Stitches!

Well it has been quite the weekend. Jared discovered a bump on his right forearm Friday morning. He went to the doctors and they said it was just a blood clot and to keep it warm and take some Advil. So he did that and it got bigger and bigger everyday. So Monday he went back in and the doctor said that he thought it was a sist or a benign tumor. So today we went in to have it removed.

This is what the bump looked like before we went in. kinda big for a blood clot... dont ya think?

Here is jared during the procedure, He watched the WHOLE THING!!!!! he was so interested to see the inside of his arm! I on the other hand had to tlook away the whole time and even without looking still had to talk myself down. I'm such a wimp!

Here is what they pulled out of his arm. It was a big ball of fat that accumulated right there in his arm. They said there really isn't an explanation for why they form in certain places and no way to prevent them. Interesting. We were sure glad it was not a Tumor or Sist.

He got stitched up with four stitches and a band-aid and we were sent on our way.

We are so grateful for friends who gave Jared a priesthood blessing. I'm sure that things would have gone a different way had we not had that blessing. We have been blessed and we are so thankful to our Father in Heaven for his watchful eye and love for us!

On a happier note Jared and I had a ward Cinco De Mayo party and made some salsa for the salsa competition and we won 2nd PLACE!!!! Woot Woot! We went to eat some of the salsa today and it had marinated all night and is very VERY very spicy!! It is now just for Jared, i can't handle that spicyness. Jared also won the Cinco De Mayo extreme musical chairs, we were full of prizes when we left! It was a blast!
