Well I guess it's time I share with everyone what has been going on.

After countless months unwell and doctors appointments, scans and tests and treatments we are still not that much closer to having it all sorted.

I do have two surgeons who believe they have a rough idea of what's going on but we are not 100% sure yet.

Which has lead us to where we are now.

With the advice from my surgeon we have had to make the hard decision of rob returning to Uganda without me.

Drs believe I need surgery and due to the extent of it, it needs to be discussed with a team of specialists come early February. Then we will plan for Surgery. Timeline is up to 6mlnths though they said they'd try and rush it through.
They said it wouldn't be advices to have surgery elsewhere or to wait for it so we really have no other option than to be apart for now.

We have struggled with this and prayed for a few other doors to open but none have. So we are trusting God who sees the big picture when we only see the here and now.

Rob has to leave on Sunday.

He is due to start his internship up again come beginning of feb.
he cannot take anymore time off or he would have to begin all over again next year.

He also has to return for his graduation ceremony from medicine.

This for me is so hard as I have been waiting for this day and making a big deal out of it.
Rob never planned to go because he knew he wouldn't really have any one there to celebrate - immediate family wise.
But now he does - and I can't be there.

Absolutely devastated about that.
A lady who has helped to sponsor rob through last few years of university from America is also coming now.  To meet me and come to graduation. Saddens me that I won't get the opportunity to meet her this time.

I can't imagine being part from rob for 24hrs let alone 6 months.
Especially when we are suppose to be having our Ugandan wedding in June. And my parents are coming over too around then.

So we believe that I will be back in plenty of time for that.

Looks like we may be planning our second wedding apart as well!!!! :)

I am thankful for my family and our friends and all the drs here.
We really are blessed to have the facilities we take for granted.

I have no idea how we will cope Sunday night 7.30pm as rob gets on the plan. Or how I will function without him here.

I feel so helpless that rob will now have to care or himself with the incredibly long hrs he works. Especially as he moves into the busier areas at the hospital with internship.

We are trustin God though. He knows all things. ...... And we will test in that and remain strong in this time apart.

Thankful for technology but if one more person says oh he is only a phone call away - they my get hit!

The hard things is rob works longggggg hrs and doesn't have phone in those times.
Reception is never good let alone the time difference. So it won't be easy. Writing letters may become our main way of communicating. Plus the expense of phone calls is crazy!

My prayer is that Go would be with us each while we are apart and give rob all the energy he needs to keep everything running on his own including th farms.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and uppity.
Ill be staying with my parents while I am here and will keep writing the blog when I have stories to share of robs experiences.

When we don't understand things I am thankful that God does.
And so thankful for my amazing husband who I know this is even harder for.

As a doctor all he wants is to make me better and be here to care for me during Surgery etc.
what a blessed wife I am to have this incredible man as my husband!
