OT Prayer for ....
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2009 12:25 pm
Some of you may have read my other posts asking for prayer, and again I ask for more prayer.
Over the course of the last two weeks my mother has been diagnosed with lung cancer. She is 71. The doctor is optimistic that this can be curable, if..we move hard and fast. The cancer is located on the outer wall of her right lung and is about the size of a dime. After a pet scan it has been found the cancer is at this time only in that spot. We will be moving my mother in over the course of the next few weeks or sooner pending on when they will do the surgery--which may be as early as next week. Chemotherapy and radiation will follow over the course of 6months to a year...
I know God is in control, even though I'm not. Yet I'm feeling so lost on what to do next. I keep telling myself, one day at time. I'm not sure how our homeschooling will be affected, as it is we started in August and are only on week 11 of CTC. I'm considering slowing down to half speed and extending her 7th grade year an extra year. I'm hoping that would allow for the extra time it will take to take my mother to the appts, and the care that will be needed in days following the surgery.
We desparetly need a new home, and have tried 4 different times over 2 years to put a new home on the property we live on. My husbands credit isn't the best. We can't move because the home we are in won't sell for what we need, nor can we just walk from it.
At this point, we will give my mom the toddler's bedroom and move Tiffy into our bedroom. We don't want to ask Kasey to share her room, she's a teen..she deserves her space and privacy, especially as Tiffy is definitly in that "sticky fingers" stage.
I realize I'm venting..I know I should be counting blessings instead of airing out complaints....
I tell myself that the blessings are more time w/ my mom... the children will have grandma to read them stories...memories and time that could and never can be bought....
Please, keep our family in prayer...
Suggestions for organization or a plan to juggle homeschool between elderly care would very much appreciated, but most of all prayer.
