The Glass Ceiling

It seems like I have to apologize for the distance between posts each time I write, but days and weeks often blur together. To sum up the past month since leaving Jacksonville, we have been trying to settle into our new house in Tullahoma, which was not exactly what we were expecting to come home to. Cleaning and cleaning and well more cleaning. However, we are mostly settled and feel like this is going to be our new home even if it is temporary. In many ways, it feels like there is a glass ceiling above our family. We can see the bright future ahead but we can't seem to break through and we are surrounded by so much care and concern that it is absolutely nauseating at times. One new concern deals with Tzadok. He has been having more headaches than normal, so we heading to St. Jude this Sunday to run more tests to make sure the cyst is not growing. Immediate prayer and thoughts would be much appreciated. This trip was planned for the middle of Feb., but it has been moved up due to this new side effect. Obviously, this unexpected trip carries it's own amount of stress, and our kids are a little disappointed, but we take comfort that if there is no new growth then we may be getting a glimpse of the new norm of our lives, which in some ways is a blessing. Tzadok has also been having a difficult time sleeping at night, which has always been challenging but is becoming more frequent. This was yet another possible side effect of the radiation that is starting to surface. We are trying to remain positive, and we are very eager to know the MRI and CT results. We will pass on the results when we have them. In the meantime, please pray for Tzadok he needs all the prayer he can receive.
