Jacksonville Day 1 of Many

Our arrival to Jacksonville was so badly needed because we have been living on the road for several weeks now, and we were looking forward to creating some stability for a few months but that appears to not be the case. The extended stay hotel we are staying at is little more than a room and a bathroom, it isn't what we were expecting at all. The Ronald McDonald House is booked full so they will be moving Rachel and Tzadok around local hotels for the foreseeable future, which is just ridiculous. It is challenging to remain positive when the living arrangements are awful. I don't have the time or energy to spend on the countless stressers that stem from this issue, but please pray that we are able to find suitable housing quickly. We will not be staying at this supposed extended stay beyond this week. So, we are looking at vacation houses, some are affordable and some aren't but quite frankly our family won't be split up. At the very least, we will move to a larger hotel where we can all be together. The trip to the beach, however, was just what the doctor ordered. It was a contrast to the storm brewing in the background, and it was a memorable time for the boys. We are nervous about the appointments next week, what with, new doctors, new nurses, new rules, and a new massive city to try and function in. It is a time like no other and we feel very assaulted right now on almost all fronts. It has only been because of everyone's prayers and support that we are even able to persevere right now. For an update, a very special thank you to everyone who continues to aid us financially through Go Fund Me and beyond. We have exceeded our goal, which leaves Rachel and I breathless and immensely blessed. You will never know how you are affecting our lives for the better.
