Lots on the home front. Evey this past Monday had her 2 of what will be many scopings. The doctor came back and said that there was little to no change. I was asked if that was good or bad. I had to answer both. Good because then I know that her polyps are slow growing and her testings will be few and far between, praise God. Bad cause as a Mom I was hoping that God would perform a mirical and have all of the polyps dissappear and have her be cured and no more FAP. For what ever reason God didn't grant this one. I know there is a reason as to why but for now we just have to accept it and move on. The doctor when speaking with us as to what he did or didn't see told us that if he were in our shoes he would have to colon removed ASAP, meaning now. I have a feeling that this is going to bring some tension between us, since Jim and I would like to wait as long as possible. Our doctor even talked with one of his other GI doctor friends about this and he also said to wait. To wait would be good for growth, development and development of reproductive organs. I will not put the risk higher for her not to bare children. If something happens and the polyps are going out of control and the colon has to come out then I will. But to make that choice now when there is no health risk I will not. I fear that if I/we do take it out now that she could come back and make me feel guilty for not giving her body a chance to have her own children. I will not do that to her.

This scoping was hard, I feel harder than the one back in January. The prepping took its toll on her just like last time and she had to be admitted in the hospitol Sunday night just like last time. But since she was only half way done with the prepping we had to finish it up. Our only option since it was late when we got into a room was to do the nose tube up the nose and down into her tummy. I am not sure who it was harder on, Jim and I to see her like this or her since it was not comfortable and very bothersome for her. We finally got enough into her and we got the tube out about 11:30 pm and she asked for some apple juice and she was now in heaven.

The test went well and the we spoke with the doctor about what he did or didn't see. We have an appointment set to talk with the doctor on next Tues so we shall see what he says. To help unwind from all of that we drove down to Branson Missouri. We left Thurs night when Jim got off and spent the night in Belleville with his Dad and then drove the rest of the way. We spent 3 days there and the kids loved it, Jim and I did too. It was beautiful! If you are friends with me on facebook you can see some of the pics there. Both kids got to drive the duck while we were on the lake, saw 2 shows and for both were 3rd row and just about center. I found out that I am not built for big boat rides and got dizzy and a bit queezy from the motion. On our way back to Jim's Dad's place our AC in the car broke and we had to drive the rest of the way home with the windows down and getting wind blown. God was good for the 2 day of driving. There was a cloud cover the entire ride home and he kept the humidity down so it was nice and cool while driving. Thank you Lord. While we were in Branson we booked a room for up in Wisconsin Dells again. So can not wait!!

Through all of this God has shown us his love and answer to prayers. While in the hospital I was updating our folks and in turn my Mom was updating facebook for me and when people saw the updates they prayed and Gods power came through just in the times I/we needed it. There were some hard times and I am glad to have so many prayer warriors out there for us. It was amazing!! THANK YOU!! Well its time to go I will post 2 pics here from our trip hope you enjoy them.
