"emergency surgery?"

Yup thats what i meant. After my surgery June 11 I have been trying to heal. The last few weeks my breath has been horrible and my swelling has not gone down at all. I finally went in yesterday morning to see Dr. Arce to complain about my pain. His verdict was that the bone graph didnt take and that my body was rejecting it. He wanted to get everything out as soon as possible, meaning the bone graph and the screws which would take us back to before my surgery. Little did I know ASAP was that day. I broke down after I heard all this. So dad and I walked in and got myself admitted but were going to have to wait till four pm till I could go in. So we were going to come home for a little then head back up. When we walked out of the office we were chased down by the admission person telling us that we had to stay and could not leave. ugh. Dad and I took a seat and four o clock rolls around and we had not heard anything. So we went and checked on things, thats when they informed us I would not go in till NINE PM. I had not had anything to eat that day so I was really really cranky.


Finally we got to go into surgery about 10 30 PM. After about two hours the surgery was done.

Prognosis: The bone was dying in my jaw and the my body was rejecting it, and there was a small infection growing.



So I am now at home recovering yet again. I will tell you I have never been in this much pain after a surgery.


That job interview I was supposed to have was today and I dont know if I am going to get it. I was really really looking forward to it, but I guess i may have to keep looking

Havent updated in a while

Hey everybody,
Well its been a while that I have updated and I do apologize. My fourth of July was very fun. I was reunited with a very close friend and we lit off fireworks and hungout all night. The week has been pretty slow. My jaw is still causing pain and making my breath smell bad (so all beware).

I have some amazing news I finally have a job interview at a coffee shop in Battleground. I am so excited I hope it all goes well. Wish me luck.

I am also planning to go on this mission trip with our church July 18-23. We are going to San Fransisco. I am so excited and cant wait. I am just working really hard to save some money.

Brandon is doing good. He is still in Baghdad. He and his wife are amazing. Erin has got to be the best sister in law ever. God truly blessed my brother.

Julia is working really hard and plans on Seattle Pacific in the winter. It will be really hard when she is gone. It will feel like me being in Seattle and her home again..

Well everyone I am going to go to bed. Night eveyrbody ...
Wish me luck with my interview

8 Months cancer free!

So the other day I had my routine check up and they declared me 8 months cancer free. I am so excited that i feel like i can live a healthy life. Come January Julia will be going to Seattle Pacific University and I will hopefully be going up with her and getting a job. I hope that all works out. I will be finishing up one more semester at River this year and then time to head off.

Things after my surgery have been good. I am feeling better but still really sore. Nothing I cant handle. Im so used to being poked and just pain its funny. So my jaw is still really painful and I have not quite been out in the world and gone to far.

On a more tearful note, my friend Aimee Couch, the girl that had been battling Leukemia for the second time passed away on Tuesday. That was the day I was supposed to go and see her. =(. I know that she is not in anymore pain and she is in heaven. Aimee was one of those girls that had one of those smiles that was infectious. She was bright and I am so glad I met her. Keep her family in your prayers....
