Welcome back to the next Thriving Not Just Surviving blog
post. Buckle up for a big post!
As you know when I was diagnosed back in March 2017, KU Med
informed us that they did not have the resources to properly treat my specific
form of non small cell lung cancer. Therefore, we sought out Siteman Cancer
Center in St. Louis. Since then we have continued to add to our St. Louis Medical
Team with two Neurologists, two Orthopedic surgeons, a Physical Therapy Staff,
a Sleep Nurse Practitioner, a pulmonologist, and a few more specialists.
It should come as no surprise that we have come to the point
in time where we need to relocate to St Louis. My immediate family is all there
as well as the Medical Team described above. Starting tomorrow (due to the
recent seizures) I will be moving permanently to St. Louis. Maureen will
follow, moving to St. Louis in May, following her school year. I will continue
to work remotely in my current job and I am infinitely grateful for the support
and flexibility that my employer has shown since my initial cancer diagnosis.
It is with great hope that we make this move to establish
more normalcy in our lives and not experience a constant “fire drill” with each
seizure or health concern.
It is also with sadness that we leave Kansas City. It has been
our first home together as we started our married life and we have met so many
incredible people. We have also experienced such an outpouring of support,
prayers and love during the last 18 months. You will never know how much those
prayers and support have meant to us. God has blessed us in so many ways
through you, thank you for being that instrument.
We ask for continued prayers. Although we can’t say that I
will be back in Kansas City often, however, Maureen plans to continue visiting
Kansas City to continue servicing her Mary Kay customers. Please stay connected
through the blog and through Facebook. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, we
will respond as we are able.
