Houston...here we come!

Well, the decision has been made that we are headed to Houston to finish the journey we started 5 weeks ago.

Tuesday Roy got a phone call that M.D.Anderson had accepted his case.  At that point he made an appointment with the oncologist here to get his thoughts on traveling to Houston to do all that has to be done.  Dr. Davis (who we really have appreciated and liked) understood completely and was willing to do whatever needed to be done from this end.  Stacy went with Roy to the appointment so that there would be a child involved to beable to relay everything that was said to the other siblings.  For some reason I don't think they trust Roy or I to get things straight...go figure???  Anyway, it is a relief to know which direction we are headed, I guess....I have had a roller coast of emotions...prayerfully this decision will calm my fears.

Today Roy got a phone call that he will have an appointment with the Anderson oncologist on Tuesday.  Sure messed up our memorial day plans...wonder if they know we have a life???  Ok, no thoughts on that from anyone reading this.  We will go down on Monday, see the doctor and hopefully get to come back home.  We are wondering if they are going to want us to stay the 5-7 days for their tests that they do.  Roy forgot to ask...where's a kid when you need them???  So, we aren't sure at this point how long we will be there.  It will give us a chance to look around at different options of places to stay during the 5 weeks that we have to be there for the chemo/radiation.  Sherri has already done some checking for us so we are confident that we will find some place to call "home" for awhile.

It's amazing how God can work in our lives if we are willing to let Him.  I did have a passing "message" the other day...I don't even remember what I was doing but I distinctly heard "it's going to be ok".  Now granted I wasn't told exactly what was going to be ok but something down the road is going to be good.  That is a promise I believe in.  We also have a nest of blue birds..not blue jays...Roy says its the first time we have seen blue birds, other than just a couple years ago.  We believe they are here for a purpose.  It is a family of 4 eggs and mom and dad.  The dad watches from the fence...kinda like he has been given the job to watch over not only his eggs but us too.

Please pray that what the oncologist tells us will be positive and we will have the peace to keep traveling the road we're on.

God is in control and holding our hands.
