Blog Post Keith’s Brain Tumor Journey Part 4
God is a God of order... not chaos. He is a good God and He is Sovereign. From Monday April 10th at 1:35pm when Keith was admitted to the ER, and every moment since then, God has ordered Keith's care, the support we have and the perspective we have acquired. If you know me, you know that I am an advocate and if I see something unfair or something that can be better, I am on it. Sometimes I am even a hunter for things that can be improved. If you know me... you know, lol. From the second Keith was admitted to Honors Health, I quickly felt and knew that God was going to take care of us. Everything was seamless. Every nurse was on it; kind, attentive, skilled. Every doctor was knowledgeable, patient, informative and sympathetic. Every medication worked, every call button answered, every scary situation calmed within seconds. We saw the hand of God constantly and witnessed miracles often. The most amazing thing to me was to be on the receiving end of care, love and concern. When I needed support a family member or friend appeared. I wasn’t left alone for very many moments. Our family and friends sprang into action and were with us from 7:00am-10:00pm every day. They knew what we needed even more than we knew what we needed. That is the Lord working!! A handful of our family members had to pick me up off the floor a couple times. To be cared for in that way changed me. Our family has been changed by the love and generosity we have received. The support our boys have received from their church community, their school, their friends, and our community has changed them. They see true love and care and concern. My husband has been changed by the outpouring of love he has received. Let me share a few ways God has loved Him in supernatural ways. 1-being prayed over by many people 2-receiving a hope box from our boy’s church 3- a meal train being organized and loved ones bringing meals and fellowship. 4-We received a bundle of cards from 5th grade students who have words of encouragement and love for Keith. From the mouths of babes come truth and wisdom. 5-love gifts from loved ones being sent to Keith's care team I have been changed in many ways as well. My appreciation and gratitude for "our people" has skyrocketed. I want to be a better friend to those I do life with. I am most grateful that when I needed prayer warriors... I knew our community would hit their knees and pray. Thank you for that. Keith and I have said and continue to say that the prayers of God's people have carried us. We have been carried through this by prayer and God's provision. We know if you are reading this, you have been part of the prayer team and we are so incredibly grateful for your faithfulness and generosity. We have been changed for the better by this circumstance and by your love. Love changes people, love heals people. Today we meet with the surgeon to hopefully learn next steps. Please pray for us as we receive the pathology report(s) and discern next steps. Keith has a PT evaluation today. Please pray he has no deficits and this can be a one and done appointment. Please pray for our children as they try to continue their normal lives all while knowing their dad is battling and recovering.
