Mom was discharged from the hospital today and we got the pathology report back early this morning. Mike has upcoming procedures and appointments. Read on for a quick update on both.

Mike was discharged from the hospital on Sunday afternoon. Then, my mom was admitted on Monday and is having surgery today to remove a tumor from her small intestines. The saga continues below.

It’s paradoxically encouraging to know that when we cry out to God with discouragement and—let’s just be honest—accusations against him, he doesn’t turn a deaf ear to our pain. Instead, he meets us in the middle of it with compassion, grace, and mercy—despite our unbelief, bewilderment, and anger.

Before I tell you about the appointment, though, I have to recap the week so you can see how God was working in the background to prepare our hearts.
