November Follow up/ December Prayer Requests

The months are flying by and it's hard to believe that the year is almost over!  Is it just me, or does the year seem to speed up as it nears the end?  Anyway, time passes whether we are ready or not, so here it comes!

November:

  1. Health:  Still a HUGE problem!  Travis got Justin sick again so we are back where we started in October with croup.  We are going back to the doctor today to see if Justin needs anything else because he is having so much trouble kicking this!  He needs to get better so he can fight off other illnesses.  Travis and Justin are both sick and my mom has to stay away until they are better.
  2. My mom's testing: Great news!  No other cancer present, and she started chemo last month, right before Thanksgiving.  Today she is getting the port installed, which will help the treatments go more smoothly.  That is a huge answer to prayer!
  3. Schedule:  Obviously the sickness has made the scheduling still a problem.  We are doing what we can, but this isn't getting much better.  We are attempting to add an additional PT session once a week for a couple months and then we will double up on Speech for a couple of months, and then OT.  I cannot fit two of everything at once, but I think we can handle one extra.  I plan to do errands or find a play place to chill between the two sessions since they need to do PT and OT on the same day.
December:

  1. My mom's chemo:  She is starting to lose her hair and she is really tired.  Today will be the third round and she has nine more to go.  She just needs patience and strength.  I imagine you understand.
  2. Health:  The boys are tired of being sick and Randy and I could use some more sleep.  And we don't want my mother to get sick!  So we need the sickies to get healthy and the healthy to stay that way!
  3. Decisions:  Randy and I have some big decisions regarding our family and the direction we are heading.  We want to make wise decisions following God's will.  It's tough to tune out the world's knowledge and trust only God's wisdom!
Thank you for your faithfulness!  We love being confident that we are not alone!
