Well, things have been a little quiet for the past few days and that’s because life has been SO CRAZY BUSY!
We had Chris and Brynn’s Wedding on Saturday. Angelica and Alexandra headed up to Camp Goodtimes (the cancer camp) for a week. And I am trying to get ready to go camping with three little boys underfoot and no big girls to help……while recovering from the chaos that comes with a wedding.
Oh and what an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL wedding it was! Hopefully I can snag a few photos and put them up to show you.
My house is a disaster. I had a Doctor’s appointment for myself and Judah today and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. GAH! I’m not entirely sure how I’ll get it all done, but I’m sure that it will eventually all come together. It will, right?
Judah and I went to the Dr’s today to talk about veins, moles and poop!
Sounds like a fun trip, no? Can you guess which issues belonged to whom?
Well, maybe you shouldn’t guess….wouldn’t want things to get too embarrassing up in here…
I have the moles and veins and Siah is dealing with poop issues. There, does that make it a bit clearer…
I go about once a year to get my moles checked out and to make sure that none have changed or that any new ones aren’t scarey and as of this point….everything is A-OKAY! None are sun-related and all look fantastic…well, as fantastic as moles can look…
The veins….well, I have a couple of veins on my calf and yup….apparently they are varicose veins and I can have something done about them because well, they are not cool looking. So, I’m probably gonna do something about them before next summer…but no rush.
And then there is Judah. Still having pooping issues. And from all the symptoms that I described (Diarrhea, bloody mucus, food not being digested, food processing through in a matter of 4 hours, etc.), it could very well be celiac disease. As the treatment is the same (no gluten) we are just gonna be extra vigilant for right now, but will get him tested in a year or so when it’s a bit easier to draw blood and to do the other testing.
Did you know that Celiac Disease is most common in people who are Irish, Scottish, English and Scandanavian? Guess what my heritage is…….yup, all four of them. Not to mention that on both my side of the family and on Jon’s side of the family there are people who have issues with wheat…..I guess we are blessed that only Judah seems to have massive issues with it. Although I know that wheat/gluten doesn’t sit well with me either…
Oh well, I’ve gotta run and clean this house and plan out this week and the next two weeks worth of meals…..GAH!!! Not fun!
So, how have you been?
Hi Patti
How am I doing? Been busy with dentist appts had 5 already and will probably have 10 more to go. Lots of work needs to be done on my teeth. My worker is trying to get funding for new hearing aids for me before getting a job. Looking for a job. Thinking about getting full time job and just get off welfare. Will be doing cat sitting job in September and October and maybe in December. All of that takes care of the dentist bills. This year is the year of watching God making provisions for me, a year of having to totally rely on Him to meet all my needs. IT is a year of learning to TRUST God and believe His promises for me. Not an easy year but you know when times are hard that is when you really get to see God in your life. Sometimes it feels like He is not there but He is there all along. I am really getting alot out of the sermons because the pastors all give me a copy of their sermon notes and i can read them while using FM system during the sermon. IT is a year of learning to be patience. I am so glad i moved to Victoria. Praying for you Pattie. love Debra
