Tuesday cause Monday was too long

Wow Monday was truly a long day, getting kids to school, took Dawn Christmas shopping then back to Millville to clean house for a while, then back to Redding to Michalea's Basketball game, then back to Millville to take Dawn to the Dr back home at 6:30, whew. Yes I know I have so many friends who have offered to help but honestly I needed it, you see yesterday was the big appointment with the Doctor and both Dawn and I were prepared to hear the worst of news, so here is how it went: 4:00 pm we met with a financial counselor, wonderful lady who dropped a big bomb, it seems that just the basic drugs for Dawns Chemo will cost us around $8600 per visit or every two weeks, this of course is in addition to the physicians, the labs, and the Dr, oh and the other meds so at a minimum $20,000 per month. But here is the good news we have six months to pay it off, yahoo! Yes we do have insurance, Thank You Jesus and LCC and once we meet the $10,000 deductable we will b ecovered for the year, and yeah we still have six months, not complaining mind you laughing because God is in control. He is allowing us to go through this and He will see us through we just need Him to sell a small herd of those cattle on a thousand hills:) Back to my story; the next lady comes in, also a wonderful and polite person and she is telling us all about chemo, what Dawn can expect, how long it will take etc, which by the way is oneday lab, next day treatment, next day lab, throw in a doc visit and yeah lots of medical time, oh and yes I'll be calling:)
The next visit was to be with our Dr. she left the room to find him and returned shortly with a rather stunned look on her face, well it seems the Dr is at the Hospital apparently someone forgot to tell him that he had a couple coming to see him who have been given extremely hard to take news, couple who had been preparing in every way to have the medical community render thier opinion on just how bad this is, but hey no big deal right? Of course it's a big deal if you don't have "the peace that passes all understanding" you see Dawn and I have moved on, we have long since decided that God is in control in every way, we know that our God reigns! And oh by the way did I mention that yesterday was one of the best days Dawn has had both physicaly and emotionaly in Months, her energy level is up, her joy has returned, and you can see in her and hear in her voice a woman excited to be in the hands of her God, willing to stay and serve, willing to join Him if He desires, the woman of God that we all know her to be, thank you Jesus for your healing touch!
And oh I guess we will need to see the Doc someday:)
