Aaaand it's been a while.
I really need to be better about posting. I'd love to develop a bigger following,
although, I'm not really sure why. I
don't think I have amazing writing skills or awesome stories, but I do like to
be social and this is certainly a way that I socialize. Ahh, I think maybe only a stay at home mom
would consider blogging socializing!
Ha!
As some of you know, this has been the craziest month for my
sweet little family. Jason had knee
surgery April 30th, Ava had issues with her expander and had to have it removed
May 2nd. So we took an unexpected trip to Boston Children's. Jason
ended up having blood clots in his leg, they sent him home on blood thinners
and we went back to the ER a few days later and he was admitted to the hospital
with a pulmonary embolism. Scary stuff. Very scary.
He was in the hospital for 6 days, home and ended up going back in the
hospital on May 26th.
I've coped. Maybe not
so well. Like in most severe times in my
life...I stuff it. It leaks out much
faster than it used to though. I remember odd things. Unimportant things, but things that I can
control. Jason is on the mend, but once
again, we find ourselves in the middle of uncertain times.
We have orders. We
have amazing orders. I have been so
happy since we got our orders. And
ironically, we actually got our hard copy, in our hot little hand orders, while
Jason was in the hospital. Which leads
me to now, there is a very good possibility that they may revoke or suspend our
orders. And I am trying and failing not
to stress about it. Although today, I
came to the true realization that no matter whether I understand it or not, God
is at work in this situation. His
fingerprints are all over it. And yet,
even having that thought and calming way down, I am still hopeful that God
wants us to go to San Diego as regularly scheduled.
We meet with the powers that be next week. We're hopeful that we'll be given the green
light as Jason won't leave here until August, he has a school until
Thanksgiving and then checks in at his new command, which will bring him to the
6 month mark where he will no longer be on Blood thinners and will be
deployable again. So, just pray for
us. For peace, for patience (that's my
issue!), for wisdom and for confirmation.
Being in limbo is hard for me.
Ava is doing great.
The twinkles are amazing and Levi is almost 3. That should make you all shudder. Or laugh.
Depending on where you are in your walk with Motherhood. Anywho, I promise to try and get on my blog
more. Make it a happy, welcoming place. Love to you all!
