Thanks for checking in.  It’s been almost a month since I’ve done an update because there’s no substantial change relative Irene’s journey of faith. I’ve been using a term for quite some time to describe the pendulum of human emotion at this juncture … which is that she is “living in the tension of ambiguity.”

Tension is defined as:

1. the act of stretching or straining.
2. the state of being stretched or strained.

Ambiguity is defined as:

1. doubtfulness or uncertainty of meaning or intention: to speak with ambiguity; an ambiguity of manner.
2. an unclear, indefinite, or equivocal word, expression, meaning, etc.

Synonyms
1. vagueness, deceptiveness. 2. equivocation.

“Living in the tension of ambiguity” for more than 6 years affects all areas of one’s life.  We’re both grateful for prioritization of those issues that matter most….Faith, Family & Friends.

Irene’s right calf severely cramped during dialysis treatment today and she pulled the emergency cord for the first time in 6 years. She is grateful for a capable medical team surrounding the experience.  She’s nauseated, exhausted and endeavoring to recover as she looks forward to the refreshment of a new day “living in the tension of ambiguity”.

Thanks for caring,

Dave
