They incidentally found lesions all over her liver which that is not good. And they went and did a biopsy, she's benign, but we went back in and through that whole week we just thought here's this awesome girl whom we love and it's not good for her. So I was kind of going on and then my sisters as I told you last week she had brain surgery for to remove a tumor. When she got out of the surgery that was not going well her speech was not returning, and she's a principal in Bryan College Station so she needs her speech and so we were kind of dealing with that.
