I am new at this blogging thing and apparently people want updates.  I assumed if there wasn't much to report then why would someone want to read about it but you have proven me wrong...you do want to hear about our life!!  So here is the latest...
On Wednesday Rob has his MRI.  The hardest part was getting the IV in but once that was sorted out it went fine.  Rob said at first you have to tell yourself to breathe since it is so small but then he said it wasn't so bad.  They don't tell you anything about the test while you are there but we will find the results on Thursday.  We also found out yesterday that his CT scan as well as a chest x-ray will be done on Tuesday. 
During Rob's MRI it was my first time being at the hospital waiting for him alone.  It was very weird to see him walk into the MRI and I was just left there to wait.  I went to the little café and read my book and talked to a friend to try and pass the time.  I dread the next while and the waiting at the hospital (especially during the surgery).  You never imagine that your life will take a turn like this.  I find I look at everyone I see and wonder what is going on in their lives.  People often walk around and you would never know that they are dealing with something difficult.  It is teaching me to appreciate what we have in life.  This trial sure does suck but we are still thankful for so many people and things we have been blessed with.  
This morning we went to church to remember the sacrifice God made by sending His Son to earth to die on the cross and take away our sins.  Often Good Friday is emotional for me as I think of this sacrifice and today was no different.  Our pastor reminded us the day we were told Rob's diagnosis that the bible says" you will have many trials and sorrows" (John 16:33).  Not if  we have trials and sorrows but when we have trial and sorrows.  But the good news is that the verse ends with "Take heart I have overcome the world".  Jesus came to earth and suffered through many trials and sorrows and ultimately died for each one of us.  We may be going through a difficult time right now but we have hope in Jesus and know that He has not forgotten us.
Next Thursday is the day we will meet with a whole group of doctors and specialists to get the results of all the tests.  They will discuss Rob as a group and make recommendations for how to move forward.  We are thankful it is soon and anxiously await the results.  Thank you for continuing to pray for us and for Rob`s healing.
