Well we are here in Texas....we arrived at the home of the most amazing people whom have offered us a place to stay until Eric gets hospitalized later this week. It is good to know there are people in the world that even though they don't know you care about you and what you are going through and want to help with whatever they can. The Clark's have provided us that.. a home enviroment where we at least for a few days until the hospital feel at home.
We had to not only send our two kids off to school yesterday for the first day of school but we also had to do the hardest thing ...say goodbye for 4 months to the kids. It was so hard they were both crying so much and we feel so bad that they have to go through this. It hard for us but I know it must be so much harder on them to not have Mom and Dad around and be able to just be a normal kid. I worry so much about Chelsea she was crying so much....she holds things in a lot but she really had a hard time she just couldn't stop crying....I feel so bad your sophmore school year and high school should be exciting and fun...not sad.
Austin oh how much he loves and idols his hero Dad! He kept crying and hugging us over and over again. He didn't want to let go... I tried to tell him everything is going to be okay, that somehow we will get to the end of this but the truth is I know its hard and that the road we have is unknown and scary...exspecially for the kids. Austin tries to be so strong for us and has taken on so much responsiblity, more than most 13 year olds. I cried and cried for hours at the airport, Eric felt so bad he even said "We can go home?" Typical Eric always thinking about us, of course we can't come home... we have to leave and do this bone marrow transplant.
I miss the kids so much, Eric misses them. We wish we could have done this at home so it would have been easier on them but we needed the best place for a chance to save Eric. We have a extremely busy week we had to be here at the hospital MD Anderson at 7:30am so we left at 6:30am to get here on time and we have tests, bone marrow biopsies, check ups, blood work and meeting with social worlers and doctors. We won't be done here today until 5pm, then tomorrow we have to be back at 6:30am for another full day, everyday is like this until Eric is hospitalized at the end of the week. We are grateful again to the Lord for all of our blessings and know that he is with us guiding us and giving us strength.
Please Lord bless our two children that they will be okay, they are such good kids. Please protect and watch over them while we are gone....
