Today was a better day for Leslie. Actually, it was better for all of us. Leslie went to work, then to her radiation appointment and afterward to see the oncologist. There she found out that she has a fissure, which has been the cause of the pain. She's still experiencing a great deal of pain, but it is encouraging to at least know what is causing it. On Thursday, she is set to see the surgeon, Dr. Pris Strom, to talk about options to deal with the fissure.
Kristen helped us out today by not only caring for Munchkin, but also picked up the older two after school and watched them all until Leslie could get home.
This evening, our pastor came over for what I thought was a "working evening" to go over stuff for the church. But instead, he just said, "We're going to talk." He mostly listened from 9:30 until 11:00 as I got to vent, unload, etc... It was a real encouragement to me, and he also reassured us of their love for us. We're also excited to be a part of the launch team, with no expectations, for the church. This is something our hearts are in, but we are limited due to what's going on in our lives. How thankful I am for such a wonderful pastor and church!
We're so glad to hear things are better, and that the doctors have found a reason for the pain. Praying that there will be a simple way to heal the fissure...I know those are painful!
