More shoes?!?!

My grandpa Kirk has been kinda off all summer. He has athritis and has been VERY sore. In the last month he has been super tired, more sore then usual, not eating much, and losing weight. Grandma had been trying to get some info from the Doc's to get him a different arthritis treatment and the doc came to the conclusion something else was wrong and he needed to go to the hospital(Friday 21)He had an irregular heart beat that was fixed and has had VERY low blood pressure here and there, but something was still not right. He had a upper GI Friday nothing. Saturday he had a ct scan and they found several spots on his liver equaling about a softball, and one on his lungs this size of a baseball, hidden by his heart to an x-ray. Today he had a biopsy on his liver and he should be released tomorrow. We will know more in a few days.

We are finising getting ready for our move and should have a house when we get to Ohio Nov 11. It has been just a crazy month and I am tired and just ready to have normal low key life. for our family it seems like the shoes just keeping falling. Even I should have ran out of shoes by now. I have expierenced the love of God, comfort and sadness all at once with the all the stress from this month. This really has kept me humble and knowing that God is in control NOT me and I am need to rely on his strengeth not my own and that it is ok to not be super human!

Continuing limbo a little more.

Sorry I have not updated this in WAY to long! So over the summer we really enjoyed staying with my parents and all the time the kids and I got to spend with all of our families! It was AMAZING! KC graduated second in his class at Ft. Sam Houston and really enjoyed his on the job training at Nellis AFB (Las Vegas) The kids and I flew out to Vegas and were really excited to drive back to Wichita with daddy. Little did we know it would really be a TERRIBLE trip. We had issue after issue after issue. The best part was getting to Co springs and spending the night with the amazing Wade's. We have had several things happen since then and are just ready to be in a day to day routine in our own home.
We are currently in NE, finaling out to go to Wright-Patterson AFB Dayton Ohio and a report no later than date of 30Oct. We accepted the assignment several months ago and have been waiting for orders since, we NEVER got them. KC finally asked and found out we probably would not get them until we go back to NE. This means we could not make arrangements to move until AFTER KC got to NE. That also meant that KC would most likely have to go ahead of us because the movers are usually scheduled several weeks out. So I would have to stay here, and he would have to go on. KC however was able to amend his order to 30Nov and the movers come 7and 8th of Nov then we will go together, that is what KC really wanted. Now we are trying to make arrangements to do a door to door move which would mean that our stuff could be dropped off at a house (assuming we have one) as soon as we get there. We could be in a house by the end of that week, WITH OUR STUFF!!!
So now we are just waiting for 7 Nov to get our move going. Tomorrow the kids and I are heading back to Wichita to tie any loose ends and say “see ya later” to all the family...BOO. Like I said we are ready to have our own space and be together but I REALLY LOVE our family and will cherish this summer forever.
I would like to give a special thanks to the Mikat's and the Heida’s for opening your homes to us and really from the bottom of my heart thank you! You are both Military families and understand how important it is to finally have to have the chance to be with your family and without you both I would still be in Wichita without my hubby!
