I can barely put this week into words. There have been some pretty low dips, but a complete tidal wave of kindness and support from our loved ones. Both have come in extremes, which has been a whirlwind to navigate, but I honestly could not be more grateful.
I imagine I will never be able to put my finger on the reason why we are so well supported. Why our story reaches as wide as it does. Why we seemingly have bottomless support while so many are without. There is some sort of survivors guilt attached to it, but I know that guilt is not from God, so I work intentionally not to dwell there.
We have spent the week waiting for an appointment that didn’t come. We made small headway towards the end of this week at least, and hopefully there is betterment in the week to come. While we have waited, we have been positively showered with love and care and thoughtful gifts we never even thought to ask for. So maybe around us are truly searching for ways to put into our family. It is incredibly humbling.
The list of people who have helped is already frightfully long, and I know for a fact there is more to come. I have confidence in Christ more than anything or anyone else. I feel like He continues to send people our way, and His gifts to us through them. Baked goods are showing up, since the world knows our children lives off of muffins for breakfast. Lunches are even good to go for a nice long while. And suppers are coming regularly. Not to mention help with the house, with rides, with the kids, and aaaaall the grace from everyone around us when we just simply cannot keep up.
Lots of change still to come. Next week, we will have more to share on Bradys treatment plan and how its all going to go. For now, we really hope to coast a little bit through this weekend.
Specific prayer requests, for those who want them!!!
💜 That Bradys function either maintains or even improves!!! No more decline in his mobility or function!
💜 Spiritual protection for our family, specifically our children! The battle is ON 🙌 And we are feeling that burn.
💜 Heavenly intervention in Bradys course of treatment, and that the oncologists make the right calls to give Brady the BEST quality of life!
We trust you, Lord. No matter what, You are good!
What a week.
