The not so happy

I have to say, the end of February/beginning of March------not my favorite------to say the least.  We are feeling really grateful to be on the upside though.  We are outta here:

Hoping to never return even though it was a brand new hospital (open for only 2 weeks before Alexia's surgery).

We are also grateful that the mass she had removed was NOT cancerous.  We still have things to deal with but a cancerous tumor that size wouldn't have given us very good odds.
Thank you to all of our friends, family and co-workers, who called, visited, texted, emailed, brought dinner, watched kids, sent cards, sent many many gifts and who just simply cared what was going on in the Whetten family!  I can't believe the kindness we were shown.   Even by perfect strangers at the hospital. We will never forget it!
