We found out a few weeks ago that my date for surgery is February 17th. Praise God! I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on February 16th, but we are actually flying to Houston a couple of days early to spend time with my sister. Another praise is that we found out through a friend at the church about a ministry called traveling light ministry that was founded by a couple out of Enid to provide a comfortable place to stay for patients at MD with no costs! That's right it is actually free. The wife, Jaymie went to MD 4 years ago hoping to be diagnosed with whatever was attacking her body, well after 6 long months of hopping from hotel to hotel the doctors finally were able to diagnose her with stage 4 Lymphoma. She is currently cancer free, thank the Lord. Out of their experience they felt led to found this ministry and what a blessing it has been and will be to so many! You can see pics of the condo at travelinglightministry.com. Luckily, the days seem to be flying by as we await surgery. Besides being even more tired than usual not much has changed since I was diagnosed, but we are still looking forward to surgery so that we can move forward.
More importantly, we want to lift up our dear friends in prayer whose sweet baby went to Heaven today. I do not try to or care to understand this cancer, but our hearts are so heavy for this family and their loss. We can't fathom such a loss, but also know it is not for us to understand and that we probably never will. Instead, we praise God for the gift of his sweet life, that we know His comfort and peace will be sufficient and hope that we can be some sort of comfort for them.
Thank you for reading. Love the cartwrights
