follow up

Josh read my last post this afternoon and claims he 'lost it.'   Said that he doesn't like to see everything in one place.  "I can take one thing at a time."  Like he had never lined up our troubles, and certainly never added them up.  Surprising, the way he can compartmentalize.  To me everything is always all together, right in front of me.  I even include the weather in the mix of how the day is going.  Sometimes it seems like a beautifully orchestrated movie, and sometimes it just seems like a mess.

Communicated with the doctor today.  He is trying hard to get antiPd-1 one way or another, and if that doesn't work come up with a plan b.  My job now is to be patient with the process.  Okay.  I can do that.

Going ahead with the house.  Josh is excited about it.  I am trusting him on this one.  Not worried, honestly.  It's the other things we have going on that are going to give me an ulcer.  

Rainy Monday afternoon with a tumor in my armpit and a poodle on my lap.  I had been crying and Josh snapped a picture of the pathetic scene.  I felt immediately better when the boys got home.

    I probably would have bailed a couple times during stressful moments on the house we just bought, but trusted Ashkii's optimism. What would we do without these Linton boys?;) Hang in there, praying for you to know the best course of attack on this tumor! Hugs from MD!!!

    Men, and their ability to compartmentalize. I wish I had some of that ability. I'm glad you're going ahead with the house. I want to come and see it!

    Alisa! This is so stressful...I'm so, so sorry!! It will all work out, it really will because it is you, because it is Josh and mostly because it is Him. I think and pray for you every single day and so do many others. You are so strong and can do anything. Here's to some sunny spring days...Heaven knows you need them :). I look up to you so much. So blessed to know you and Josh.

    Thanks Dave. I always read. I just never comment. Everything just seems to come out wrong.

    You are amazing, Alisa! Stay strong, I know about the stress, but I promise it will ease up if you can let others help and take your burdens! ;)

    I also have faith that the Lord has a beautiful plan for you and your family and you will figure it out! Things will start to fall into place, I promise!

    Keep your chin up. Lots of prayers and love!

    Hi, cousin Alisa! I wish we Scott Johnsons lived closer. We feel pretty helpless out here in Georgia. I love reading your blog and keeping up with the latest news. We are praying for you and have only the best wishes and hopes for you.

    Lots of hugs and kisses from far away!
