Waiting

 I know many are wondering if we got the call for results on the scan/surgery day… no news yet. We saw one of her doctors in the hall when we were leaving the hospital after the scan.  He was headed to look at the scan.  He told me that in the morning they would know the results… that was on Thursday… I’m assuming they are making a plan of action 🤷🏻‍♀️ this waiting is rough.  Taylor still has active bleeds in her lower Gi tract, so it kinda freaks me out if I dwell on it. 

The other day, we were riding in the car and Taylor felt pretty terrible (I think it was right before her second hospital admission).  This song came on the radio.  Taylor reached over and turned it up.  She said “this is my favorite song”.  Listening to the lyrics, I’m like, girl this is a good song.  “…. Without You, I fall apart… oh I need you, oh I need you, every hour I need you, my one defense, my righteousness, oh God how I need you…”.  Oh how we need Him.  I often think about how hard this would be without Christ.  Without the HOPE of Heaven.  Without Him calming our fears and soothing our souls.  Without Christ, there would be no family of God surrounding us with love and prayers.  What hope is there without Christ?  Honestly, how do people go through hard stuff without Him?  John 16:33 “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

He’s our Rock, our Salvation, He’s our Peace.  If you don’t know Him, you need to.  John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”


I will update when we know more!  For right now, Taylor is enjoying life as much as her weak body lets her 💓 she tries not to let it slow her down much 💓 Sweet, strong girl.

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...

12/6/22

 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...
