what is going on. I hope you all hear answers soon.
I am trying so hard to not call because I know the doctor is aware that we are so anxiously waiting to hear from him. My neighbor saw him yesterday and told him she lived on our street and how worried we were. He didn't tell her anything of course, but at least he got a gentle reminder that it has been over a week. Lots of people have told me to call him, but I just want to wait for him to call. Crazy I know, I prayed again this morning asking God to let today be the day we hear something. The doctor is in surgery on Wednesdays, but could still call. If I don't hear today I will call tomorrow because we won't be home on Friday. Freddy only works on Saturday this week because of the curriculum fair on Friday and a huge church cook out on Sunday. Crystal is doing a lot better now and her incision is healing very nicely. She is ready for our school year to be over and can't wait for church camp next month. Beth
You have a more patient then me. If it was me I would of called and said hay did you forget me. LOL Any keep us update. Tell Crystal to watch the mail.
Beth, I was hoping I would get on here and finally see some news!! I'm so sorry it is taking so long!!
I am so happy to report that the doctor finally called us tonight around 6:20 pm. He said the 7mm growth in Crystal's thyroid was cancer. He removed the whole thyroid. He said 7 lymph nodes that he removed were biopsied and they were fine. He also said she will not need any radioactive iodine threatments because we caught it early enough and she is so young he thinks she will not have any more problems from it. We will talk to him about that more in June but for now I am okay with that. I just want him to be sure she doesn't need any treatments. I am so happy and relieved. I wish there were words to thank you all and all our other friends and family for the support, cards, gifts, and most importantly the prayers that got us through all of this. It has been tough at times and I was so afraid because of the birth mother's history. (Birth mother's cancer has advanced to the point that she is sleeping most of the time now because of the pain medicine. She is in the hospital and has little time left according to her doctor.) Now we can breathe a sigh of relief for Crystal. I feel so blessed. Today we were at the curriculum fair and had bought a Spanish program for Crystal. The vendor was asking about who we were getting it for and she sort of looked around as if she were expecting her to be with us like so many kids were today. I said, "our daughter isn't with us. She is sick and we are waiting for biopsy reports right now." She said, "I will be praying for her. In fact let's pray right now." Freddy and I held her hands as she prayed a sweet and powerful prayer for Crystal and asked God to heal our child. I wish I could let her know our good news. I wish I could tell the whole world! I have been calling our family and our church family and couldn't wait the get on and let you all know. God bless you and thank you so much for helping us get through this. Beth
Shirley I can't stop praising God tonight! Thank you for all your kindness and prayers. Beth and Family
Praise God that all is well with Crystal. What wonderful news that is. God certainly does answer prayer, I'm so glad that Crystal will be ok.
Beth, what wonderful news you all got. Man oh Man, my keyboard got a good washing this morning bright and early. Thats ok it needed that kind of washing. I am so happy for you all and Crystal. Wow I really don't know what to say but Thank the Lord. He is wonderful.
This is WONDERFUL news. No words can describe my feeling a mix of joy, relief, and peace. So happy that everything turned out well. No radiation is fantastic news. I am so happy that we could share in this wonderful moment with you.
