Answered Prayers

I'm sorry it has been so long since the last blog.  We have been waiting for the test results to come back.  Over the last week, God has been showing me that I am supposed to wait patiently, and put my hope in Him.  I am reading in Psalm, 


When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
Psalm 94:18-19


I was anxious over issues with insurance, the coming treatments, finances and waiting.  I am not just supposed to get through the day, but to focus on the Lord.  He has already answered so many prayers.  We have an incredible staff here that takes care of me and Nathan.  Nathan even got a baseball cap signed by a Saint Louis Cardinals player.  I have been able to go home regularly to see Isaac (YAY!!).  The insurance issues are being resolved.  My family has been an incredible support.  And a huge unexpected blessing, Nathan and Isaac get to meet today for the first time.

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him. It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:25 Nathan is doing great.  He has gained 2 pounds, 6 oz and grew over two inches, all in two weeks and two days.  Isaac is getting smarter by the day and talking up a storm.  He is not just getting to know my family, he loves them!!!  Shawn has been busy doing projects at my mom's house fixing things.  He is very gifted for that.  We should know results any day now who the donor will be.  Things will start happening very quickly then, and I will have regular updates.  They are still shooting for transplant at about a month, which is in a week and a half.  Chemotherapy will most likely start in 1-2 weeks.  We will keep you posted. I have to be reminded and work to keep my focus on him.  Once I did, he blessings have been amazing.  The peace he has given us is beyond comprehension.  To God be the glory.
