Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
Approximately 760 days ago our world was turned upside down. A new chapter in our life had started only 10 short months prior with the blessing of our son, Kennick. We both just turned 30 and were on top of the world with our whole life in front of us. It was then our world was turned upside down...
It is now 25 months later and we took the same car ride we have taken dozens of times to Nashville to see the oncologist. The trip down was quick and we didn't even have to wait at the doctors office too long for once. We spoke with Dr. Peacock for a little bit and we have made it past the 2 year mark!! Karalee had been taking a Lupron injection and after talking about it for a little bit we all decided that she no longer needed to take that. Dr. Peacock said "congrats, see you in 6 months."
As we walked out of the office it was a very strange feeling to not have anything for 6 months. A half of a year with no doctors appointments, scans, screens, pokes...nothing...
I mentioned in the first paragraph that our lives were turned upside down. In looking back at the struggles, heart aches, fear, joy and the whole cornucopia of emotions that we went through I realize how truly blessed we are. Our faith is stronger, our love is stronger, our family is stronger. Our family and friends have blessed us beyond belief! I have seen a wonderful metamorphosis happen in Karalee and she has been an inspiration to me.
Thank God that prayers are indeed answered. Congratulations! And all the best wishes for all 3 of you in the future. (Oh yeah, and Go Hawks!)
