My bone scan results showed what we knew…more growth. Some new growth in my tailbone are, which explains the new pain I have been having.
In other news…we are not going to Hawaii for a few reasons, but the main one being that every activity is based around water and I have a tube coming out of my body and can’t get in water.
So we are going to Disney World, which was our first choice anyways! We booked a 10 day trip and are staying at the Coronado Springs Resort. We booked a casita that has a separate living room so we’ll have plenty of room to rent the recliner or bed I need.
We will go with no expectations except to have fun as a family. I will do what I can and rest as I need to. We will rent a wheel chair and they can take turns pushing me around. Tom and I will be flying in first class and the girls in coach.
So that’s what’s going on. We leave in 2 weeks. The girls need a lot clothes and are excited to shop together. Thanks to those of you who have offered to take them shopping, but they are fine going on their own (and have asked to).
This is a big trip and I’m so excited. Well be moving slowly, but it will still be fun. Please pray we all stay healthy. We are going to keep to ourselves as much as possible for the next couple weeks to help with that!
Will you especially be praying for my emotions on this trip? I never know what little thing is going to hit me. Tonight we were going through all the shoes we had and it looks like all 3 of our girls all wear a size 9 shoe. We’ve always been curious which one will end up being taller. Then I realized I probably will not be alive to see who is the tallest as Ashley is still only 11. I started crying. Why couldn’t I get cancer when the girls were older? I am going to miss out on so much!
May the Lord go before your family for this awesome trip. God is planning out all of the details and I feel quite certain is going to be beyond FUN and MEMORABLE!! Praying for you to be emotionally and physically comfortable and at peace. It breaks my heart to read about you leaving your family to join the Lord, and not to minimize anything, but I am so grateful you have beautiful, faithful and godly girls that are following the Lord and living out His Word so you KNOW you will be reunited and that will be FOREVER!! THE LORD IS YOUR ROCK AND REDEEMER!! Love you!
Why? I don’t know, but as we know God is in control even when we don’t understand. I pray for your family to have a wonderful time together ❤
So much courage and love! You are surrounded in prayer. No other words can convey how strongly I know your girls will be know you’re love beyond measure throughout their lives.
I will be praying for this trip! That is a special time for your family. Enjoy all the Disney magic!
I am so happy that you will have a good vacation and will be able to build wonderful memories. I will be praying for you.
This sounds so wonderful and I am glad you have the chance to do this as a family. We should all remember to make memories with those we love while we can because we just never know what lies ahead. I will be praying for you especially. ❤
Praying for all that you’ve asked! Praying that each of you enjoy and treasure the moments together. Enjoy⚓️✝️❤️
Praying for you and the family our dear friends. Love, Chuck and Bobbie
Like Lisa, I am praying for all of your requests. I pray, as well, for times of silliness and uncontrolled laughter as you enjoy your time together making lasting memories. Memories, for you, as you travel this difficult journey now and for Tom and the girls for “later”. Of course we pray that the “later” will not be for awhile yet, but the Lord knows and we pray for His peace to rest gently on all of you as you await His timing.. MUCH love and big hugs
I can’t wait to hear about your trip! I hope you share pics, as well.
My prayers will be focused on your health and your family travels!
“Ditto” to all the comments above!! Praying this will be a time of making special memories that will be enjoyed and lovingly remembered always…and that God will supply all the strength you need for each part of the journey!
You are amazing, just remember that! It is not quantity but quality and you are the BEST mom. In my 5 years at LWES, you have done more for your girls than most parents do in a long lifetime! You have amazing girls and husband because of you! You are my HERO! I love the Small Family! You have touched my heart and in my 42 years of teaching, I have never seen a more dedicated mom and family! Thoughts and prayers are with you guys and I hope you have an amazing trip! God Bless!
