My step-mom, etc
So she went to an obgyn yesterday and he said that based on the reports, he didn't think it sounded like cancer. He wants to have another ultrasound with him in the room so that he can look at what he needs to look at. He said that most times you can tell with ultrasounds any more whether it's cancer. I'm very glad that he has made them feel better, but I am not going to get super hopeful until they know for sure. The Doctor seemed really positive, but I was talking to my dad who literally told me everything was fine when they told him to go home an get affairs in order.
Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts! I'm going to have to talk to one of the pastors at church because I'm going through a crisis of faith. Not because of Jackie being sick, but just a lot of other things mostly to do with my mom dying. Anyway, I appreciate all of you so much!
We ended up having to replace the hot water heater that we've had for a little over 5 years. One of the pipes coming out of the top where it connects with the house pipe corroded and was dripping for an indeterminate amount of time. Which rusted the top of the hot water heater and fried the wiring, so we were lucky the house didn't burn down around us! So that's fixed, it only took four days. I was telling Patrick and some friends that occasionally I take cold showers anyway just so that if I was ever in a Turkish prison the cold shower would at least not be so bad. Apparently, that's weird.

That's scary about the hot water heater. Eeek! Thank goodness you found it before there was a fire.

Naaaaah! Not weird at all! ;P

And as sad as it was that we had to get a whole new water heater at least we didn't lose everything in a fire. And we found someone who didn't ask $950 to do the work.
I just figured everyone did that. Oh well. I'm a weirdo from way back.

Prayers continuing for your family, but also for you, sweetie. Just remember, a crisis of faith means the Devil is paying special attention to you, and he only does that when God lets him. This is God using this situation to draw you closer to Him. A faith that can't be questioned is a faith not worth having - I think C.S. Lewis said that, or something like it. You might want to read Lewis' book Mere Christianity, if you haven't already. The Problem of Pain and A Grief Observed are also fantastic. Any of these might bring you the comfort you need, in addition to talking with your Pastor.
