Telling You

Last Thursday I found out that I have thyroid cancer and that I have to have surgery. When my mom and dad told me I felt scared. I know that some cancers can mean that you're sick. Some cancer means that you’re sick in a bad way. But my kind of cancer is a good cancer. When I think about my surgery during the day I feel scared and nervous because I never stayed in a hospitol before except for when I was born. My mom is going to stay in the hospitol with me the whole time though.that helps me to feel better.

Since I found out I have cancer mom and dad have been telling people that I am sick and I have cancer so they will pray for me. Hundreds of people are praying for me. Last night daddy's basketball team laid their hands on me and prayed for me.

Since I had cancer pepole are making cards for me it makes me feel speshel. I got one big huge giant one from the out loud team it made me feel happy and I got 3 in the mail 1 is from my teacher in promisland (its like Sunday school) and 1 is from miss Erin she is the prinsubull in promisland and 1 from great grandma mickey it made me feel good.

These are some of the emails I got………

This one is from my grandma carrie.

"Hi Emily,My name is Mrs. Stanger. I am Mark's Mom. He says we have something in common. Thyroid surgery. I had part of my thyroid removed in December. I expected it to hurt a lot, but I was surprised afterward that it really did not hurt too much. Plus, they gave me pain medicine to help the pain go away too. I thought I would have trouble talking, but I was able to talk normally afterwards. I was able to eat too, and I like to eat. So, a lot of the things that I was concerned about didn't happen. I was in the hospital about three days. If I needed any thing there was this button to push and they would answer and tell me that someone would come soon to help me.They did put a drain tube in my neck which they took out in a couple days. It helped keep the swelling down, and they put strips of tape over my incision so I didn't even have to have stitches. I can still see my scar, but it seems to fade away more each day.The best part is knowing Jesus. He promises us to always be with us through good times and bad times. He loves us and is concerned about us. He is the Great physician and we can pray to Him and he helps us to be calm when we feel afraid. He gives us strength when we feel weak, He comforts us when we feel lonely. The Bible says, "I can do all things through Him, who strengthens me". in Phillipians 4:13 So, we know we won't be alone through the surgery and afterwards.I will pray for you and am sure many others will be doing so, and it is a great privilege to pray for one another. I pray that you will soon be feeling as good as ever.

May God bless you real good,
Donna Stanger "

I thought is was nice that she had the same surgery as me and it made me feel better.
