To My Daycare Families -

I have decided to close down Great Valley Daycare. This was not an easy decision to make but it is the right one for me and for my family. As many of you know I have had health problems for the last 6 months that have hampered my ability to provide, what I feel, is top quality care for your children. I am just no longer able to keep up the pace that a full daycare setting requires. The last day of care will be Friday, January 28th.

Please know that your children have held a very special place in my heart. We have had a great deal of fun playing, laughing, learning and creating together over the last few years. I will treasure those memories. Please keep in touch and thank you so much for being a part of Great Valley Daycare.

Sincerely,

Julie Reynolds

It’s been bittersweet. Not the joy I expected but definitely a sense of relief. I am ready to close this chapter of my life and begin a new one.

I have not heard anything on my lab results yet and don’t imagine I will until Friday morning when I meet with my doctor. I imagine that’s not a good sign if they aren’t calling me with any news and waiting for the doctor to break it to me. But we will see.

I know I could call and get the results if I wanted to but frankly I won’t. Part of me is just a chicken shit to be honest and part of me just wants to enjoy these few days. If indeed I have cancer and find this out on Friday I will be forever changed. I would like to have these last few days of “normal”.

I don’t imagine I’ll post again until Friday after my appointment so send me those good vibes and prayers please.

    Sweetie, just because they haven’t called does not mean it is bad news. In fact when I had my mri to be tested to see if I had MS….. they called me to make an appt. I was freaked. I figured they wouldn’t make me come in unless it was bad……but they made me come in just to tell me everything was normal! And my other doctor only calls me if the tests are NOT normal. So hopefully no news is good news
    Still praying for you hun.

    I am going to second the comment mrs. diamond made, my doctor is always telling me that no news is good news - he way of saying if i dont call ya, don’t worry.
    and I am also sending the best vibes out there for ya. ((hugs))

    My doctor will not discuss ANY results over the phone ~ good or bad. Keep a positive outlook and have faith!
    We’re praying for you!

    Hey Jules…
    I am proof that they do not always call when it is good new either. Once for my breast they did not call and I thought the same thing and then for two different endometrial biopsies. I thought for sure I had cancer and I hardly could even make it to the doctor. All three times I was fine and the doctor just did not think it was that big of deal to have to call me. You have to remember that they are just so hardened that they do not ususally live very emotional lives.
    I am sure you will be fine! Saying prayers for you!
    I love you!

    Keeping you in my prayers.

    I wouldn’t take it that way! Here they will NOT give you any results over the phone, they always have to be given at an appointment by your doctor. I would be thinking that if the results weren’t good, they would be wanting you in the minute the results were available! Keep thinking positive thoughts. My theory in these situations, is that I never assume the worst.

    Here are my good vibes and prayers for you…I’ll be thinking of you! Hugs!

    My thoughts are with you Julie. You’ll get through this.

  10. Philip on January 15, 2005 2:33 pm

    I’ll be praying for you, thinking of you, and crossing all my fingers and toes…
