Peace needed ....

We are home from Chicago and thankfully I held up emotionally at the consultation appointment on Friday. As for this doctor providing additional information, this happened and we now need to do some more "homework" and research in the St. Louis medical community. There are always medical options as for treatment choices, but we are definitely at a place where none of the choices today are "good" choices. This is the first time in three years and none of our options are ones that you'd jump at signing up for immediately.

Mentally and emotionally I am not at a place, where I can discuss specifics yet. Friday and Saturday were extremely tough days from a mental/emotional standpoint - it was a long ride home with lots of Kleenex. I did speak with the female Chicago orthopod late on Friday evening. As always, I needed to talk with her, but there were things shared in this conversation that I was not prepared to hear. We both tried to be hopeful, but deep down both of us were likely falling apart on the inside.

I realize this blog entry is pretty general few details. Pray for emotional peace, clear wisdom, that fear will not overtake the situation, a longing to trust God completely, sleep, and patience in decision making. I am struggling significantly and need to make it through the work week somehow. Not sure how long I will last, but I'm going to attempt to go to church .... thank you for the many prayers on Friday!
