Waiting

Fall is settling in

Andy Stanley has a message series out that I've been watching online called In the Meantime. Its premise is: What do you do when there is nothing you can do? It's been a very timely message series... One thing I am finding through all this waiting is that I truly have so much to be thankful for. We believe wholeheartedly that God is good, and He will use all of this for good. Tyler is so strong, so determined. That strength can only come from one place.

One thing I am so grateful for is yesterday. After the pre-op, we decided to go have some fun. Tyler, Emily, and I went for a float and even caught a couple fish. :) Fall is really taking shape here in Alaska and it is just gorgeous... There is nothing like the crisp chill in the air, vibrant yellows and reds taking over the green, and basking in all the goodness with two of my favorite people.

Happy to be on the water! 

Her first catch this season

My biggest catch of the season... We named him Bill... 

Ty reeling one in

Yeah, another rainbow! 

I had been waiting for more information before I posted again... But, time allows me to write now so I am, though I still have little new information. It seems like "hurry up and wait" is our new mantra. Each doctor's visit requires another one, and it seems we are just in a holding pattern for a while before we can figure out exactly what we're dealing with. Ty has been to his doctor, a nutritionalist, and the surgeon this week. Surgery to remove a lymph node is scheduled for Monday; though, there is some concern he may have pneumonia. They took a chest x-ray yesterday and we're still waiting to hear back on that before we know if we can proceed with the biopsy on Monday. So, we will continue to wait, and be thankful for and make the most of all we have in the meantime!

Quick update... Chest x-ray was clear enough and Ty will get the biopsy done Monday!
