Honesty 12/3/22

 Full disclosure-  this surgery for Taylor is kinda freaking me out.  It seems like no option is a great or easy option, and that makes me sad.  She’s been so frail and low energy since she got home.  She’s usually so vivacious and perky and excited about everything.  I can tell she wants to be, but she just doesn’t have it in her 😭😭 Please pray for wisdom as we move forward.  I remember how much I hated making a decision when neither decision seemed like a good one (back when she was in cancer treatment)… and here we are again, making choices with her life, that are truly terrifying! But this issue is very life threatening and can be fatal, so it needs to happen before she has another bleed 😩 … it’s just scary.

Bad things kept happening 12/25/22

 I’ve been told, by more than one person, to share our “series of unfortunate events”.  I didn’t want to, because I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining or using Taylors situation to make people feel sorry for us… but I feel like maybe I should, to say “look how God has taken care of us, despite allll these things going on!!” And say THANK YOU for those that have prayed and given and encouraged us! So here it goes, it’s long and it starts to get almost humorous because it’s SO MANY things. It all started about 4 months ago.  Across our whole basement and through our garage a giant crack appeared (like broken cement, ran deep!!).  Right around that same time our washing machine, and dishwasher also quit (what should have been a simple installation of the dishwasher turned into a 3 day ordeal!!).  Then both suburbans decided to have twin problems and they both needed new brakes and fuel filters (randy fixed both things on both vehicles).  Not long after t...

How the second battle began

 This post on Facebook got 1 million comments 😳 Well, I was really hoping we would never need this page again and I planned to keep it closed forever.  However, on Tuesday, Taylor started bleeding heavily so we took her to the urgent care, where she continued to bleed, so we were then sent to the ER.  Over the next few very scary days, we found out by a scope that Taylor has Esophageal Varices.  Since she had such heavy duty chemos during her cancer fight, her liver- unbeknownst to us- had gotten hard.  Since her liver is hard blood couldn’t flow through it.  Her blood rerouted to her esophagus and she developed EV.  During the scope they tied off the bleeders, which put a band aide on the problem, but didn’t fix the blood flow issue.  They did a CT scan to check the liver and then to see if she has a safe way to reroute the blood to her heart.  The plan is to do a surgery to make a new pathway, if her liver is healthy enough.  We don’t...

 I know some of you were praying very specifically that God would show us a very clear path to take, where we had no doubt that His hand was in it.  He allowed some things to come together in my mind last night, from a Facebook memory.  Along with the fact that we are here with the top surgeon for this surgery, and the circumstances that brought us here- circumstances from a decade ago!!  I even tried to get in the way of God weaving this amazing plan, and he ever so gently moved me out of the way.  Anyway, all that to say, we have so much peace moving forward and I’m feeling ever so loved by the creator of the UNIVERSE, that He would work this plan and then let me put it together in my mind (to give us peace moving forward).  It was a God hug (God hugs leave me 🤯😍🥰).  Thank you for praying!  I will have an update soon about what will be taking place.  the doctors are doing their rounds and will be in here soon! (Taylor fell asleep on my h...
