Cyster?

We've seen it all in Idaho... now that we've been to the hospital with Gracie. Nearly a month ago we learned about an abnormal mass in Gracie's mouth from an x-ray at the dentist's office. The x-ray was so unusual it took three medical professionals to figure it out. Yesterday, we took Gracie to the hospital to remove what the experts were calling a cyst. After an hour in the waiting room, the doctor emerged from the O.R. with a perplexed look on her face. She said, "We didn't find a cyst, and we aren't sure what we found." Ugh! The doctors are looking at samples of the mass from Gracie's mouth to determine what "lies beneath" the surface. I don't have an ominous feeling about the results... yet... For now, Gracie is trying to recover, and we're trying to be patient with the medical professionals.

It's amazing to watch Gracie handle the whole situation with a smile and resilience... I admire her spirit and attitude. God is able to teach us amazing things through our kids. I praise God for her every day... what a blessing she is to me!
