Erica Update

Erica went to see the specialist on Monday and the tumor is not originally where they thought it was. Now it seems to be right behind the eyes and under the brain. On a good note- it is appearing to be non-cancerous, but she will still have to undergo surgery to have it removed because it is too large for them to shrink it?! On a bad note- the surgery will be tough on her! She will have to have her head shaved and they will saw her head open to get the tumor out. She will also lose her sense of smell permanently because of the direction they have to go in. :( and recovery could take up to 3 months!! Please keep praying!! It would be miraculous for her not to have surgery, but right now that looks like the only option. Erica also started a blog to document this journey @ ericaalston.blogspot.com!


*I've also began my Project 365 and decided to create a blog for that @ project365album.blogspot.com! A photo a day is alot harder than what you would think!! :)

I don't know your cousin but I can't imagine all of the thoughts that have been running through her head. I will be praying for her!! That is something hard to face but can be done!!!

I was doing the photo a day but I was taking pictures of the same things and so now I am going to do a photo a week. haha
