Even so, God is good

 I planned to post an update on 8/31 - the 2 year anniversary of the accident (adventure #2). (Adventure #1 being the 2016-2017 trip around the USA.)

Well, early update: Kaden is doing awesome. His injuries are not holding him back. He is and we are thankful to God for His faithfulness seeing Kaden through this challenging time and we are so blessed that in His providence, though there will always be lasting effects, most people who meet Kaden today have no idea what he's been through because he walks and moves and uses all of his arms and legs like normal. Woohoo! and Praise the Lord!

Why did this update come early? Because I am going to hijack the family blog sharing our adventures for another medical drama unfolding before us - "adventure #3" (???) we didn't plan for...

I have cancer.

After a routine mammogram, I needed a follow-up ultrasound (which, for me, is also routine), but the day of the ultrasound, they asked if I could stay a bit for an immediate biopsy. The results were not good, but God is. So, on 7/28, I received the news - cancer. I have been to the doctor everyday since for scans and bloodwork and tests and meeting specialists and the result is that I will be starting chemotherapy this Monday, 8/11.

I've been meaning to get my hair trimmed. Guess I'll be taking off more than I ever planned for.

But - God is good. He is with me. "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him" - Nahum 1:7 

Trusting Him yesterday, today and always!
