Memphis Day 1

Its late so please excuse the brevity of this post, but it has been a long week and this day is no exception. Today we are reminded how blessed Tzadok is, but we can not forget how difficult proton radiation may be for little Tzadok. Tzadok went through three x-rays today and another CT scan all of which he endured without any sedation. This absolutely shocked the nursing staff at St. Jude. We were told that they have never seen a two-year old perform so well through these tests, which made our spirits soar for our little warrior, but we wish that he did not have to undergo so many tests with radiation looming in the distance. Please continue to pray for the Father's protection over Tzadok because he has only begun the two weeks worth of tests he must endure. We are filled with hope and the blessings from so many of you continues to amaze us. The goal we set to financially weather this storm has already been half met within three days, which tells us that the Father is moving among his people and that Tzadok is a truly loved young man. There have been so many small blessings today that I must recap a few of them. First, every appointment we had today was quick moving and we could never sit down for more than five minutes before we were moved to another appointment. This was astonishing because there were so many others that were waiting far longer than we were. Next, our lunch was paid for because there was a glitch in the computer system (glitches equal Yahweh reminding us that we are well cared for) even after the glitch was discovered the workers would not let me pay for the meal. Another small miracle was that we were given a small room at the grizzly house, but they upgraded us to a suite because there are so many small ones that need to eat at a family sized table for the next two weeks. Finally, dinner was provided by dear friends of ours that the Father sent to Memphis several months back. We will never be able to look back and say that we have not been guided on this journey; however, we are still uneasy about the proton therapy. I don't know if it is something you can ever truly be comfortable with, but we are still waiting for the Father's peace to wash over us concerning this matter as well. I will try to post every evening on Tzadok's progress and list the blessings we have received because we are a blessed people, and it is to the glory of our God that we speak of his provision and goodness during this time and beyond.
