the c-word
The doctor called with the results of my MRI. My mind is all hazy with shock and the words he used swirling around my head. Mass. Cancerous. Large. Likely malignant. I need to see a surgeon now. I have an appointment tomorrow. I can't believe, can't fathom, that this is happening. What does this mean for my unborn baby? What does it mean for my life? What does it mean for Daniel, for Steve? I am just ... stunned ... I never expected this to happen now in a thousand years. I've got to pull myself together, for Daniel's sake at least. He still needs to eat and play and cuddle and have his diaper changed, after all. We're going to go to Woodbury to meet Steve and have lunch so we can talk about this in person. Pray for me.

oh Emilie. I cannot even imagine what you are feeling and/or thinking right now. You guys are all in my thoughts. I know it's easier said than done, but you need to be strong - for yourself, your baby, Daniel and Steve. You can be strong. Here are well wishes and happy thoughts to you.. **
Oh Emilie, oh my God.
Just got off the phone with Dad - he says you called.
Please call if you need, or if you prefer not, that's fine too. Whatever you prefer.
When is your surgery?

Oh Emilie. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know that you are an incredibly strong and faithful woman and while I can't imagine what you must be feeling I know you'll face this head on. Please let me know if there is anything you need.
Emilie, I am sending you all of my prayers right now. I understand this road, and if there is anything at all that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to call.
Emilie, I just got on your blog to see if there are pictures from Daniel's party and instead I see this. I am crying for you, and praying for you, my dear friend. Please know there is a wave of love and support surrounding you from your friends and family, and we are here to help you through this. -Vanessa
