Missing in Action!!




Wow..I can't believe it has been February since I last posted. I guess time has just gotten away from me. I have however tried to keep up all the reading on my friends posts. I am sorry I haven't taken the time to post comments, but I have been keeping up.

School starts this next week here and all three kids will be in school this fall. Trevor will be going all day to 1st grade, Kaylee will be in kindergarten and she is thrilled at being able to go to big girl school. Isaiah will be going to Head Start this year. They have a wonderful program for kids with learning disabilities and delays, such as he has. He will get his OT, PT Speech and Special education while he is at school. Which is great for him and me. No more twice weekly appts. at our home. The kids are doing great and we have had a very busy summer. I cannot believe how fast the summer went in fact. We did swim lessons, they all three amazed me at how much they learned and Isaiah even went under water and swam, when I couldn't ever get him to go above his knee's, let alone put his face in water before lessons!

We had a couple of more trips to Kansas City lately to Children's Mercy for Isaiah regarding his injuries and delays. He is doing quite well, but we have to go back in October for them to do a more thorough exam, as they feel he has Cerebral Palsy! If he does, it is a rather mild case, but it is still something I wish we hadn't heard! But considering all he has been through in his short little life, this too we can get through! It is amazing how resilient these little guys are!

I have been recovering from surgery the last three weeks, I had a bad bout with gall stones and gall bladder problems, so three weeks ago they took my gall bladder out. It was Laparascopic surgery but there was so much infection and puss in my gall bladder that it was quite the ordeal. Took twice as long in surgery as normal. It also took a little longer to feel better, I had terrible pain afterward and for the first 2 weeks post op. I am feeling much better now and am finally getting all my energy back! Thank goodness!

I took the plunge and am starting College on Monday, pray for me! I am going to need it!! lol. I will be taking 15 credit hours, which is a full time student. Thank goodness I can do it all online which gives me more time and options to get the work done! I am excited and scared all at the same time! I have been out of school for 20 yrs. We just had our 20 yr HS reunion last weekend in fact! I am feeling rather old!! lol.

My father in law is doing incredibly well and has gotten over his ailment from last fall and winter. I have no doubt that prayers are all that got him this far. He beat the odds! They only gave him a 25% chance of living and were very Leary of even that high of a chance! I am amazed how far he has come. He is even back to farming part time! We are truly blessed to have more time with him! I have learned to never take anything for granted, as you never know how long you have with someone!

Sorry I have rambled on and on, but there's our life updated!! :) Hope I can find some time to post more often, but with the load I am going to be carrying, I find it might be impossible! You never know though! Well I need to get off of here and enjoy my beautiful kids! Have a good weekend all!
