Alexis update

So it has felt like a month to find out any results from Alexis's biopsy but and I was getting so impatient and frustrated with the doctors because they said they would call Wed. morning and let me know the results and they didn't.  Then they didn't call on Thursday so I called them and they promised he would call me that night.... and he didn't so Friday morning I was a little mad and called them and told them I wasn't getting off until I talked to someone who knew how to read the report and they let me know what they found out.  So I waited for about ten minutes and then they came on to tell me that it looked great and no Melanoma cells were found along with no sign of any tumors.  So it is just a stone in her gland and now we need to look into going to Salt Lake to a specialist that can take it out of her gland without cutting her open on her neck and can go through her mouth under her tongue and hopefully leave her gland in. 
I know for a fact that we have been blessed with a miracle for everything to turn out so simple.  The doctor said on Monday that when he saw the change and that it had gotten a little softer that he had been 99% sure that it was going to be cancer or something bad, but because he could see a change, he flipped it to the other way around.  It was no coincidence that it changed when it did....  with having  my family, and Ryan's family and me and all the other friends that knew about it fast and pray for her the day before, and then the very next day there was a change.  (after going for a month of staying the exact same)  I know that our prayers were answered, and after the day of fasting for me, I just knew that it was going to be alright.  I felt a strong peace, and was calm.  I am so thankful for all the family and friends who have been so loving and caring for us and thinking about us and praying for us. I know that we are loved, and I know that people truly care for me and my family.  It is such a wonderful feeling to know that.
Going through this I think about the people I know that have gone through the trials of Cancer and sickness and I don't know how they did it.  When I look at how strong they were and how amazing they handled everything it makes me feel like such a wimp.  I know that I have not gone through anything even close to what they have and it was just killing me inside to think of my baby with such a horrible sickness.  It really brought me closer to my girls and made me want to be a better mom to them, be more loving,  hug and kiss them, be more patient with them,  and tell them how much I love them all the time.
