Today was THE day. Margaret and I made the trip to see the Orthopedic Oncologist to get the results from her MRI. She was so nervous that she had an upset stomach and was physically shaking. The staff and the doctor were so compassionate. The male nurse came in with me and Margaret and he was so funny cracking jokes to make her laugh. He got down on her level and spoke softly and reassured her that she was getting ready to meet the best doctor she could see for her bump. He then spoke with me and made me feel more at ease. Then the Physicians Assistant came in and sat down with us as she went over the MRI. She was explaining everything in a way that was light so that Margaret did not get alarmed, but I understood. It was like she was telling me the results gently. Easing me into what the doctor would be telling me in detail. I really appreciated that. I was worried that I would not be able to handle the news in front of Margaret, and I knew that I needed to be brave for her. When the doctor came in he was so perfect with Magy. He spoke to her first and asked her if she knew why she was there and then he asked her if she would like to ask any questions. Margaret had a few good questions' but the one that sticks out to me was when she asked if what she had was bad. Then the doctor explained everything to her in a way she could understand without scaring her and she took the news well. After that he answered all of my questions and we planned the course of treatment. We then went to schedule everything and Margaret asked me if it was better to have this one kind of tumor or the other kind of tumor. She wanted to know which one was worse and which one did they think she had. I explained the type of tumor to her and what may happen when we get the results back. She got quite and sat there. I asked her if she had any more questions and how was she feeling. She said that she might have more questions later, and that she was feeling OK about it.
When I sat down tonight to think about all that needs to be done and all the we are getting ready to go through, I am reminded by what she had said while watching the recent news coverage of Japan. "Do they know Jesus?" -Magy "Who?"-Me "The Japanese people, because if they do then they shouldn't be scared... I'm not."-Magy
I have often wondered why my precious baby girl has always been so mature, so smart, so wise beyond her years. God has always had a plan for her. He knew before she was conceived every step she would take. Every trial she would undertake. My little girl has taught me so much and I praise God that he has entrusted her to me and her Daddy. She may have an old soul but it is one filled with love and faith beyond her years. God was preparing her and is preparing her for a journey that only He can complete. She is clay in His hands. How refreshing to see how she handles being molded and kneaded. She does not complain. She does not cry out in fear or in anger. She doesn't even question why? She just takes a deep breath and walks on knowing that God will be there every step of the way. "they shouldn't be scared...I'm not." -Magy
