Lisa! I know that you must be totally worried at this moment! But you know, it could be over doing it over the holidays or something else simple. I hope it is absolutely nothing! I'll be praying that that is so! But try to save the fear for when you get bad news and then for only moments! Don't let this stupid disease rob you of this week with your family! You'll know soon enough. "Own" this time til then, if at all possible! Maybe getting mad would help!
Lots of love,
ma
