you're probably living my life right now.

Seriously.

See, my family and made the mistake last week of letting down our gaurd and letting go a little. We all were so sure that Mom, was "done", that she just had to go back last week for more labs, followed by regular appointments/scans.

We were wrong. My embattled body wasn't fighting off the effects of the chemo, and Wednesday I had a harried run back to Moffit in terrible traffic, followed by and ambulance transfer to another affilliated hosptial (Moffitt was full, evidently, EVERYONE decided to have issued the week after Easter).

It's been six days. Six. That's longer than a chemo round. Without the prep time for me or the family. Talk about control issues. I can wait in the hosptial for my body to behave or go home and chance dying within eight hours.

Thankfully, once again the family has circled the wagons, both practically and in prayer. And people are praying everywhere.

But it's a reminder not to let down our gaurd, to persist in righteousness, and to keep our eyes on the prize in all things, not just what has become "Sarcoma Watch 06/07!"

God willing (no fevers), I get to go home tomorrow. It will be sweet, but we all will be wiser and warier.

Press on towards the goal today...and have a blessed Monday.
