sorry...again

time keeps ticking away, and it seems like NOTHING's getting accomplished. we are already coming up on his next treatment next Monday, and it seems like he just finished. man!

(since i started this little bit of a blog, randy got out of the shower and said that he had an emergency... once i swallowed back my fear, i realized all he needed was for me to change his dressings. the problem was, he was walking around the house with out anything covering his Groshong, which is bad, considering you have to have sterile gloves and masks on to change it... anyways, i yelled for everyone to stop moving, told him to go to bed and lay down, and DO NOT SPEAK! probably overkill. but oh well. that's part of my personality. get over it folks. so as i was changing it, sweet sweet Sarah Hays brought dinner which was amazing, you should be jealous, and i couldn't visit because i was still steriled up. until the kids opened the bedroom door and let the dog in, who jumped on the bed, and the kids preceded to play with ON THE SAME BED I WAS WORKING ON RANDY ON. Sarah left. we ate. now I'm back)

so Monday he goes back in for round 3. we're going back to the same chemo that cost him his hair. no one's excited. he's depressed. I'm tired. the kids are acting out. GOOD TIMES!

What a fantastic article! How amazing God is with his million ways he cares for us and reaches out to others so we can care for each other. I saw a bucket in a store the other day taking donations for Randy too. I pray that in the midst of the hard moments, you feel the love that surrounds you. Many prayers and sanitary hugs! :)

True confession...I had to read twice the part about "walking around with nothing covering his Groshong." Groshong? I thought. Is that a new term for...? (well he had just gotten out of the shower!). So glad you went on to explain. I feared for TMI! That was my giggle for the day. Hope it does the same for you!

Carrie, I thought the exact same thing. I thought maybe that was her term for "it"..... :) Glad I wasn't the only one.

Kristyn, sending hugs and prayers your way; I can't even imagine what you are all going through.

I had to do a double take on the "Groshong" word as well. :) I am praying guys, hang in there!
