Laura,
Thank you so much, I don't know what I would do without all you girls!
The rash is finally going away! Hooray! So hopefully within the next 3
or 4 days, I can go back outside and enjoy the nice weather!
Also, my mom goes in for her surgery July 3rd, can ya'll keep her in
your prayers? I am really worried, and I can tell that even she is
scared. She has a huge (24 inches ) mass in her stomach that they are
removing, and we are all hoping and praying that it is non-cancerous. I
would appreciate the prayers, and I know she would as well.
Thanks!
