It's been a while since I blogged. I know that most of you have been keeping up with Narcie through her blog at http://narciejeter.wordpress.com and that you have heard her good news. Her tumor is not malignant; it's stage 2 not 3 or 4 (although I wish had been a stage 1). The Tumor Board will meet next week to determine the next course of action. We appreciate your prayers and keep them coming. This thing has the potential of growing back and she will have MRI's every few months to keep track of it.
Last week after I had done all the "busy" things that I could do to keep from crying, Caleb and I headed to Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series. Those of you who know me are quite aware how much I love college baseball. This is my fourth trip to the CWS, 2002, 2003, 2004, and now for Rosenblatt Stadium's last season. Caleb and I have an adventure. We always do! Maybe the low point was sleeping on the pavement in the rain to exchange general admission tickets for reserve seats. We/I have been to all the games, and the days are running into each other in my mind. Last night's thriller against Oklahoma was UNBELIEVABLE! We won in the bottom of the 12th with 2 outs.
We play Clemson tonight at 8 and I don't have my tickets yet - freaking a little bit about that, but it will work out. It got into the 60's and I wass too beat to sleep on the pavement again. We're staying about 3 miles from the stadium at Lake Manawa State Park, $11 a night and eating on the cheap. This has been a good distraction from all of Narcie's drama though I've been calling numerous times a day. The proof of that is that the only time I've cried in since all this with her started was on Wednesday when she called and gave me the report. These were tears of joy. My little/big girl may get to live and I'm so grateful to God. I'm grateful that Caleb is here with me, too, and the rest of you have been as well.
By the way, since Cindy comes from a big Clemson family, and Josh graduated from there, I made the fateful promise not to pull against Clemson unless they were playing Carolina. I've kept my promise, but NOT tonight. We have to beat them the next two days in order to get into the Championship series that starts Monday. Go Gamecocks! This what sports was meant for: to give you a minor distraction from life, and that sports shouldn't be a life unto itself. Fullness of life can only come from Christ, that I know!
Anyway, thanks to everyone for your prayers and keep them coming for Narcie.
