Okay, having read this message on Bret's facebook, I find posting twice in one day quite acceptable... and the some. Anyways, here are Bret's words:
This past 6 days have been intense. We took Madeline in for a CT scan after she had been hit on the temple as a result of a Wii competition. Well, she got a bump that continued to swell for 4 weeks. The result showed a crack in her skull and we were told, "Take these CT results, pick up your girl, and get to an ER and ask for a neurosurgeon. That was last Wednesday. Well, after MRI's, bone xrays, and surgery, we have discovered that Madeline has something she was born with called histiosytosis. I'm sure I spelled that wrong, but whatever. Anyway, it's more rare than leukimia, but not life threatening. She had surgery and now has a nasty 6 inch long scar on her left side...we haven't counted the stitches yet. She will now need some treatment after this surgery and some chemo pills (easy ones, no serious stuff). Please, pray that the final outcome of all this is that Madeline is fine. The test results are good and the oncologist was elated the news was good. We just got this news an hour ago and are finally home after being in the hospital for 5 days. We're wiped out, have no energy, and are fairly numb. When she was wheeled into surgery, we felt our life sucked out of us. Please pass this on to others that know us. Pray for complete recovery and that the treatment she receives will be all she needs. Thanks
