Doing Battle, Week 39

This week there is not much in the way of news. We are in a holding pattern, waiting for our surgery date. Ideally, my surgeon would have liked to have operated maybe last week, but she wanted to honor my desire to attend a family vacation that's been planned for quite some time. When it was booked, we knew I had cancer, but thought it would surely all be a distant memory by the last week of June.

It didn't work out that way, but I'm grateful to be here. And I'm also ready for surgery. Surgery may quite possibly be our last step of dealing with this craziness and I am all for being on the other side of it! Next week we'll be ready to roll, but for now I soak in this bit of summer and amazing family time in this beautiful place. I have the best people, both here and at home.... there's no team members anywhere I'd rather have.

Thank you for standing with us, for caring, for praying. For coming back here each week to read about what's happening in our lives. My heart is full.
