When I made this blog I put Krystal in charge of the updates because I'm just plain bad at it! But I have been asked to update everyone on the PET scan results and can't say that I'm happy to do so. I don't know the best way to tell it so I guess I'll just say it how it is.
Our parents received the news Tuesday evening that the cancer has now spread to the bones (pelvic/hip, upper back and ribs) and liver. The nodules on her lungs have gotten bigger and same with the tumors in her leg and lymph nodes. They have decided not to go forward with chemo and to just let the cancer run its course. They are looking into taking her home but will probably stay where they're at until the insurance kicks them out. The doctor didn't dare say how long she has but said it could be anywhere from weeks to months.
Mom's been in quite a bit more pain lately (which is now explainable) and they've been switching her pain meds around to try and control it but not totally snow her. They haven't gotten it figured out yet so she's pretty sleepy and out of it a lot so they are asking for no visitors at this time. We know there are lots of you out there that would like to stop by and share your love and we appreciate it very much. We want you to know how grateful we are for all your love and concern, it sure makes this journey easier.
I know that our Heavenly Father is in control and know he's watching over us and will uphold us through our trials. And I am grateful for the knowledge I have that we will all be together again someday.

Thanks for keeping us all updated Makayle. This could not have been an easy post to put up. I'm sorry the news isn't better. I wish I had something better to say. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers right now.
So sorry to hear this news. We will pray for her comfort, and strength for all of you. Please let us know what we can do to help in any way. Please let her know we love her dearly.
Your mother has always been a remarkable women. I got to know her when I served as Young Women's President in my ward and she in the Stake. She was always supportive and loved what she did. Please tell her I am thinking of her and miss her and I am praying for you all to have the strength you need to continue to serve your mom.
Thanks for sharing. Shelle Kreitzer
