Work, more waiting and delays

It's obvious to me that God has been at work preparing the way for us to be here at this exact time. So many things have been taken care of.

  • Bobby qualified for disability and started receiving checks immediately. His last job paid very well so his benefits will take care of his bills.
  • We found an apartment available month-month with an infra red sauna IN the apartment.
  • I qualified for FMLA so my job and my seniority is secure.
  • God has kept me healthy for the last 4 years so I have accumulated a couple weeks worth of sick leave that I am able to use.
  • Friends and family are praying for Bobby, and us, as well as taking care of a long list of things while we're gone, including God providing leadership in the Deaf Ministry and substitute interpreters.
  • I was approved to work part time at our company's office in Santa Rosa (how amazing is that).
So, I'll be working at the Santa Rosa center M - TH. My first day was Thursday, July 1st. It was nice to get back to work. The Santa Rosa crew couldn't have been nicer. They made me feel very comfortable.

Thursday night Bobby was over and let us know chemo has been delayed until Tuesday the 6th, or Wednesday the 7th. Personal reasons. We were surprised by the delay and admittedly not happy about it. He had called Dr. Eisenberg to make sure it was OK to delay just a few more days. Apparently Dr. Eisenberg agreed that it would be fine. So, if the doctor didn't feel it was any problem, then we needed to be OK with it as well.

My sister, Arlene, came on Sunday July 4th. We loaded up and drove to Sausalito for the fireworks. It was nice to see her.

As it turned out, the Chemo was delayed longer than expected. He had been told it was scheduled for Friday, July 9th. We met him at the Cancer Center anticipating a long day. They did take his temperature and blood pressure and weigh him. It seems his most recent labs weren't current enough (three weeks old) so he had to get lab work done. They rescheduled the first day of Chemo for Monday, July 12th. We pray it really begins on Monday.

And we wait.
