Its Mikey here....sorry its been a while, but suffice to say things have been going overwhelmingly well. I'm sitting here in the chemo room, saying hi to all the familiar faces both who work here and that are receiving treatment. In a wierd way there is a certain solace from being here with Nikki. But that peace we feel is much deeper than being thru the worst of the chemo, its not just because we had a great trip to California, it doesnt stem from our current circumstances at all.....The peace we feel is from knowing that God is an all powerful God and has taken us thru an incredible series of storms. We are eager to look for opportunities to share this peace with others, it would be a shame to keep this gift to ourselves.
What I Know God is Good Nikki's body continues to get stronger I am an expert at the art of "sharking"....slowly moving thru the parking lot, searching for people going to their car, and pouncing when they leave. By the way, the universal sign for "thats my parking spot" is getting your signal on first, I'm always first to the signal. The saddest sight in the world is a bunch of fallen mangoes on the side of the road, they never had a chance to be chilled and eaten.#rescuefallenmangoes What made today feel normal Here's what a normal chemo day looks like..... 0530 Mikey workout 0615 Allie already done with her second helping of breakfast and bored 0645 Daniel woken up "Hi mommy" #happymorningboy 0700 Pray as a family, put on our "Team Nikki shirts", and depart 0730 Follow the parade of cars on their way to Tripler Hospital 0740 Search for a good parking spot ....
