Catching up

I want to start out by saying how I am so truly overwhelmed with the out pour of love that has been shown to me and my family since my recent diagnosis. We have all received calls and emails from friends that we have not been connected with in awhile, people in the blog world we have never met, as well as our close circle of friends and family.

It is a very humbling experience to have so many people expressing love and concern for us all during this time. I must admit that I did have have one small come apart today when I got off work but, it is behind me now and I do not intend to do that again for a while.

Now on to the update, Wednesday, Mom and Jacque took me for the CT scans of my neck and chest. Our aim was that the CT with contrast would be a clear revelation to the doctors of the source of the cancer. Dr. Davis called me late yesterday afternoon to tell me that we "did not get the home run" we were hoping for. He said that my lungs and chest area were clear and we would have to keep looking. From the way he explained it to me was that if the cancer was not obvious from the CT scan, it would indicate that the source is in a epithelium lining somewhere. I am reading up on this to see what this means. Dr. Davis described it as "looking for a needle in a haystack". (sorry, Corinne, but that is how he explained it to me). So now, we wait for further testing and go from there.

Last night was a very happy night for us. Connor Cline Pigg graduated from Pre-School. This was the program that he has been in since they moved to Clarksville. He came down the aisle so very serious with his hat that was too big, slightly cocked, not moving his head so it would stay in place. They played Pomp and Circumstance just like they do for Seniors in High School. He went on stage and sang every word to every song with every hand gesture just exactly as he was taught. He smiled and waved as he went across the stage to get his diploma and tears streamed down my face I love him so much!

This little cutie, Cannon Russell Pigg, went on stage dressed in matching clothes with his brothers and mouthed most of the songs. He only made one small attempt to do a little wheels on bus hand gestures but was by far the cutest one up on the stage!!!!!

and this little cutie Cord Ramsey, just smiled as he moved so fast that only Russell could keep up with him!! After it was over, we went to Chick-fil-a for a celebratory dinner and presents for the boys. Mom and I were presented with Mother's Day gifts from the Piggs. They gave me a beautiful locket key chain and Mom received a beautiful necklace and earrings to match.
