Well, it's been pretty hectic and stressful here lately. Justin's mom, Vicki, has been sick for over a month now, and we found out last week that she has cancer. It isn't really clear yet what type she has, but we know she's going to need chemotherapy and radiation to follow up from last week's surgery.
She was in the hospital for a week, and had family and friends there to help her out. Since Monday she's been home, and we've been helping out, along with Justin's sister Andria. When the pain medications are actually working, Vicki feels pretty good and we've been spending as much time with her as possible (before we head to Zanzibar in a week).
Some people have been asking how Juma is doing with all this. Basically, he knows Grandma is sick, and he could tell you how cancer means "cells aren't listening to their DNA and are just making more and more without stopping," but he is fairly clueless about it, really.
Thank you for the well wishes, thoughts, flowers, texts, and support that have come this way. Vicki really appreciates the prayers, and knowing she has people who are thinking of her.
