The smallest Frette
You may or may not know that Emma went in yesterday to have her lymph node removed b/c it is expanding. It is either an infection or cancer ... the earliest we will know something is Friday but most likely it will be next week. If it is cancer than things will move pretty quick and will include chemo. Cancer does not make any sense but kids and cancer really don't make any sense. We went to see her last night, she is at home and pretty cranky which I guess I would be too. She can't sweat for two weeks which is like asking Atticus not to chase squirrels. She loves to run and do her gymnastics so it is going to be a long two weeks for Missy and Dave. I will keep you posted ...
In other news ... Katie ... did you walk by the crash yesterday? I can't believe how close it was to your place! It is so tragic but I am happy that more people were not hurt.

omygosh....I didn't know this.....is there anything I can do? Take dinner? Buy Emma a toy? Please let me interfere in some way b/c you know it always makes me feel better. But, that's really not the point, is it? Is there anything quietly out-of-the-way I can do?
I know how you feel! I just wish there was something we could do to make her not have cancer, like do hours of community service or something to work off the cancer. I was telling Will on the way home last night that this whole thing has made me realize that cancer is really the great equalizer ... it can hit anyone or any kid no matter how well cared for the child is. Dave and Mis are very low key and laid back about the whole thing and just waiting to find out. It is good that they are so laid back b/c it is keeping Emma cool with the whole thing. She was so high when they wheeled her in to OR yesterday that she did not even care ... she was seeing kids playing where there were none so she was in her own little world. When she woke up she did not like the bear Dave had bought in the gift shop so she sent him back to get a diffrent one. That is just so emma so I take that as a good sign. =)
Just keep her in your thoughts and prayers and I will let you know ...
how's your mom? Maybe I can do something for her.....
I think Kristen is worse off than Dave and Missy... not to mention Emma. She's just a kid with one less lymph node!
Hell Kristen is so bad off that she's telling us not to have children!
But it's pretty scary waiting like this. I don't see why they can't find out if it's cancer by doing some other tests. If it's cancerous in the lymph node it means there's cancer somewhere else.
But the one positive assessment is that she was sick for a week before with a fever. And this could mean the lymph node grew because she was fighting off an infection.
But we'll know, not soon enough.
omygosh...........I'll call your mom.....surely she can't think that a cat disease should stop you from having children....I need to get my biology book out....
