All I can say is please please pray for me. My parents do not want me posting what has happened so all I will say is I was kicked while I am down today where it hurts the most... my kids today by someone who does this everytime I am vulnerable. My parents are handling this for me. Just pray hard. The devil herself has tested me and lets not let her win. Please please please pray for me and my family in this situation.

Day of Surgery - Posting by Brandi's dad
Don Nugent added the following: ----- Surgery is complete ... Brandi is doing great. Surgeon removed the mass and the auxiliary lymph nodes. Dr Liles (pathologist) will test the lymph nodes to determine if the cancer was contained to the breast. We should have the results by Thursday. Brandi will be in room # 5029 @ St. Francis Medical Center. Thank you for your prayers.

Ads you see.
No I do not endorse any of the ads you see. It is just with the mounting doctor bills I was desperate to try something to help out. Needless to say I earned 1 cents yesterday. If that is the rate it is going to go I will cancel it. They are super annoying to me. They probably won't be around long.
Night before surgery. Nervous wreck is an understatement!!!
Why does time fly when you are dreading something????? I got the sentinol node injections today. Yeah they were very painful while they were being administered, but afterwards the pain went away. I am a trooper and I had my friend Shae there. That made it better that I wasn't alone. My friends are calling me smurf b/c of the injections. No I won't go into details. My friends are the greatest. Allison bought me a beautiful breast cancer ribbon necklace that I can't wait to wear and her and my other best friend Stephanie bought me several jogging sets that I can wear home and around the house while I can't pull on shirts. They are my best best friends. I will miss them tremedously when I move downtown, but I promise we will get together outside of work. We may just have to have a "Sex in the city" group with tagalong kids. They are also talking about throwing a fundraiser dinner to help me with all of these mounting doctor bills. I hope I never have to return the favor, but they know I'd be there in a heartbeat for them!!!!
The kids are dropped off at their destinations. Brooke is staying with another dear friend of mine Dana's and her daughter Sarah. Brooke was super excited. She kept thanking me for having surgery so she could stay with Sarah. No I didn't take it wrong. She's only 8. She will then stay with her KK until Sunday. Jarrett will be with my inlaws until I return home from the hospital. Thankgoodness I put my foot down and made hubby let him stay away from home. It would have been a hard transition atthe time and I would have worried about him wanting to come home. I know he loves to stay there and barely even thinks about us.
I am packed and everything is ready for tomorrow. I have one issue I have to deal with tomorrow with one of my surgeons. He gave me pain pills I am alergic to. I went ahead got it filled b/c I have to bring it to the hospital, but I will ask him to please not give it to me. It makes me violently ill and I don't want that after surgery!!!!! Why do people fill the need disagree with when a dr tell me I'm alergic to it. The pharmacist said it was just a side affect, but it doesn't do my hubby that way just me.
Well I better go update on all of my other sites people like to check. My Dad will do the updates until I feel up to it.
Love you guys!!!!

Happy Anniversary Sweetie.
Hubby and I have been married for 6 years today. Can you believe we've only been married for 6 years and we're having to deal with cancer. Doesn't seem real, does it? I am going home in a minute to pack the kids up and wash all of their clothes. I typed up a cheat sheet for my children's keepers. I hope it will make it easier. I just put what time their game is and what all they must bring to daycare each day and things like that. Not anything hard, just some minor details they need to know. I will try to get bunches and bunches of hugs and kisses today b/c tomorrow I can't hug them b/c I'll be radioactive per my rad tech friend and doctor. How many want to bet hubby will be scared to come near me tomorrow????? I think he will, but only b/c he knows I won't like it if he steers clear of me. He has been good about all of this. He has attended all of my doctor visits and is constantly asking if I'm ok. He is also trying to make me gain 50 pounds. HaHa. That isn't a bad thing since I can't have red meat or spicy foods during chemo. Might as well eat up now. No Mom I'm not overdoing it in the food department. I am just not dieting. I am superly enjoying regular cokes right now. I will diet when all of this is over. Maybe I won't have to. Maybe chemo will make me loose weight. A girl can only dreammmmmm. I did get to splurge on crawfish last night thanks to my PaPaw. They were awesome. If anyone is looking for the best they are at Randall's gas station and they are $1.75/ pound boiled. Yes I am the expert I promise. I have had them everywhere and those are my favorites and the price is the bomb as well. Also tonight I have to divide all of the cookie prizes for every girl scout in west monroe at my house. Ughhhh. Hope tons show up to help so it won't take too long. Thank you all for praying for me and my family. Love you.
Life right now. Yeah I forgot my wedding anniversary.
Oops. I told hubby when I married him that I was going to be the forgetful one. Yeah I forget things like our anniversary when something else is on my mind and right now my health is on my mind. Today is our anniversary. We went out to eat and to the movies a couple of weeks ago to celebrate it so we should be good. I probably do need to stop by and buy him a present on my way home or a card. I just am not in a romantic mood right now with surgery on my mind. I am also at a loss on what to buy him. Guys have it easy. They can get us flowers and we are exstatic. Someone needs to come up with a guy version of flowers that could be the norm on what to get them that they would be excited. Maybe a certain tool or something guyish. I'll probably get him a gift card, but I know he'll take forever to use it. Ughhhh. Why are they so hard to buy for??? I guess I better go think of what to buy him.
