LIFE

OYE I have been a busy bee lately and have not had the time to just sit and keep up with our blog. With the kids being out of school, showers, birthdays, photography, housework, sick nurses, bible studies my time has been directed away from here. I want to thank all of you for sending e-mails and/or calls to check in on me :o).

Well, Abby has since turned 4! I am amazed at how beautiful she is and so thankful that the Lord has given us 4 wonderful years with her! Every day I can't seem to squeeze her enough nor kiss on her enough! Her seizures are still stable with 4-6 a day. I have to take her to the doctors in the next couple of weeks for hip x-rays. Only an x-ray will tell us if we will have to proceed with surgery being that one of her legs is a bit longer than the other... I am praying that this is not the case. She is doing wonderful as she is sitting longer un-assisted! Only for about 5-8 seconds, but hey this is a huge step for Abbs. We have been dealing with a stubborn sty that won't seem to go away! The last couple of days it has really been inflamed, but today seems to be getting a touch better. We had an un-expected trip to the doctors this afternoon because a rash starting at her left shoulder and before my very eyes traveled down towards her leg! Scary, but we were told it was due to a virus, hive thingy, they are not to sure and not too concerned. Said I should give her Benedryl, but this causes seizures in kidos that have seizures, so we can give her this. I am just applying a topical cream to help with itching, if she has it, I don't know cause she cant tell me...

I am doing well. God is really showing me somethings about myself and my dependance upon Him. I love where I am at right now, though it hurts as I become more aware of my sin... hurts, but its good. Will share in detail later, we have bible study here tonight, so I to make this short, but here are some photos of Schmadoozies 4th birthday party!

    "Happy Birthday Sweetie"

    I love the cookies! did you make them??

    I have been asking God to empty me and fill me with Him, and He is, and it hurts, and like you I am so aware of my sinful nature, you think you're going along ok, and then He shows you otherwise! But I am so Thankful that He loves me enough to Chastise me and Fill me and remove the blinds on my Spiritual Eyes! Hugs Shi~

  6. Happy Birthday, Sweet Precious Abby! She is so beautiful. I love all the pictures but esp the one with you and her! Can I fly you down for Annabel's birthday Tuesday??? I am so bad about parties. We do a small family party and that is about all! Who would have thought our Angel's would be here four years ago! Thank you, Jesus for the gift of our baby girls to our families.

  12. Happy Birthday, Sweet One!

    Hi Tam, I thought of you when I read this verse. I hope it encourages you when you need it most. :-)

    But I’ll take the hand of those who don’t know the way, who can’t see where they’re going. I’ll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I’ll be there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don’t fall into the ditch. These are the things I’ll be doing for them – sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute. Isaiah 42:16 MSG
