Cantaloupe and Phone Calls

This is super short, but definitely one of the best posts!! On Wednesday after her biopsy Mom was super tired and felt awful. Thursday was a little better, but still pretty awful. With each day she is feeling a little bit better. We were able to see countless tender mercies this week, but the one I want to share is from Friday.

On Friday Mom didn't want to eat anything because her insides weren't the happiest after surgery. But she woke up that morning craving a cantaloupe and nothing else. (I guess it could have been a weirder food haha.) That morning she tried to think of a friend that could bring her one, but she wasn't sure if they were in season or ripe yet. Someone called her that morning and asked how she was feeling and Mom mentioned how she really wanted a cantaloupe. That friend replied with how cantaloupes normally have to sit on your counter for a few days before they are ripe, and that she had two cantaloupes that were now ripe! She brought my Mom cantaloupe just when she needed it!! That friend really helped because my Mom was feeling a little forsaken with the pain on Thursday, but on Friday this friend was able to remind her that Heavenly Father is still looking out for her. All through her just having two cantaloupes when she needed it. God cares about the little things.

Later that day Mamma got another phone call. This call was from her oncologist in Seattle. They said that her treatment is "very treatable!" So we are so full of hope and so thankful! My parents will meet with the doctors this week to discuss what treatment is, but it looks like she won't have to do chemo. We thank you for all your prayers and dinners, but would appreciate if they would keep coming... especially the..... prayers! ;)
