Hello everyone this is Marie again writing for our family. :)
So, last week things were looking pretty good for my mom. She didn’t throw up for like 4 days in a row, she was getting her energy back, and ya it was great! Then on Sunday I think she threw up once, then Monday she threw up some more, and it kind of got worse from there. She decided to cancel her trip to Arizona for Easter because she was throwing up, didn’t have a lot of energy, and she was starting to get headaches. On Tuesday night her headache and throwing up got worse. My dad took her to the ER at about 10pm. They gave her some IVs then a CT scan. They got home at like 3am so it was a pretty long night. On Wednesday, Savanna was able to stay home from school to take care of my mom. She was calling doctors and doctors were calling all throughout the day. One of the calls from the doctors to Savanna was to tell us that the spots on my mom’s brain had grown. The doctors decided to start radiation on her brain immediately the next day which was Thursday. She went in yesterday to get some more IVs, then to start the radiation. The doctors also made her new schedule and gave her a MRI so they will be able to see more clearly the details that are going on with the spots in her brain. She will be having radiation on her brain for the next 15 days. Today my mom and dad went in again for radiation and hopefully they will be able to meet with one of our doctors to talk with them and ask them some questions. It’s Easter weekend though so a lot of the staff are out of town.
My mom’s condition has changed quickly in the last few days so none of us were quite prepared for it. We were all sad that she had to cancel her trip to AZ; hopefully she’ll be able to re-schedule that as soon as possible. We are so grateful that we live so close to the hospitals and doctors that can help us. We’re also grateful for all the prayers that are said for our family. Those prayers are seriously what help us get through each individual day. We believe this is only the beginning, and more hard times are coming. But we will get through this with the Lord’s help. Thank you again for your continued prayers and love. We love all of you! Thank you!!!

Cancer is a tough battle, but faith can overcome anything. I'm so sorry it's been such a tough week for your Mom. It really puts things in perspective for all of us about life. She has such an amazing attitude. I think you can't help but get discouraged when the news isn't so good. We're so sorry she and your family are going thru such a hard trial. We remember your mom in every single prayer we offer. There's got to be better news coming around the corner. Afterall, many people will be fasting AND praying for your Mom on this special Easter Sunday. Hang in there Davidsons!
Just checking for updates...... I forgot to tell you that Randy & I were in Phoenix week before last for his meetings. We thought we'd go to a session at the Mesa temple one evening. When we drove up there were HOARDS of people. Come to find out there's this huge Easter pageant going on and the temple is closed. We were sorry we couldn't put your name in the temple there. It sounds like you have family there tho and hope you get that make-up trip to Arizona real soon. Sorry it didn't work out this week.
Marie,
Thanks for the update on your mom. So sorry she is struggling right now. Things should turn around for the better soon. She is in good hands with those doctors. Please tell her that she is loved and thought about constantly. Hang in there, Marie. Take care!
Thanks Marie for the update - I know it is hard to write about difficult trials. We love you all - and include the whole family in our prayers - I know this is very difficult for each member of your family. Cherish the good moments you have - the Lord will continue to bless you.
