The kids are definitely liking the staying up later and for the most part they are sleeping in, which is worth the trade off for "my" alone night time. We are done with ball season. Katie's team did pretty good, but the girls had more interest socializing than being into the ball game. Cody's team finished 7-3, what a great record. The boys really got into it as the season progressed and it showed! Cody seemed to enjoy this season.
Saturday we went to Michigan's Adventure, thanks Robin for thinking about our family. We had beautiful weather and great fun! The lines were not long at all and the water felt good on such a warm day. I felt bad that we lost my brother at the water park but was relieved to know that his wife had an eye on him. We should have had an adult buddy system! I hope they also enjoyed the park and we did have fun seeing them there. This Thursday Cody and Tom are heading down to WMU for a football camp. Tom is excited that one of his boys is still into football and missed it. I think this camp will be good for Cody and will keep him focused for this fall.
Tom has also been very busy talking with our insurance company. He is trying to understand the process of the people approving tests & scans. He was "misinformed" about why the process was denied, which he was not happy about being told false information. He was able to get his Case Manger involved and hopefully everybody understands what is happening. Since Tom has been denied, the case will go in front of a board of doctors and will be reviewed, including the Oncologist notes about why the test has been ordered. We will have the results by Tuesday. Hopefully it will be approved at this time. Tom feels that 2 weeks have been wasted in the medical world. It is frustrating that we have been told many times how early detection and prevention is the best way to beat this disease and yet waiting on the approval has prevented the early detection that leads to prevention!
We are learning the lessons of patience in our household! It is a strange feeling to be outside of Toms medical circle. I have given it all to Tom to handle...another piece of control out of my hands, which is also teaching me that it is ok to give up things. I love the verse that says "You will keep on guiding me all my life with your wisdom and counsel; and afterwards receive me into the glories of heaven! And I desire no one on earth as much as you! My health fails, my spirits droop, yet God remains! He is the strength of my heart; he is mine forever!" Psalms 73:24-26
