All Saints- Nov. 3rd-7th

Good afternoon families! I wanted to clarify what happened last week. Two years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy and was told I was cancer free in June of the following year. At a doctor's appt. four weeks ago, the doctor recommended that I go again for radiation imaging after seeing something on an ultrasound. This involved traveling to Parker four days last week. As you can imagine, it became exhausting. I told your children that I had a sickness in my throat and the doctors just wanted to make sure that it hadn't come back. I don't have results yet, but because you are all apart of my family, I wanted to ask for prayers that God's will be done. I am so blessed to be able to teach your children and couldn't ask for a better support system.
