I keep singing the hymn 'count your blessing' today. I was watching the news last night and the thought that came to mind was, count your blessings. Your trials can always be worse. The Lord doesn't give you anything you can't handle. When you focus on your blessings, you start to realize all you have and how blessed you really are.
Carlton is doing well. He had a biopsy yesterday. Which means, they went in his brain for a tissue sample. It takes 72 hours to get the results but the doctors are pretty sure it's the same type of cancer as testicular cancer. They seemed hopeful that they can cure him through radiation. It'll be a long road ahead for him but there is light at the end of the tunnel. He will be able to go home tomorrow and start radiation later. He's feeling good and even told me he doesn't feel sick anymore. I think it's because he's eating well, getting proper nutrition and it never hurts to have cute nurses your age waiting on you hand and foot. ;) Why would anyone want to go home?
We are so lucky he got in that car accident months ago. Otherwise, who knows what could have happened to him or how long it would have taken to catch the cancer.
There is the update. Thank you all for your support. The emails, the calls. All of it. Just asking has meant the world to us. We are blessed! We all are! Count your blessing. We have a lot more than we
realize.
