Waiting.....

Got Matt home a little after 5 p.m.  That is how it goes when we get admitted via the ER.  We have to wait for the hospital to release us, even though we new since 6 a.m. that Matt would go home today.  Wait, Wait, Wait. 

Terry saw the dr. this morning to confirm they will remove his gallbladder tomorrow afternoon.  He will stay over night at the hospital but should go home on Wednesday.  Again, it will be a day of waiting, I'm sure.

I'm wondering, at this point, have we now paid for our own room yet.....or do we get a two for one special???  Just saying......

Matt will be back next week as planned for his third consolidation chemo.  In the midst of my waiting for Terry's appointment to be over today, I met a very sweet lady going through her second battle with breast cancer.  We spoke quickly about each other's journey's.  She had been cancer free for five years only to learn it has come back stronger than before.  It was amazing to hear her speak of how different her treatment is this time around....how it is less stressful for her body and how thankful she is.  I don't think I can describe just how frail and weak she looked compared with how she spoke with such joy and gratitude.  I didn't get her name, but I would ask that you lift her up in prayers....God knows who she is.  Not to compare Matt to her, but I'm so thankful Matt's journey really hasn't been that difficult, when I think of how much worse it could have been.  Matt has been protect by God through so many prayers...hopefully one day he will look back and be able to see how great his life is with a purpose!

Hope you all felt the love today!  Have a great week.
