mid-week already...

this week is flying by. things are just about appearing to be normal. yesterday the kids went back to school after a 6 day unscheduled break. (thank the LORD they are back in school) tim went into work and i even went into work.

there are days that i wish i had another job. (actually winning the lottery would be nice). incase you are not aware, i work at the medical center where tim is being treated. what i do there is work in a dept called hematology. i process blood on patients and count cells, looking for normal cells and abnormal cells. there are many many reason why one would have a blood count done, but where i worked yesterday the primary reason is to follow-up on cancer patients. yesterday i had to call one of tim's doctors and tell him that one of his patients (that we have gotten to know) had the cancer come back...i haven't told tim and probably will not...but some nights i just don't sleep as well as other nights!!! the doctor was so sad, i was so sad, but this is where one's faith and trust in GOD has to come into play. we have to hold on to the faith that we are going to beat this cancer. keep praying for us...

tims medication changes are causing some minor side-effects but so far he seems to be working through them. he is determined to get OFF those steroids before they start messing with his bones. long term steroid therapy almost always leads to hip problems...so he wants to ditch the steroids as soon as he can. speaking of hips-my dad came through his hip replacement with flying colors-way to go dad!!!

i think tim is going into work again today...infact if all goes well, he is planning on working a bit each day this week. i am off until friday. i guess i have to re-organize the house today-after having the kids pretty much house bound with their friends for 6 days, it is in need of some TLC. (and some groceries-man those kids can eat)

well, as always thanks for checking in.
