"Abnormal Pap"

Not the words you want to hear as Maddy is asking for some milky and Landon is doing what Landon does best . . . crying.  I walked into the garage to finish this conversation from my doctor.  I was even able to tune out the sound of little hands trying to turn the door knob but she couldn't get to me because of the child safety cover!  So the world stopped for a short time . . . 

No easy way to put this one . . .

I just wanted to let my friends and family know that I got a call today from the Dr. and he said I had an abnormal pap.  They found some abnormal cells in my cervix.  I asked a few questions and from what I gather there are two levels of abnormal cells-high and low.  Unfortunately, I am in the highest range.  They will be calling me tomorrow to schedule a LEEP procedure.  I had no idea what this procedure was until I researched it today.  Chances are great that the cells are just pre-cancerous and they will be gone after the procedure and then on to normal visits for me!  I just wanted to make everyone close to us aware of the situation.  I have shed a few tears but logically I don't have enough info at this time to be too upset.  On the super bright side we have 2 lovely kids and thats all we need so LEEP away Dr. Marichal!
