And the waiting continues ... I almost feel like if I was forced to choose one word to sum up my life it would be "waiting".
Lexie's blood counts are still not good enough to start chemo tomorrow. My emotions are all over the place ... I'm so happy Lexie is feeling good and we are free for a few more days, it's been a great break from the hospital. But then I'm frustrated and disappointed at the same time because the end is so far away and all these delays are prolonging it further. And then I feel guilty for being impatient as this particular delay is truly a blessing. Lexie's friends Mia and Gabi are here until Monday and now that we don't have to sit in a hospital room all weekend, we can actually do a few fun things. Which leaves me feeling grateful. It's a constant whirlwind of fleeting emotions.
Mackenzie and Steve are also with us in Cinci. Mack has an endocrine appointment and liver MRI tomorrow. Praying for complete healing and disappearance of her liver nodules. He is able!
We ended up returning to Cinci on Tuesday because Lexie was so anxious to get back to her school work. Honestly, she really missed her teacher who has gone above and beyond to build into Lexie's life. God truly orchestrated this special relationship and what an enormous blessing she is to us!
"Thank you Lord for knowing our needs and providing in more ways than we could imagine. We trust in Your perfect plan. Help us to be patient in the waiting. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on you and to surrender when we think we've got life figured out or a better plan than the here and now. Don't let Satan deceive us or tempt us with his lies, open our eyes and let us see more of you. We choose You, Your plan, Your will, Your way. Be merciful and gentle with us in our fragile state. Forgive us for all of our sins. We love You and praise You and trust You. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen"
