PET Scans and Results...

Another day in on this journey...

Well, yesterday Andy had a PET scan and we got the results yesterday.  They told us that the cancer spread to his lymph nodes.  But, we are staying positive.  We are grateful that we have faith that this treatment will get rid of the rest of the things that they found.  I know that it will be this way.

We had such a bad night last night.  Andy couldn't sleep at all because he had nausea all night long.  He didn't vomit but he was just so sick. It is sad to see my boy this way, but I keep thinking and telling him, "this is a good sign, you're tired, you have  nausea, you are losing hair and everything.  It's an answer that Heavenly Father is giving us to tell us that your body is getting rid of that crazy tumor."

Like I said, we are living day by day.  Andy is fighting at 100%.  Yesterday, after we got home, he wanted to sit with us at the dinner table to be with the kids.  He said that he had been by himself for too long, having been isolated for 8 hours after the PET scan, so he just wanted to be with the kids. My parents brought us, Frozen, the movie, so Mia has been singing and dancing to Frozen 24/7.  She is such a good little dancer and singer. She totally loves this movie and every time she hears the song, Let It Go, she screams, "Mom!  Let's dance, Let's dance!"  And then, I saw Andy dancing around with Mia doing everything that he can to make his girl happy.

I am so proud of him.  I admire him.  I look at him and I think, how can a person be so positive and happy like he is?   And the only answer is that he is so close to our Heavenly Father.  I see him kneeling and praying all of the time.

We are so grateful with everyones help, donations, garage sales, bake sales, food from our church, help from our church family, phone calls, texts and everything.  We never expected to get so much love from everyone. Andy told me, "as soon as I get better I am going to live my life to serve others day and night", and I agree with him. As soon as we get back on our feet we want to give people back everything that everyone is doing for us.  

He also showed me this song, and of course I cry and cry every time I hear it.

I love Andy so much.  I still remember the day we met.  I was clueless about what was going to happen.  But, after a long time, Andy told me how he felt.  For those that don't know how we met, we met in Mexico at the Costco store.  Andy told me that it sounds cheesy, but he really knew at the very first minute that he wanted to get married to me. He said, "I was sure I met you before we came to earth, and I made you a promise that I was going to come here and find you.  And, once that I found you, I was not going to let you go.  After that, we saw each other once, really just once.

 After the first day, we dated, and he asked me to get married with him.  Crazy, isn't it? And I said yes, and I am so glad I did.  I just felt we were made for each other. Andy has taught me so many things but the must important one is to love the gospel.
I love him so much.
