Our God is so amazing and provides for not only our needs, but our desires! Justin and I really wanted to take the children to Hilton Head this weekend before my treatments begin. Hilton Head is “our beach” and where our family vacations. We searched and searched on the internet on Wednesday night to book a hotel, and everything was sold out. We started considering other beaches but I really wanted to go to Hilton Head specifically because our family has made so many wonderful memories there. We went to bed Wednesday night, deciding to hold off on booking anything just in case at my appointment on Thursday they told me that I needed to come in to get my port on Friday.
Thursday morning as I woke up, I received a text from a friend, who had connected with another precious lady who is connected with NEPC Focus bible study. She and her husband GRACIOUSLY offered us a place to stay in Hilton Head for the weekend at no cost…..we would have been so happy to pay any amount but it was her gift to us. What a BLESSING!!
So now, we’re packing up, and team Turner is HILTON HEAD BOUND in a few hours!!! We will be completely disconnecting, phones off – so we can press in and be fully present with the family.
“You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing.” Psalm 145:16
Treatment Update:
Next Monday I have an appointment with the surgeon (Dr. Lynn Tucker) to discuss surgery to insert the port. I will have an echocardiogram to get a baseline on my heart function. Next week after the port surgery and echo cardiogram, I will start my first round of chemo. All of these will take place this coming week- I’m not sure yet of the exact day of each of these but I will keep this blog updated (or have a friend post when I’m unable to). I truly appreciate your prayers!
Hilton Head, last year -Summer 2014. One of my most precious memories.
