(If you can't handle mentions of blood, you may want to skip this. I am skipping a hundred details, though.)

Oh dear. Lately I'd wished for an adventure and yikes! I got a huge one.

Thursday night around 7:00 (Gross Alert) I awoke to discover I was bleeding like horror movie crazy (well...). Felt dizzy, too. Somehow I made it safely down the stairs, laid on the kitchen floor and spoke words to Tom I thought I'd never say:

"Tom. I need an ambulance." He'd fallen asleep in his recliner, but he pulled himself together, made the call, and yelled for Naomi down the stairs. Then they both did 50 little things for me to prepare me to go. 

Eventually the ambulance arrived, they placed me in a rolling chair then took me out into the cold night. Tom rode in the front and Naomi followed. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Picture yourself inside a toolbox being shaken and the noise! Oh my.

At the local hospital they changed me out of my bloody clothes, asked bunches of questions and then said I needed a blood transfusion. Over the night they gave me 3 bags of blood. Oh dear.

But that continued in a different hospital! This current one had no ob gyn services so yes, another ambulance ride, this one longer, over to Buffalo. And there I would stay until Sunday afternoon. So many adventures over those days and so many kind, helpful people (and so many Hallmark movies and episodes of NCIS. heh.)

Yet I felt peoples' prayers and felt such grace and peace. And you know? I even loved the MRI. Had a mild sedative, but they wrapped me in soft, warm blankets, I closed my eyes, and felt so loved.

So that's a sign of how things tended to go those days, but yeah, a couple parts were hairy-rough.

And that's enough for today, except I ended up being diagnosed with cervical cancer, around 1B. But again! Jesus has given me such peace and I truly do feel everything is gonna be ok.

Thanks for your prayers!

Oh, and my mom is in hospice. Please pray for our whole family, ok? Thanks so much.
