Today is just another exciting day here at JH.  Kevin is wrapping his chemo around 1p.m., and after that we’ll be taking a walking/wheelchair tour of the hospital!  For the first time in over a month, Kevin will be moving of his own power out of the room, out of the floor, down an elevator and into the main hospital for a little tour.  We’re both excited to “get out” together.

Things are going so great-I cannot praise God enough for the quick turnaround in events.  Last week I said a prayer telling God I just didn’t think I could handle another downfall, another detour, another disappointment.  He heard my cry, and here we are.

Something I forgot to mention yesterday was that Dr. Thornton is taking Kevin’s case to the cardio-thoracic tumor board either today or tomorrow to talk to them about reconnection of what’s left of his esophagus to his stomach.  Although we’re not sure how the tumor looks, we want to find out what the possibilities are down the road should things improve even more.  We are so glad that Dr. Thornton is keeping that dream alive for us, and pushing ahead to see what can be done.  We were so excited to hear that she is taking such headway with prematurely looking at the options.

Here are some things we are truly looking forward to getting back to once we’re out of here:

-Go to the beach

-Cuddle with each other

-Just having more atmosphere and freedom to enjoy

-Go places

-See people

-“DATING”

-Start a normal routine

-Live in a house again

….these are just a few of our favorite things.

I am still searching high and low for a good, flexible job with amazing benefits.  Pray that opportunities come my way that will suit my qualifications.  I’m plan to head back to work in the next 2-4 weeks, depending on what I find.

Thank you for all your support.  Leave some love everyone for Kev to read as he prepares to be released!
