My 51-year-old husband had me take him to the emergency room early one morning to obtain something for his pain. Instead, the doctor came back from taking a CT scan and said, “There’s something on your liver that shouldn’t be there.” This began our quest to find out what this thing was and to excise it. That same week i was talking to my daughter-in-law on the phone and two phrases popped unbidden into my mind with a sort of flicker that felt like a déjà vu: “Scott will make a choice; once chosen, it will be irrevocable.” Those words from God’s Spirit, in addition to what Scott asked of me, helped to define our different roles in this venture—mine was to research choices of treatment and his was to choose and, hopefully in the choosing, to get better!
