Busy Week

David's surgery is now a sure thing. It will be happening on Monday, May 4. I am very glad that this is coming quickly since David's eye is visibly deteriorating on a daily basis. I will be glad to get the cancer out, and am actually feeling a bit nervous about them finding things in the surrounding tissue. It is so hard to keep your mind from going places and running through scenarios. Rob will also be going out of town next Wednesday for work, so that will be a challenge on both of us. It will be hard for him to be away, and it will be hard for me to have him away, but thankfully it is just a short trip. Please pray for the tests on those tissues to come back negative for cancer, and also pray for peace of mind and spirit for our whole family over the next few weeks. Our small group at our church has been a wonderful support to us, and they will be providing us with meals that week which will be such a blessing!

We won't know what time the surgery is scheduled for until Friday afternoon, but I will try to post it here for you all so that you can be praying while David is in surgery.

On a lighter note, we are under contract to buy a house in Clemmons, NC. This is only about 10-15 minutes away from Rob's office. It is a lovely house with a big yard for the kids to play in. It has wonderful mature trees - something that we didn't have at our old house making it hard for the kids to enjoy playing outside on hot days. It even has a tiny little creek running through the property! We have our inspections on it today. Pray for wisdom on our parts as we go through this whole process. There are still a lot of things that could make this deal fall through, so this isn't a sure thing yet. We are hopeful, but we are looking mainly for God's will in this situation.

The big kids seem to be dealing well with David's situation for the moment. I know that reality will come crashing in when David comes home on Monday evening with a swollen patched up eye. We will need a lot of wisdom and patience at that time.

Thanks again for all your love, support, and mainly prayer!
