Andy's family blog

I would love to say things here are settling into normalcy, yet alas I can not. Late yesterday, Andy noticed a tiny lump on his neck. He at first thought it was just an ingrown hair. This morning I looked at it and felt the lump. He also said it was bigger than yesterday. So, we called our favorite cancer people at Huntsman. They made an appointment for Andy on Friday and sent him to see his regular doc today. After consulting with Dr. Grossman, Dr. Schow gave Andy a really strong antibiotic. They are hoping it is just the start of an ear infection since there was some fluid in the ear, and the lump was where the glands sit. So, we wait and hope that the pills will bring the lump down before Friday. If it doesn't then Dr. Grossman will do either a biopsy or ultrasound on the lump. This could be from the new treatment or it could be new tumors. Now don't panic! I know that is easier said than done. However, we are trying to stay optimistic. Well on other news, I am starting a new semester at Weber State University and trying to stay hopeful that I don't fail this class (again). On Monday, school starts for the kids and I am back to work. 2 of out of the 3 kids are excited for it to start, the one oddball kid well... lets just say she has always been the one to dance to a different beat. We love her and all her fiestiness. Well, there is the update. Please remember we appreciate all you do for us. You are in our prayers and thoughts. We love you.
