Busy, busy, busy

I thought I'd better post, it's been a little while. Not a whole lot is new. Dr. Mageed was happy that Brooke's lymphocytes are coming up. He said maybe her transplant is starting to take. Her next numbers are drawn in March. Her B cells look like they are not en grafting right now, so we may have to do IVIG weekly again. This will hopefully also help with her cold. She had a viral panel done on her snotty nose and it showed no virus'. She's on antibiotics and that will hopefully help her symptoms.
Steve left for hunting Tuesday. We were on pins and needles hoping all would be ok so he could leave, and so far so good. I must say Tuesday night was a little crazy. The kids were in rare form. Leah's tooth cracked in half, Macy put make up all over the floor and Brooke dry heaved all night. By 9pm I was frustrated and praying Steve didn't call or I'd cry. By the time Steve called I was under control. I was also worried how I was going to get everything done that was on the agenda for Wednesday and Brooke was still dry heaving. When I left the house I prayed, "the day is yours God!" He gave me extra time!! It was the best day!! I made all my stops, called the dentist (we'll wait with Leah's tooth til it bugs her), watch Meg's swim, made it home to start Brooke's feeding, then back to Ashley's class to help and saw patients in between. Thank goodness for a flexible work schedule, cell phones and a wonderful babysitter.
I am always amazed by the human mind. We have the ability to be frustrated, anxious, crabby and by a few thoughts we can turn it all around. I let my mind go crazy by thinking of all the what ifs..... and when you turn it around and say, it'll all work out, it's not in my control, just roll with it, life is wonderful. God is constantly blessing. We need to give up control and let Him run your life. It's so much smoother and fulfilling. I am excited Steve is getting to relax and finally have his time. He is an amazing man and my best friend. I am praying that he is having fun and not ONCE thinking about tube feedings, IV's or dry heaving :)
