I am stunned and amazed i never made it on here yesterday.  The morning started with EO & I doing our morning worship, but after that I was so swamped with phone calls and then, I am working on scanning the last of my pics, to the computer and then loading them to a web site. Then when I get done with that, I am going to start working on my mom's pics.  I have been working on this for a couple days. I really didn't get to get all that many done, but i was just so swamped with other stuff.

EO was gone pretty much the whole afternoon.  Besides going to town, he worked at the apartments with Colton.  Oh, Colton is doing a lot of work there now for us.  Which is a huge help and we are sooo thankful for that!!  EO worked at the apts some after he got back, then ran home to make us dinner, then ran back down to do some more stuff, then ended the evening visiting with his dad.

So I got my lab results back.  It seems the constant inflammation on my stomach and esophagus is causing me trouble.  I now have Barrett's, and in a few years I will start showing signs of cancer.  It could very well take longer than 3 years before I develop it.  I am at the early stages right now, and it could take less than 3.  Being I have constant inflammation due to the connective tissue problems I have, plus i have acid reflux...which i do take nexium for, however, that cuts down the acid, but it doesn't prevent the reflux.  Plus, there is another thing that my stomach doesn't respond when food enters... well it does respond, just not right away like it should, there is a delay before it reacts.  Again there is nothing they can do for that either. So it wasn't great news, but at least it will take some time before it starts, and i am really glad I had this done now, so we all know what to expect.  oh the one other thing my labs showed,  was that my GI track is hyper sensitive...bahahahahaha... really, I had no idea...ok, that was sarcastic and i'm not suppose to do that, but it was really funny to me. 

I don't eat much acidic stuff. I haven't for years due to my stomach being so sensitive. I always listen to how my body responds to foods, so that I can avoid what makes me sicker.  so there isn't much to change in my diet, which is good.  If i didn't already mind what i eat, I most likely would have cancer.  So at least I am already careful. There isn't really much more I can do to that.  At least I don't need to be concerned about it right now.  We have too many other things to be concerned about.

Steph has been staying up with Ma & Lauren alot.  She has been helping Lauren out with helping mom to adjust to her new place, as well as helping them to organize.  It is funny how it takes so much time to unpack.  Well, you put things in one place, only to find it would work better someplace else.  Well anyway, she will be going with Lauren to the meeting.

Oh, exciting news... Mom wants to go to the Memorial.  As long as she is doing well enough.  And as long as she doesn't break a leg or something.  Recently she caught her leg on something and ripped a "half dollar" size chunk of skin off her leg.  Well, she did it again this morning.  They called the first responders and they said she needed to have the chunk of skin removed, which they couldn't do.  So Ma will need to have that taken care of tomorrow.  Ma didn't have anyone who could take her, because Lauren had to leave for work, and although Lauren was going to call in, Ma said, "NO WAY" and made her go to work.  And her sister was out in service so she didn't want to call her.  Since it isn't life threatening, she said she can wait until tomorrow.  I asked, why not go after Lauren get's off work and Ma said she didn't want to risk Lauren missing the meeting.  I guess, as long as she isn't bleeding out, and keeping it wrapped to prevent any infection she should be ok.  Ma has anti biotics too, so she was going to take them as well.
