Things don't always work out the way we think they should

My sister Natalie finished her chemo treatments about 3 months ago. Then she started her radiation and finished up last week. We were so excited. Nat moved up to Logan to attend Utah State. Then she started getting headaches. Nat and my mom went to Primary Children's on friday. The did a scan and found a blood clot in her brain and a grayish area. They needed to do an MRI to find out what that grayish area was, and if it is a possible problem. So the MRI was scheduled for Wednesday. She has been throwing up so much and is in so much pain. Well yesterday they went down and spent the day at Primary's. They fit them into get an MRI at 5:30 last night then told them they would call today with the results. They finally called this afternoon and what was thought to be a blood clot is actually a tumor. We don't know what is going to happen now. If it is between the bone and the brain matter, which they think it is then they might be able to remove it. That is what we are hoping for. I will post updates when I get them. I have realized through this last year and a half how grateful I am for the gospel and for our testimonies and especially for eternal families. I never imagined my family would ever have to go through anything like this. But I truly know that our Heavenly Father loves us and watches over us and I know that it is his plan not ours. I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and concerns.
