Curt's mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last week. She broke her arm about 10 days ago opening a pickle jar (yes, you read right). It turns out there is tumor in her arm and throughout her body, and the emphysema in her lungs is actually cancer. Add to that, Curt's sister was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer earlier this year. Thankfully, she is now in remission but obviously she can't take care of their mother. Curt and I are flying up to Seattle this weekend to see the family and sort out his mother's affairs. She is feeling well right now but we know that likely won't last long.
Curt's family was supposed to come here for the holidays but that trip is now postponed indefinitely. With that and the rescheduling of Adrienne's chemo, we'll be having a quiet holiday season with some friends here in Nevada. Hopefully the chemo won't be too difficult and Adrienne can enjoy her time off school.

You have so much to worry about! I hope your trip to Seattle helped to sort some things out and arrangements could be made for Curt's mom's future care. I'm sure it was good to be together with the family to share support.
Fondly,
Susan
I'll be praying for all of you. Hopefully you can still have a good Christmas. Please keep us posted. Love,April
