In the beginning of January, Mike began experiencing some chest discomfort that ran down his arm. We would discover
it was the left anterior descending artery was 95% clogged.
It was the only one clogged but it was a big one. A crazy night
in the hospital culminated with a stent being placed the following
morning.
Fast forward to the beginning of last week.... Due to our medical
craziness that seems to be our daily existence I lost a case that
I truly enjoyed. To say that this year has not started out the best
could be an understatement.
However, it is all about perspective. Mike is still here, that is huge.
Although it could take awhile to find another case that will contribute
the necessary financial assistance... I am able to work more closely
with Hannah and Lucas with school. Something I have missed
terribly with my last case schedule was the daily ebb and flow of
schooling at home.
I love the verse James 1:2 in the new living translation. It says
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider
it an opportunity for great joy". I do not know what will happen
tomorrow or next week. Chronic illness and then cancer has
taught me to be grateful for each good day. To triumph in the good
days and trust in the bad days.
