Breigh.

I am asking - practically begging - for your thoughts and prayers right now.

I got a text from Breigh an hour or so ago that her test results from last week came back, and that she does have a brain tumor. They are testing her tonight to see if it is cancerous, and she and her family meet with a surgeon on Monday.

This is all becoming so real right now.

I have never sat in a shower just...crying. My heart is breaking right now. I can truly say that I have never experienced this much emotional pain in my life.

My best friend has a brain tumor.

How do I deal with this? How do I stay strong for my best friend who needs me most right now? What happens now? I have so many questions, and absolutely zero answers.

I am at a loss of what my role is in all of this.

I am praying so hard for Breigh, and for her family right now.

I know I keep asking you guys to keep her in your thoughts and prayers, but she truly really needs this right now. I know she would love it knowing that you guys are thinking of her, and I really appreciate how thoughtful you all are. I love each and every one of you guys. Really.

We've found the source of all this evil...

I woke up with an ever present sore throat, yet again, this morning. After some home-examination, there were very obvious white spots on the back of my throat. So, we decided it was best to go to the doctor. So I called into work to tell my boss I couldn't come in (sad face. I NEED the hours BAD), and my momma took me to urgent care, and I was immediately tested for Strep. But... the test came back negative. The doctor was completely shocked. After she looked at my throat, she was sure that it was strep. My throat was completely swollen, and covered in little white spots, and my heart rate was "way too elevated." So, when we found out it was negative, she said the next step was to do some blood work. Mom had to hold my hand (I am such a baby when I get blood drawn)... It was funny being on the "other side" of things, since I used to go with Breigh to get her blood work done every week (she's a lot more tough than I am!) But, the results came back from that and I tested positive for....

Mono.

SERIOUSLY. I was so upset.

Until she said that I had doctor permission to stay in bed until Wednesday, and I needed to have someone wait on me, and do everything for me next week. Oh, and to avoid all physical activity for the next 2-3 weeks. Yes. I felt extremely relieved after that :)

So now, I'm home. I cleaned up my room a little bit to make it nice and comfy (which left me utterly exhausted after less than 10 minutes), and I'm chilling out in bed, watching O Brother Where Art Thou, and reading magazines (I really need to go to Wal-Mart and buy some more...)

Miss Cassie is coming over Sunday night and then waiting on me hand and foot keeping me company on Monday. I'm pretty darn excited for that :)

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. :)
