Wow what a week we have had. It seems like we have been running full tilt! Jake was home all week and weekend and I didn't know what to do with all the help. He is soo helpful with the kids when he is home. He got Wyatt up and ready for school and then got the girls up while I would run Wyatt to school. We work like a well oiled machine. He got to do a little deer hunting while he was home and I was able to go with him one day. We also got family pics Wednesday. I will post some as soon as I figure out how ;)
Friday afternoon we got a phone call that changed our plans for the weekend. A guy called him named Kevin and said he had heard a lot of good things about Jake and his work ethic and told him about a job that was going to starting Wednesday about 30 miles from our house and told him he would love to have him on his crew. I started crying the min Jake got off the phone and told me he would be working close to home till the end of the year. It was truly and answer to my prayers. My RA gets really bad in the winter and makes feeding the animals hard for me, but I have managed. But now Jake will be here to help me. This is the first time he has been home full time in over 2 years.
Saturday night we made a mad dash to Kaycee, Wyoming to get Jake's truck and our fifth wheel camp trailer. It was a long 24 hours but it was so worth it to have him coming home. He got up this morning and went to Salt Lake to quit is old job and sign all the papers for his new one. I am so happy I don't know what to do. This will also be the first Halloween he has been home in 3 years.
I am not really looking forward to this week but it will be easier with Jake being home. I go in Friday for my third infusion of meds. I am not looking forward to it but I know it is working cause I don't start hurting till right before my next one. But all the meds I am taking are starting to do their number on my liver and kidneys. They are watching some enlarged lymph nodes in my neck too. I am staying positive but how long can one keep fighting one's own body. I know there are people out there that are soo much worse off than I am and I don't want to sound like I am complaining but I am for a min. I am just so tired of the chemo meds and the iv infusions and all the pills. Okay so I am done complaining :) Jake is home to help now YAY!!!!!
So here is to our new adventure as a family that lives in the same house full time!!!!!!!
It's awesome that your husband will be able to be so close to home. What a great feeling, huh? I am sorry you are & have been so sick. I didn't realize it until I read your blog--definitely have lost track. I have an immune deficiency and have IVIG every three weeks. I was diagnosed with it when I was 13 and have had infusions ever since. (Minus a 2 year break after I had our second baby). I have nothing to complain about though after hearing everything you have been through. I hope you get feeling better and that winter will be good to you. So glad you started a blog...now you need to post pictures of your kiddos. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing blessing for your cute little family. I have NO doubt this job is an answer to your many prayers.
