Our Family
Well, I usually send out a huge mass email to all our family and friends, but I thought that this would be easier and prayerfully will get me to write my blog more!
God is good! Life is hard, but God is good! God is always good!! I figured I will just go on down the line to give you an update of life at our house! I will start with the children's health, homeschool, myself and anything else that might need to be thrown on!
Josiah is doing good. I believe he needs glasses though. He has an eye appointment on Saturday morning. He gets headaches a lot now. He often gets frustrated during school. I wonder if it has to do with his eyes. I asked him to read something in my laptop one day and he said he couldn't, it was too blurry for him. Other than that is he doing really well. He is such a smart guy! He is also still a very large kid.! LOL He is 7 years old and 85 lbs. He wears a 5 1/2 shoe! I LOVE having a big guy like him. He can help in soooo many ways. He loves it too!
Julia...well where do I start. She is having an issue with her kidneys that will most likely end in surgery for her to correct it. In three weeks she will be going into the hospital for a special test. That will let them know what is going on and if it is the issue they think it is. Prayer for her would be great!!! Other than that issue she is also doing great. She is such a smart girl and oh so very sweet. She loves math!! She really enjoys math quizes to do in her head. She doesn't do well on paper but orally she is amazing!! She is also a really great reader and catches on to things a bit faster than the Siah. Julia also enjoys throwing a ball and baseball. I think that is really odd, but hey it is her! LOL
Joanna seems to be great health wise. Prayerfull the LORD will allow it to stay that way! Joanna is our smart little cookie! She is her Daddy's daughter all the way! She LOVES to read. She spends all her free time either reading, colroing, writting, or drawing. She LOVES being challenges. Now she does great on paper work, but not as good orally. She likes to see it to work it out. Neat how they are different.
Uriah is still Uriah. The doctor thought maybe he was having abdominal migraines, feel free to look it up. LOL So they put him on medicine and it just didn't work. So Jason and I feel that I need to do some research. We feel that this is all food related in some way or another. It all seems to be around when he eats. He has no allergies but the GI doc said she knows he has sensitivities or even intollerances. None of those show on blood work. It will be trial and error on our part. I know the things he always throws up! So those are out. We will go from here. He is smart and anything!! He knows all his letters and can say them when shown flash cards, he loves hearing the sounds of the letters and then he can repeat them. He can count to 10, when he feels like it. He is so tempermental!! He only has to hear something one time and can say it. Also the same way with music when I hum something. He will repeat it exactly as I did it. So that will be neat to see how that come about in his life!!
Now on to my little guy! Gabriel is 10 months old and the size of a 5 to 6 month old. No big deal right? Well if he was still growing at least a little each month then no, it really wouldnt be a big deal. He has actually lost weight since he was 6 months and has not gained it back. He is tiny! My doctor doesn't think that he is producing any growth hormones, sooooooo it is off to many many appointments with him now. He needs to see a GI to make sure it isn't something worng that is making him not able to absorb what he needs from his foods and my milk. He had blood work done yesterday. Then we will work closely with an Endocrynologist. (sorry about my bad spelling!!) If he isn't producing the hormones then he will need to have daily injections. I have no idea for how long or anything like that. Pray would be appreciated there! I look forward to his little body walking around. That will be so cute!!!
Well, here I am finally after all the kids and I am tired! So I am going to end here and hopefully that will be good for now. As you can see our family is going through a rough time with all these health issues, but we know God is in control!!
Beary Special Words
