FRIENDS & FAMILY: I have prayed that I would not have to write this and that the tests were wrong. I now have all the results and second opinions and it is the worst news a mother can ever hear. Blake is not in the clear and now I would do anything to just have the mold problems. It started with the chest x-rays when they saw something but maybe it was just the mold in his chest so we waited. Now the mold in his lungs has cleared up about 2/3s and you can see it clearly now. He has a very large mass in his left lung that is wrapping through his ventricle to the heart. In Sept he had an x-ray that was clear so this is rapidly growing. He also has linear and patchy opacity obscuring the left side of his heart extending to the left hemidiaphram. On the x-ray it looks like smoke across the chest but this is solid to show up on an x-ray. This is consistant with what they see in mesothelioma cases. Then add in that all his labs came in and he had a large amount of abstestos recently inhaled. We do not have confirmation yet on cancer they will have to surgically do a biopsy this coming week. But as they told me there is no positive outcome. No matter what he has a fast growing mass that is cutting off the supply of oxygen to the blood and is most likely non operable bc of where it is. Other complications is he has a right lobe atelectasis which is a closure/collapse of his broncheal tube, his blood sugar is not leveling out so he will now have type 2 diabetes too. He is now fully disabled with no physical activity until further notice and is on extreme amounts of steroids. So he wants to run a marathon but has to stay still...thank goodness for video games. Right now we are all having a hard time with our health, family, emotions and FAITH. I want everyone to know that this is not anyones fault. No matter what was in the house or whos house it was or who made us move there it was not anyones intentions to hurt us and we know that. This can either tear our family to shreds or bring us closer together. The petty problems everyone had are not worth my time or thoughts anymore. All of my energy will be to my son and finding the best care in the world. We need the love and support of eachother more than ever and Blake needs all the love from everyone in his life now more than ever. I DO NOT BLAME ANYONE so please dont blame yourself. Instead be the wonderful family Blake believes he has and maybe be a rock for me, Mike and Madison to lean on. Because we are crumbling right now and I dont know how to pick us up anymore. I LOVE YOU ALL AND PRAY WITH US.
