Yesterday and today I have spent a good amount of time on the phone getting things set up. I have an MRI scheduled for Thursday (12/31) and we meet with the surgeon on Monday (1/4). Although they believe that the cancer is only on my left side, they want to make sure they see the full extent of the cancer before I go in for surgery. They want to know exactly how big the area is, they want to check out the other side, they want to look at the lymph nodes, they just want to be really precise so they don't miss anything.
I decided today that I would write a blog because I could tell this morning that my son is already done with mom being on the phone. He just wants to play with mom. Between talking with nurses, getting referals, coordinating care, and talking with family and friends, I've been on the phone more than I want to be these past few days. I figured that by creating a blog I could kind of journal my experience and also have a place where family and friends can see how we're doing and where those who are praying for us could go so that they know specific things to pray for. Please don't take this as a don't call me. I just think that there may be times when I am not as available because I want to focus in on my family.
Specific things to pray for:
1. Continued peace for my family and I.
2. That the MRI would give us a really clear picture and that there will be no spread of or invasive cancer.
3. Wisdom for us as we make decisions about my care
Thanks friends.

We are praying. We are always available to watch Beckham or just to be available for a playdate to hangout; Whatever would be helpful to you. As I was reading my bible this afternoon and looking over some materials from Purpose Driven Life, I found a few verses that encouraged me in just how powerful and loving our Lord is:
ReplyDelete"I have carried you since you were born;I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old , I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you. I made you and will take care of you," says the Lord.
Isaiah 46:3-4
Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of-infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires,thoughts,or hopes.
Ephesians 3:20
I pray He will give you His perfect peace each hour of each day.
Love in Christ,
Mari
