Persisting

We tossed and turned a lot last night. At 5:00 a.m. we were able to call and talk to the coordinator at the doctor's office. Their schedule has been upset by all of the weather, too. Basically she told us to get there when we can and they would fit us in. We were really encouraged by their sympathy and flexibility.

After talking with the coordinator I called the airlines. After wrangling a bit with times we were able to secure flights for next Sunday. Our appointment with the surgeon is on Monday. The good news is that there may be a possibility they can work in the surgery the same week. That would be amazing! Ironically if we see the doctor next Monday (the 15th), it will have been exactly a year since Marc's very first appointment diagnosing his cancer. 365 days exactly. Talk about a year to remember!

Another twist to ponder. They have the hospital ward that Marc will be in under quarantine this week for Norovirus. Our coordinator was relieved we weren't coming in today. With the nature of the operation, Norovirus is something that is a huge risk better not taken. I was very humbled by this information. For all of our persistence in trying to get to DC yesterday, it may be that it is best that we aren't there for Marc's sake. I have to believe that God is protecting my hubby. I just need to remember that the next time things don't go as planned. I think I'm a slow learner in this area!

That's the news from our corner. I doubt there will be more updates until next week. Thanks for praying!

With love and gratitude....
