Sorry for the lack of posting...........

I do apologize for the lack of posting this week.  I went back to work on Monday and things have been pretty busy!  It has been an adjustment going back to work.  Meeting my students, adjusting back to long days away from David, and trying to keep my energy up has been a struggle (I am not going to lie), but in a weird way refreshing.  It has been a reminder that life will begin again for us and we will now have a new normal. 

We are still staying at his mom's house.  David is really comfortable here and they don't have any steps that he has to deal with.  But we do look forward to the day we go home for real....in a few weeks. 

We did receive some discouraging news.  We knew that David's anti-rejection medication would be expensive however we were both in a little shock when we found out exactly how much it will cost us.  Just our CO-PAY alone (as in just our portion of the cost of medication) is actually MORE than our house payment......PER MONTH.  I couldn't believe it!  It was very defeating.  I did ask the pharmacy if we could set up payments and they told me that we could for the first month but each month after that we have to pay in full.  I have no clue where the money will come from in the earthly sense but I know God will provide.  David NEEDS this medication so he will receive it!  I have been reminded God did not bring us this far just to leave us...He is a God of eternity!

We know God is in control,  We know David needs this medication, and we know we are on one income right now.  The numbers don't work out but God will provide.  We have been so blessed by being able to cover most of our bills so far even with David being out of work through the gracious gifts of friends, family, and even strangers through cards and our GofundMe page. (http://www.gofundme.com/DashforDavidB)   I am literally in tears realizing how much we have been blessed.  We are so thankful for all of the gifts, prayers, and visitors. 

We know God will continue to provide. 

We also have received several meals from friends and family.  If you are interested in doing that a dear friend set up a Mealtrain website so people can sign up
(https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/zq0m2o).    That is a pretty cool site...super helpful in situations like this.  The meals have taken a lot of stress off of me and David's mom.  We can focus on spending time with David and not being in the kitchen all day.


We have had a few visitors since we have been home.  David's grandmother came and visited, David has had some friends visit(I was at work...boo!).  I got to spend some time with Karen on Saturday!  She is a rockstar and doing so well.  She even went back to work for a few hours! 

David ventured out a little this week to go to a few stores with his mom.  We are in need of a new comforter for our bed when we get home, so they looked at some (didn't find anything he liked).  But we have some time.  

I feel like there is so much more to write about but to be honest I am exhausted, my brain is tired from work, and I quite a bit of grading to do. 

I am so sorry I slacked off from blogging but I will try to post again this weekend!

Love,
Alice and David
