me.

August 19th, 2008 | Category: special/updates

I’m sorry for the neglected blog lately.  There has been a bit of activity in the Knobloch house lately, and I think it’s time I fill you guys in.  About 7 weeks ago, I found a nodule in my neck.  After several doctors appointments, and almost 2 months of anxiety, I was able to get into a specialist last week.  He has recommended a CT scan & biopsies.  Long story short, I have several nodules in my neck one of them being larger than the others, which is considered to be a mass.  I have some swollen lymph nodes too which he wants to check out.  I’ll be going in for my scan & biopsy next Monday (25th) and won’t get results until Sept. 2nd when I see the specialist again.  If the blog is quiet in the meantime, it’s because I’m just not feeling all that up to posting right now.  I’ve been a bundle of nerves the last 2 months and until I get some clear cut answers I doubt I’ll be any better :)  Worst case scenario: the mass is malignant and we will be looking at thyroid cancer  (which happens to be the most curable cancer there is) and I’ll be going under the knife to get some things removed.  Best case scenario: the mass is benign and we have to decide if we just watch it or remove it.  I’m obviously praying for the latter, and covet your prayers for the same. 

I know I sound a little relaxed about it all,  but I’ve also had 2 months to obsess think about it,  and I really have a peace that certainly surpasses my own understanding.  We have seen our share of heartache and trials the last 4 years, and I really feel God has prepared me for this time and place.  I know He will carry us in those moments that we feel we cannot walk through, just as He always has. 

All that to say, SKP will continue just as it always has…although proofing & orders may not be fullfilled quite as speedily as usual over the next 2 weeks.  I wll be hiring an assistant next month that will be taking care of orders, packaging, some emails, etc which will help tremendously.  I thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition! 

Much love,

S

We did some scans and such and learned that it was benign. I ended up getting it removed and part of my thyroid as well. I totally know what you are going through! You are in my thoughts and prayers. - Jenna W (friend of Katie Albritton) (08/19/08, 10:00 pm)
