I told Crystal this is her story. Her story to tell. One that will touch someone in a way that may remind them to live life a little more fuller. Take the vacation they haven’t yet, hug their kids a little tighter or maybe to help them remember what they were once passionate about. Life is always changing….
High School Friends have a get together!
Written March 30, 2013 7:00pm
We have cried for the last three days but we still have a smile on our face. Why? Because we are learning and hearing about all of the prayers and support we are getting. We are getting them from all over the world. It is such a wonderful feeling and it reminded us of how lucky we really are to get this kind of support.
Crystal has some very dear friends who got together to see her before her big trip to Mayo. Oh Crystal, what wonderful memories you have made for being only 20 years old.
Learning of the tumor
Written March 27, 2013 9:00am
After learning of the tumor in Crystal’s pancreas that spread to her liver. Her family doctor made phone calls to the Mayo Clinic and got us in right away. They were even shocked how fast they got her in. Monday, April 1st was going to be the start of our journey to the Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Geodken and his team, including his office staff were comforting and supportive. I feel they were taken back with Crystal’s prognosis. Dr. Geodken was very open and honest.
He was also going to be writing a letter to our insurance since we had learned that it did not cover Mayo.
We made phone calls and began contacting the people that we see on a regular basis. I must say that was extremely difficult. The fears of the unknown.
