Family Emergency

So my mom went into the doctor (after some strong coaxing from yours truly) to get some problems checked out that she's been having. Well, the doctor found a fist sized tumor/cyst in her uterus and an ovary full of cysts. She had an emergency hysterectomy today at 2 and is now safely recovering at the hospital. She did really well and the tumor/cysts were all benign so now we just have to worry about recovery. She'll be down for quite a while no lifting, housework, etc for at least 6 weeks. I guess I know why the Lord hasn't helped our house go through. I'm a little worried about taking care of my mom, Ethan, the house, and my dad & Ry. I think PB&J will be on the menu for a few nights out of the week. Sorry guys! At least my mom will have a live in nurse available 24 hours a day and I can use my nursing skills that she helped pay for. haha! Say some prayers of us.
