I am not good at waiting...

So we have been playing the waiting game. Its a game I admit I am not very good at playing.  In my favor we have been super busy so I have a lot
of distractions.

School is in full swing. Dance and fall baseball have started, but I owe some of you an update. Honestly I haven't had a new information to share about me as of yet. 

Hannah is due for labs which will tell us if another iron infusion is needed. 
She seems to be responding to the Actemra well this time. We finished her second infusion at Hershey and can now schedule closer to home.

I have been fairly lucky up to this point to schedule my doctor 
appointments near the same time as hers as to not miss so much work but 
it is a challenge. So on Monday afternoon I saw the Hematologist who took a boat load of blood. Twelve tubes to be exact and scheduled me for a chest 
x-ray and ultrasound of my spleen and guess what we do next? You got it 
wait. 

Besides bruising easier than before and having to take a nap whenever the chance arises, I am hanging in there.

Hannah, Lucas and I read together almost every night. Our book right now
is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. My favorite quote so far is this "Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two 
days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't 
empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength." In this waiting game it is difficult not to worry or get ahead of myself.
  

I am finding strength in Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. 

Oh and this makes my life full,new company dancers and top team for 14 & 15 year old's.
