The Journey Continues....

It has been a week since we have written a post or have communicated with people, for that we apologize.  A week it has been....  We came home on Sunday.  I stayed home with Kent on Monday.  It was a day of "gingerly" walking around the house, a long shower with many tasks that should come easy to one, they were hard and required help from a wife made caretaker.  A 20 lb weight limit made simple tasks as lifting a computer to his lap and holding certain things hard.  Kent takes plenty of naps as this task he has no problem following the doctors orders on the other hand other doctors orders are more difficult to follow.  Walking and keeping things moving is not one of those things he enjoys doing.  He also doesn't like moving out of the house.  I think he feels safe and knows what his limits are if he is at home.  The one exception is that he has wanted to go to church for a week now.  I don't blame him as I wanted to go when I was cooped up when I had surgery.

Today, the weather was nice, so I thought it would be nice to go for a ride to see Kent's work and visit.  The ride down was great and the visit was great as well.  We then left with intentions to go for a quick bite out before returning home.  We made it around the corner and had to pull in to a parking lot quickly  as Kent needed to make it out of the car.  Unfortunately, he didn't make it all the way.  This action was due to an empty stomach and a mix of Miralax.  That stuff is terrible, for anyone :(   Kent is resting comfortably in his chair and we will try some good food later on this evening.  We have been treated to some food from a co -worker of mine and maybe that will be the comfort Kent needs right now .    As a side note we are thankful beyond words for all the meals and care people have done for us.  We are just brought to tears as we a humbled by those remembering us.

Lydia is doing well.  She seems to like school. She's doing some school work after school with my cousin at Sylvan Learning, and along with that she stays busy at Gymnastics and Gilda's Club.  Gilda's is a support group that she is able to be with other kids and discuss Cancer.   She has made many friends and even went on the night of Kent's Surgery by herself.
  I am doing somewhat okay.  I defiantly am frustrated not knowing how to help Kent. At times I don't know how to manage Lydia by myself as sometimes it requires both of us.  I just want to help them both and encourage them and feel sometimes I don't have it in me,  I'm tired and just need help myself.

We are both glad we made it one week past Surgery and look to the future.  We know that we are in God's hands and that he will do great things for us and through us.  We will take each minute at a time knowing God all ready has our journey planned.  So for now we keep climbing and fighting for Kent's Cure with a cross for the T in Kent.  We will keep following Jesus in this climb for a cure!  For now we say Thank You for journeying with us! ~ Leah
