Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to take some time before the day started and wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I am so thankful to have each and everyone of you in my life and I just wanted to let you know how important each one of you are to me.

This has been a very rough year for me and I want to thank each one of you for sticking by me and being there when I needed someone to talk to or a shoulder to lean on! You guys have been the absolute best!! I couldn't ask for better friends or family!! Hopefully next year will be a better one for me!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day with their families and enjoys what the holiday season is all about. Being with the ones that you love!!

Merry Christmas to all!!

Surgery Update

I just thought that I would give everyone an update on my surgery.

I made it through with flying colors. It was a little scary trying to get to the hospital and home yesterday. Richfield got a little over 10 inches of snow between Sunday night and Monday morning and then the wind was blowing really hard. We weren't sure if we were even going to be able to make to the hospital. However, we got up really early and drove really slow and was busting snow drifts the entire way, but we made it.

I went into surgery a little after 10 am and the surgery lasted about 45 minutes. My surgeon, Dr. Fiaschetti, said that they got everything removed. The pathologist wasn't able to make it to the hospital because of the weather so they weren't able to have it biopsed right then so I should know the results of the biopsy by Friday, at the very latest Monday.

I am in some pain but not to bad. I have a patch over my left breast that I have to wear for three days. I can't get the patch wet so I have to take a bath and Jose will have to help me wash my hair in the sink. I will have an indentation in my left breast where they removed the pollup or tumor and they also had to remove some breast tissue. Dr. Fiaschetti told my mom and I that it is very unlikely that this will come back as cancerous. He said that less than 5% of them come back as cancerous. To me that is very good odds.

I just wanted to give everyone an update. I hope that everyone is doing well. I will post more when I know what the results of the biopsy are.

Merry Christmas to all!!

Quick Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that I go in for surgery on Monday at 1 pm in Ketchum. I have to be at the hospital at 11 am, but will go in to the operating room at 1 pm. The doctors have found either a pollup or tumor in one of the ducts of the nipple on my left breast and they are going to remove it on Monday and then do a biopsy of it. My surgeon does not believe that it is a tumor or cancerous and I feel very comfortable with him as my surgeon.

I have been having excruiciating pain in my left breast as well as discharge coming from the nipple for the last two and a half months and I went in for two different breast exams the beginning of November and they couldn't find any lumps so I was sent in for a mammogram and an ultrasound the beginning of December. The ultrasound revealed some concerns so they did a procedure called a Galactogram last Thursday and they found this pollup or tumor in one of the ducts of my nipple. I wanted to have the surgery done over the Christmas break because I am off of work for two weeks starting this Friday. School is out from the 20th until the 4th of January. I will have plenty of time to recuperate although the surgeon today said that I should be able to go back to work the next day (Tuesday).

I hope that things are going well for everyone. I will post some pictures of Mason's school Christmas program by this weekend. He is getting very excited!! I can't believe that he is old enough to be in a school Christmas program.

Love to all!!

New Family Pictures!

I really like this picture of all of us as well. I really like it with my dad's old barn in the background! We just got a bunch of snow today so it made the pictures even better.
Mason on my dad's new hay wagon! He is such a ham!! I really like this pic of him!
This is my favorite picture that we took!! We took these pictures at my parent's house here in Richfield. I can't believe how much Mason has grown! This is the picture that I put on our X-Mas cards that I am hoping to have sent out by this weekend!
This is Jose freezing just before we took our pictures!! It was so cold!!

I hope that everyone is having a joyous holiday season with lots of love and family!! We are preparing for Mason's school Christmas program on Wednesday night. He is very excited!! I will post some pictures of it by this weekend!
