What changes in 1 short year....

Well I'm back... Its been 1 year since I blogged... and not that I was a dedicated blogger before but I will make a much better effort this time around.
So let me let you in our past 12 months...

Eric and I got engaged on my birthday 11-17-2010 *

We plan the wedding, look for places and new jobs in our new area from December to June

Eric and I moved into our first home 06-01-2011 *

I finally got my Insurance license and the job I wanted 06-15-2011

Eric and I GOT MARRIED 09-03-2011 *

We added a member to our family... no not what your thinking... A kitten, Vinny 10-01-2011

And currently in our first month of marriage we are facing a health scare with Eric.

That's alot in one year...
I promise to get back to the engagement, the house, the WEDDING, the kitty and all things exciting but right now I want to focus more on my husband and his health. Which is what encouraged me to blog again. I thought maybe an outlet. I have to be so strong in front of him and everyone else. Here I can be weak, sad, hurt, angry... just me and whatever I am feeling.

So it started about 1 week before the wedding he had a lump on the back of his head… we just kept in eye on it. But then about a week after the wedding it was starting to hurt. We had his mom look at it (she’s a nurse) she was really concerned with it and said he needed to go to the ER right then… of course being a guy…he wouldn’t… so he and I went home talked about it and he decided he would go the next day. Because he has lost an extreme amount of weight, I'm talking 40 pounds in a few months! He is having night sweats, the lump and over all just does not feel well. So he and his Dad went to Gwinnett medical… they couldn’t tell him what it was, they said they thought it was an inner ear infection. BS… he had no pain in his ears, no drainage… and they said but we can’t explain the bump. So the next day we had him see a family doctor who did some blood work but also could not explain the lump and suggested we see a specialist. So last Monday we got him in with an advanced ENT and they also did blood work. they sent the blood work out… still waiting on those results and in the meantime he had another appointment with a specialist on Friday who did a biopsy on the lump…. Also waiting to hear back on that. But they told us it’s a 50/50 chance its Lymphoma (cancer) or Lyme Disease. (also his Dad has Lymphoma… so higher chance that’s what it is). They said we could hear something back as early as yesterday… but we didn’t so hoping today… His CAT scan is scheduled for next Monday. Waiting and not knowing…. I don’t even know what to do. I feel terrible for him… he is so scared, I’m so scared not knowing what’s going to happen… I am just hoping they are wrong and maybe it’s just some freak infection that can be treated. But we just wait...
