Its been a while since I posted..maybe it was because I really didn't feel like I had anything good to say..it seems as though over the past month or so,i have felt like ive been drowning.I lost my focuse,I left myself feel defeated.And it was not a good place to be in.Im thankful for a Father who reminds me that no matter how I feel,His love is constant,and always shining on me.I thankful for His faithfulness and for His understanding.I have felt myself coming out of the "slump" over the past week.. Last week my mom was here for a few days.We had Ashers birthday party the night she came(even though his birthday isn't until the 23rd) and the next day we went to Haydens doctor appointment in Greenville with Dr Lacroix.That morning as I was getting dressed I was praying and I felt like I heard God saying "your coming out" I loved the sound of that but I had a hard time really believing it all...Well the appointment felt like confirmation to that..Dr Lacroix was so impressed as she felt like the nodes had gotten allot smaller since the last time.I was excited to hear this but not expecting much more to be said but then she asked about our deductible and when it starts over for the next year,i said January and she replied,"ok well lets leave her on antibiotics another month,come in here dec 15th and we will do blood work again and if everything is clear we will take her off.After that I still want to see you every couple of months just to make sure nothing is growing." I got tears.i literally wanted to squeeze her.
(me mom and Hayden at the doctors office)
(shes a pro at all this.getting weighed)
(time for another check up)
Haydens scars look better every week...hopefully plastic surgery will not be necessary to fix it up at all.
When she has her hair up,its more noticeable but still able to cover it up pretty well with little strands:)
Mom was here till thrusday that week and we had such a fun and relaxing time together.My mom is just so amazing and our relationship is so very special to me.The time we had together here was so good for me.
(the kids were so sad to see her go and Asher has reminded me every day since then that hes just so sad to be missing mimi)
Thursday Matt met with his Dr. and again MORE good news! Dr Kana wants to see Matt again in a month(same day as Haydens appointment:))And he thinks after that Matt can slowly start working again..He did say it will take Matt a month or two before he can work full time and he will have to be slow about doing heavy lifting.
The end is in sight,Lord willing! I find it hard to get my hopes up even so,but im trusting God..His timing is perfect
The holidays definitely have brought allot of cheer around here as well..last weekend I put up my Christmas decorations and something about that just brings sucha cozy warm feeling(Matt would disagree since its not thanksgiving yet) But next weekend it what were really excited about..my best friend and her husband gave us money ,over our anniversary in august,to go to a Clemson football game,instead of them buying the tickets they left it up to us which game we wanted to go to...We decided to make it a weekend getaway and used his parents time share to get a motel and stay fri-sun. The kids are staying with Matts sisters family. I cant even tell you how excited I am about all this.Matt and I have been together 24/7 now for the past 4 months,and its had its share of trying times in our marriage.Along with many many good times as well. When we found out about Matts surgery I asked a few of my closest friends to commit to praying for our marriage over the next couple months while hes off work...especially with the stress of Haydens situation,finances,him being home all the time, the list could go on,i knew this wasn't going to be easy,it wouldn't have been easy if it was just Matts situation.My mother on law challenged me then "protect your marriage" those words have rung in my ears and im so thankful she spoke that to me. I feel like this getaway is just that,time for us to be alone,enjoying each others presence,having fun and forgetting about the rest.i am excited.We are closer then weve ever been, I feel and We have learned a ton about communicating for sure.All a part of Gods plan,i know this is true.
So,we eagerly await December 15th,praying for continual and complete healing for Hayden and Matt and of course ,praying that 2015,which is rapidly approaching,is our best year yet.:)
