Well.....another update. I'm the worst blogger . The weird thing is there's so much inside of me that I want to write about but life gets in my way. I can assure you the blog posts I write in my head are the BEST I ever write- probably because they concern things I can't really post about! I always threaten to write a book to be published after my death. That would be worth the money to buy I promise!
Since the last post we survived Sarah's 2nd hospitalization, a hurricane Shad's girlfriend leaving for college and a move (our oldest son and wife). Whew!
First to Sarah..... she got very ill quickly. Going with my gut I called her doctor and asked for a script for her to have an x-ray here in town. As soon as she got back we got a call for her to go to St Joes Children's hospital. Basically her small intestines were not moving, there was a problem where the stomach empties into the small intestines. She was in for 5 days on IVs just to give her intestines a chance to "rest" The week of Sept 25 she will be at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital to go through testing on the mobility of her intestines. My poor baby! There is a big problem because despite her malrotation surgery she has been in the hospital 3x in the past year for extended times despite us following every bit of medical advice. She takes 2 caps of Mirelax each morning - that dosage would keep most adults in the bathroom for hours. And while it does give her very loose stools (believe me I have some poop stories) there are times her small intestines just do not move things along. Her large intestines are relatively good. She may face more surgeries. Please pray for our girl!
We survived Idalia with no problems-had all the family home You know that makes me happy! My hometown of Perry Florida got hit so hard along with our beaches Keaten Steinhatchee and Horseshoe Beach. My granny had a little house down at Horseshoe Beach and if I ever get skin cancer (God forbid) it'll be because of that place! Great memories in all of those places! Thankfully no one died and the communities are pulling together and helping each other. Growing up we were always told that a hurricane would not hit our area in the "Big Bend" of Florida because the water was so shallow that it didn't "draw in" hurricanes. Evidently that bit of knowledge was not true!
Shad's sweet girlfriend left for college- we all miss her around here! He got a chance to go see her this week so he's happy! Steve and Nichole moved to our town to our old house. We adore having them near us. Selah is doing great! Last week we managed to see her 3x-that's always my weekly goal or even more if I can. We are so thankful for the unique group home she is in. Sam is doing good.....
The older I get the more I understand how incredibly important my family is! I love having adult children-when the boys were young I literally mourned ahead of time about them leaving home. LOL But it is such fun to have adult sons who bring you home daughter(s) in love. (I'm hoping to have another one before too long) Almost every stage of motherhood has been wonderful except a little bit of the teenage years I could have done without LOL I'm blessed!
Selah in one of her birthday outfits. I totally redid her closet for her 19th birthday. We are into T-shirt dresses around here
Hope you are having a great month!
