This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

So tired

You know, I wonder sometimes if we will always be sooo tired. Will we ever get some relief? But I have been reading a book, and it told of parents who had lost a child. The mother said she was tired for one year after the tragedy. I know we didn't lose Preston, but have been through several traumatic weeks with him, and it is all not over yet. So I guess the emotional, physical, and even spiritual tiredness will get better over time.

Preston is having problems urinating again. If he hasn't by a.m. Jr. and I will have to cath him. We are praying he will soak the bed by morning. I don't know why he has this problem. We tried different things tonight, and nothing worked. He last urinated this a.m. We weighed him and he has lost 10 more lbs. So far he has lost 43 lbs. If he keeps losing, then we have to see what needs to be done.

Our caseworker from Home Health is coming Monday and bring me forms to fill out to see if we quality for a program through the hospital that will pay the co-pays for his therapies. So we will see how that goes.

So that is all I know right now.
