Wow...God's Hand is All Around

"Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.  They shall mount up on wings as eagles. They shall run and not grow weary.  They shall walk and not be weak."  Isaiah 40

I have received this verse 5 times from different individuals today...so much so that my brother has asked me to look up cancer on google and see what verses come up!  This one does not....I do believe God's message is coming through loud and clear.  It has been an incredibly long week...it seems like it has been months.  satan has had a "heyday" messing with our lives and creating waves and wind..interference...and after each interference today, someone would send this verse....Yes, I had 5 interferences today....and God reminded me after each one "to wait upon the Lord".  So I learn to be obedient and wait. (or try to...sometimes I move forward to quick and have to be reigned back in.....)  Still not sleeping well...but it is good, I can use the time when everyone else is in bed to work (I get alot done without any distractions!!!!!) plus I am awake for mom's meds!

Mom did wonderful getting her central line.  She had a nurse that was amazing...just amazing.  His name was Tony. Tony didn't even get frustrated with me and my million questions about how they use their equipment and why some of their protocols are different from ours in insertions. The nurses do them and they are all ultrasound guided for you sonographers out there.  (point of care ultrasound at your service).  They do not bill for the ultrasound, though....Any way, back to the real world...she did great.  She was so scared and so nervous but came out smiling and laughing with her nurse Tony!  Who would have thought.  She ate alittle better today.  Tomorrow, we begin chemo.  I have to go to a class to learn how to take care and flush her central line.  Should have gone to nursing school!!!!!!  She talked alittle today about realizing that she may not have much time...this was very hard. But I acknowledged that and we talked about needing to find the things that she loves to do and do them!  If you have any ideas, let us know!

Today we went and looked at apartments.  We found one area in particular that seemed good.  So very expensive though when you are looking at the reality of not knowing what sort of lease to sign......are they looking at 1 month, 2 months, 12 months?????  And we have to rent furniture and bedding and dishes!!!!!Any way, we were having difficulty finding just the right fit with the lease and such.  One of the ladies at the apartment complex asked if we had checked with the churches here.  I said that we are on a waiting list but that it takes up to 3 months to get to the top.  Well, later in the evening when it seemed that all was exhausted in finding a place to stay, I received an email saying it was urgent to call her.  When I did, I found out that one of the church people stopped by to check on something and she told him about us AND he will call tomorrow to let us know if he can help us with finding a furnished room with no lease!!!!!!!! Isn't that amazing??? Just amazing!!!  I will let you know how it turns out.  There isn't a limit on the lease so hopefully mom will be there for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  or we finish this quickly and get to return home to live a long time!  Again, thanks to all who have offered so much help!  Love you all,
