The only thing that doesn't change is that everything changes

This has been the week of changes.
  • Last Wed I found out that we were going to go to Disney early (from the 10th to the 18th).
  • Thursday we found out that we weren't going to go to Disney but would have surgery instead.
  • They were hoping to do surgery the 10th or 11th so we made plans accordingly
  • Monday we met as a family to talk to the Dr.'s about the diagnosis and treatment.
  • Tuesday we found out that surgery was gonna be a week later than we thought, on the 17th.
  • Wed. the 10th I found out that his tumor is growing too fast, they are gonna delay the surgery and do a round of chemo first.
  • Today I sit waiting for a call to tell me when we are starting the chemo
This is hard to keep up with. I am trying to keep everyone informed, plan for what's about to happen or rather what "I think" is about to happen, keep up daily tasks, finish rearranging and cleaning, making sure the kids have time to talk and be with us and also do stuff to where he can enjoy his day. I need help. I feel completely overwhelmed by all of this.
If anyone has time and would want to help let me know
  • play with the kids, Zaachi is home from school due to the situation
  • help organize
  • help make things as sterile as possible for him
  • help Marc finish up the flooring in Zaachi's new room
  • Make a meal
  • clean
  • baby sit Mag and Zaachi so that Marc and I have a moment together
We need help and realize we can't do this on our own. Our families both live far away. So if God lays something on your heart we are open to help.

Later

I didn't post this right away because I feel weird asking for help. I talked with Grandma Eve (Eve Yocum) and she convinced me that others want to be involved and need direction. So, I am posting this. Zaachi is in the hospital starting chemo, Marc is with him now and I will go over this evening to stay for the night. We rotate in and out so that one is at home and one is with him. If you would like to visit him he is at LVH Ceder Crest, go in the main entrance and go straight to the front elevators and to the 3rd floor. Turn right and keep taking rights till you see the doors with the Murial on them. Go to the door and ask for him and they will direct you to his room. If you are sick please do not go on the floor.

Thanks Friends,

Susie
