Day 27

Hi Everyone,

        It's Wednesday and we are half way through the week. Charlie had his bone marrow biopsy done today. The procedure went well as planned and should have the results in about two days. Things are starting to fall into place and a plan is in the making. Charlie found out today that he will be returning to the hospital on Monday, July 11th. His hospital stay will be the same as the last. He will be going through another round of chemo and is expected to stay another three weeks. Charlie isn't too thrilled about returning to the hospital, but it ready to start getting better. I am looking forward to spending the weekend with him. I am feeling much better and will soon be able to see Charlie. I got to see him on Monday but didn't last too long as he had to go to the hospital. I am so happy that he is ok and did not have to stay. Charlie is still so positive and is loving the hats that he has received. He is going to be styling at the hospital. I hope these next couple of days go by really slow so I can soak up as much hospital free time with Charlie.
      I have to admit that this past month has been rough for me. I feel like one thing after the other keeps happening. When it rains, it pours. I feel like God is testing my faith in Him. Yesterday on my way to work I fell face first on the concrete and got hurt pretty bad. I had a bloody nose and scratches all on the front of my body. There was no one around to help me when it happened, and I just laid there in tears asking why. WHY? WHY? WHY? Why is all of this happening to me? I could lay there for hours and ask, but I would never get an answer. As soon as I was at my worst and lacking faith, I received great news today. God started to pour on the blessings. During these times we can get so discouraged and look at the bad things and ask why...but today I realized that God really does have a perfect plan for us, and even if we don't understand it at the moment, he knows best and will show us what he has in store. It's so easy to look at the bad in situations, but I feel that it's time for me to look at the good. Charlie is going to get through this. Thank you all who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers. We are so blessed to have you all. I want to thank Lauren (Charlie's cousin) for creating a donation site. The hats are awesome that you designed and we really appreciate your time and effort. If you all havent heard already, there is a donation site for Charlie. At this site if you donate 25 dollars or more, you get a hat.
