Thankful Blessing!!

Pretty soon it will be thanksgiving. Are you ready to eat too much turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, desserts, and then fall asleep on the couch. Amongst all that, remeber to give thanks to all your many blessings. God is so good.

What a Slacker!

I have just forgotten my blog. I get so caught up in everyone else's blog that I forget about my own. So, I thought I would do a quick update.
Today is my 16th anniversary. I believe that is a pretty good accomplishment considering families that have children with special needs have an 82% chance of divorce. I am so proud to be married to my wonderful husband. We have overcome many uphill climbs in our marriage. I am very proud of our relationship with each other and our faith we share together as followers of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Michael and Daniel are doing great. We just finished a season of soccer and will start basketball next. Michael's soccer team got 3rd place out of 9 teams this weekend in a tournament. Daniel had his 1 year anniversary of his vesecostomy and is doing well medically. No flu at our household thus far, thank you Lord! We hope to keep it that way.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Remember to give thanks to our soldiers and keep them in your prayers.

We are home!

Well, surgery went well yesterday. It ONLY took 2 hours to put all the IV's in that they needed. Poor Daniel looks like a pin cushion. BUT, his surgery went without a hitch. Dr. J removed bone from the base of Daniel's skull and removed some scar tissue that was pulling on the dura (lining around the brain)and causing some pressure. We were able to come home by 2:30 this afternoon. Daniel has been asleep every since we came home. He didn't sleep really well yesterday or last night. Hopefully this will keep him pressure free until next year. Will update more later. Thank you for your prayers.

Long time no Blog!

Hello to anyone that may still read this. Happy Easter, Spring, and 4th of July. Seems like I have missed them all. We are enjoying our summer so far. Michael has gone to 2 camps already, Soccer(Ralph Lundy) and Doe River Gorge. Michael has gone to soccer camp for 4 years now and Doe River for 5. He really enjoys them both. He just got picked up at Doe River by his grandparents in TN today. They only live 11 miles from the camp. Michael will stay another week with them in TN. We always miss him when he is not here, it's pretty quiet.

Daniel will be having another surgery on Monday the 13th. His skull is closing a little bit around his brain stem and causing some problems. He is not as bad as he has been in the past, but we decided not to make him anymore uncomfortable than he already is. Overall he has done really well since his bladder surgery, much more comfortable. We have finally gotten his infections under control by doing bladder irrigation with an antibiotic wash.

Will update again sooner than the last time.

It's been a long time.

I can't believe what a slacker I have been. I have been checking out other blogs but not my own. My oldest, Michael, is in China this week on a mission trip with school and church. I am so proud of him wanting to take this opportunity to reach others about the gospel. We have been very busy with soccer, bladder complications and more bladder stones with Daniel. Jeff is thankfully staying busy at Publix, more people are buying groceries rather than going out to eat. We are getting ready to plan many activities through my work, Family Connection. It has been one year sinced we moved into our new home. So that means one since my parents have moved to SC also. Boy how time flies.
