Life Update....

Time goes by so fast that I find myself not having enough of it to do what I want to do or what needs to be done. I have found that updating my blog has been on my list of things to do but has always ended up on the backburner. So here is my life update as of today.

Life is a mess! Thankfully we have a God who knows what we need and loves us enough to give it to us even when we least deserve it!

Since April so much has happened and it is keeping us very busy. Aarons grandparents have both been in the hospital in the past few months and with prayer God has given them another chance at life. THank you so much Sister and Pastor Smith for your prayers. We now have appointments with them on a weekly basis and hav been taking turns getting them there.

Dj has asthma. This we knew when he was born and he has been doing very well with it but summer seems to flair up his sympotms and his doctor has decided that in order to reduce his winter symptoms, and help with the summer ones, he needs to have his tonsils removed. He has adult sized tonsils and adnoids so we expected it to happen by the time he turns 3. Aj had them out as well and hasnt had near as many sick days as before so I am encouraged that this will help.

We found out that we are indeed having a baby girl! I am very excited and happy as this is our last child due to my health(more later). Her name is Emma Danyel or Danyela, Im having a hard time deciding. I am 23 weeks pregnant and did I mention very excited? LOL I have already had her nursery painted and purchased the flooring for her room. Now I just have to convince Aaron to put it down for me.

I mentioned before that Emma will be our last child, and some of you know about my health issues. But I havent told anyone the full story, and its no secret, I just dont tell everyone I meet. So here it is. After I got pregnant Aaron noticed a larger knot in the center of my throat. I have had a thyroid nodule for a couple of years but it was benign so we didnt have surgery to have it removed. I had a ultrasound done on it and they found 8 small nodules around my thyroids and found that my left thyroid is severely enlarged and I have hyperthyroidism along with it.

This usually warrants surgery or radiation but since I am pregnant we arent able to do either yet. At this point we cannot even diagnose if it is cancer or not because the scan they have to do uses the radioactive iodine. My thyroid levels are fluxuating high and low and the medicine I am on has to be adjusted biweekly. This means that I have to go every two weeks to the Endocrinologists office in Southwest Houston and heave blood draw and have my levels reread. This is not fun, but hey it has to be done. At this point I am feeling like a pin cushion. As soon as Emma is born we have to do one round of radioactive iodine therapy to see where we are at. And to see what course of action we are going to take.

At first I was very scared and very depressed about it but even if God does not heal me, and even if it is cancer and I have to have surgery, I am going to be positive about it. Maybe in my circumstances, and in my suffering God may have a plan for someone else to find Him. Maybe this is going to be Gods timing to allow some of my lost family to come to Him. And I have finally put it in His capable hands and said Lord, for once I am not going to question your timing.

Now if only I could have that same faith in the rest of my life. Amazed at how I can trust God with one thing and not another? So am I, but I am trying. God knows our work situation is bad right now. He knows that we have nothing to fall back on and He has never seen His seed begging bread, but I am still a worrier and I still fall short of full trust in Him when it comes to finances. Why do we lack the faith in all areas? I wonder this of myself every day.

But here it is my update. My random thoughts of blah.
