One Moment and Everything Changes

I am going to see if I can document this. I can't guarantee anything. Right now it's making me feel better, but I have no idea if this will hold true.

I have no idea where the end of this journey lies, and I hope that if I can manage to maintain this blog, that I might also be able to help other parents with children diagnosed with craniopharyngioma. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing in my life has shaken and scared me this badly.

My son was diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma on 5/27/05. He'd been having recurring headaches, and his pediatrian had him in for a CT scan. About 3 hours later, the doctor called with this terrifying news.

My youngest boy has a brain tumor....

I have to maintain a calm outer demeanor, because I don't want to scare him. I look, and he's in the backseat cracking wise with his brother Gage. He's only 9 1/2 years old. I look at Gage, who's just turned 11 a week ago. This is one time Gage won't be able to have Conner's back.

One moment, one phrase, and my world is blown wide open, and darkness rushes into my heart.

One moment, and everything changes
