Waiting....

We are waiting once again. We waited for results from the blood tests, we waited for results from the ultrasound and now we are waiting for results from the CT Scan. I was blessed to wait with the women from my church at our Women's Retreat over the weekend as we anticipated having the CT Scan. I was so encouraged, so loved, so prayed for!! I cannot believe how much people care and take time out of their lives to pray for us, check in with us, send cards, notes, gifts, do research for us, etc...it is really, really amazing. What an awesome support network. I am starting to blog, not because I want the calls and emails to stop...but because I can't keep up!! What a wonderful problem to have! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Several people have mentioned "bothering us" with their calls or emails...that couldn't be further from the truth! Your support is so welcome and so meaningful to us, truthfully I am worried that it will stop and I will feel alone in all this, or you will get tired of updates and hearing about this.

The doctor has been great, he called Monday afternoon to let us know there were no results yet and he would be out of the office on Tuesday so we wouldn't know until Wednesday. I am using this time to prepare for our next conversation. I have so many questions!

We are trying to go ahead with life as usual as much as possible. Life as usual makes her very tired. She went to dance class and spent the night with a friend last night. She is absolutely wiped out today....playing quiet things, napping at home group, in bed asleep when I came to tuck her in. She has dark circles under her eyes most afternoons. I am feeling the need to limit what she does so she has the energy to survive this, but I don't want to take away her freedom. I am hoping she will self-regulate as she recognizes she isn't feeling very well. She has a hard time telling friends she can't do things, but she can always blame it on mom.
