When I got into the building to get my biopsy we went into the waiting room and stayed there watching Princess Sofia the first.
Then we were called in and a person got my vitals and took us to my room. Then a lot of people came in. One of them was a Child Life Specialist. She let me put some smelly stuff in my mask.
Then I went for a ride on my stretch bed. Then I got to breathe in the stuff when I got to my biopsy room. And then, before you could even blink I was in the wake up room. It was that fast! But, for mom and dad it probably took a lot longer.
Joanna I am so proud of you, you are in Gods hands, Thank you for sharing your journey that you are on, I will be following you all the way.I have you on our prayer list at my church. Sending lots of love to you , mom and dad.
Dear Joanna,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I know it’s not easy going through these things. I was really scared when I got my brain tumor diagnosis. Your mom was one of the special friends who helped make it less scary. 🙂 I’m praying for you and sending you a big hug!
Joanna, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Sharing everything you are experiencing helps us know how to pray for you better. Your are so brave and I know that God will comfort you and your parents and will use this difficult time to help you create an AMAZING testimony of his love.
Wow.
I always knew you were and are amazing, this blog just reinforces that knowledge. I talked to Grandpa Joe a couple days ago and he explained what he knew about your journey through “The Lump”. My thoughts, heart and prayers are with you and your mom and dad as you move forward through this trying time. Thank you so much for sharing this process with us.
Big virtual hugs to you my GREAT Niece.
