They say "Life is a lesson," and I'm one, for sure, who is getting an education quickly.  Much of the time I'm barely staying inches in front of the wheel which is trying to run over me.  I've wondered if I'm so dense, God has saved up a village worth of "life lessons" to whip this rebellious nature into shape, or if there is some purpose behind all of this madness.  The only thing I know for sure, is that I'm still here, and not in a psychiatric ward yet!  So that has got to be good....right?!!

Pam and Judy both came through their surgeries well today.  Pam's surgery wasn't completely successful.  Part of the blockage was removed, but the tumor couldn't be.  So there is conversation of trying radiation and chemotherapy to possibly help. 

Judy's procedure went well.  They hope to have her checked out by Thursday or Friday.  Some lymph nodes were removed to test and be sure the cancer was only contained to that one kidney.  I'm praising God for their safety and protection over the family.

I enjoyed some quality time with Drew after his Mother's Day Out program.  Unfortunately, he began running a 102.5 temperature, but improved once I got him to his house and got some medicine in him.  I'm hoping it was just a quick little virus that will pass without Alyssa or Matt and Jill catching anything.

All in all, today was such a blessing!
