The Wait

Kregg has been through 6 weeks of whole brain radiation, 6 weeks of lung radiation, numerous rounds of chemotherapy and now is scheduled for gamma knife surgery on August 31st. We have met many excellent doctors, nurses, specialists and healthcare providers since Kregg was diagnosed July 10, 2009.  He has received treatment from - Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Northside Hospital Forsyth, St Joseph Hospital, North Georgia Radiation Center, and Spectrum Neurosurgical Specialists.  Because he can not drive, he has relied on his family and friends to take him to all of his appointments. Because he does not have an income, he has relied on our country's medicaid program for the cost of all treatment.
I am thankful for all the care, concern, and assistance that Kregg has received. He certainly is blessed. I remind him of this everytime we have to wait and we wait a lot. There is the wait for his name to be called, the wait for the nurse, the wait for the doctor, the wait for the phone call, the wait for the results, the wait is just part of the process. I have learned to wait...and I am thankful for learning that waiting is a blessing.
