Sorry I've been MIA! Life just hasn't slowed down any in the past few weeks. So, where do I begin?
1st - JUDY: She's actually been doing pretty good these past few days! Starting to talk and babble a little more. She's still biting a lot. She's bit someone everyday at day care for the past week and a half! YIKES! Last week, I saw the little girl's arm that she bit AND I WAS MORTIFIED! It was terrible! Bleeding and Jude took a HUGE bite out of her arm! I could have died! So, I'm sure this has to do with sensory issues and her lack of communication. Occupational Therapy starts next week, speech therapy started a couple weeks ago, and still waiting on the neurologist to see her. We don't know what else to do at this point, except LOVE her, guide her, and take care of her. Judy is just so feisty, rough, and needy- neither one of our other kids were ever like this.
2nd- JACKSON: Bless his lil' heart! He has the growth hormone deficiency. Thankfully, he is getting screened to be part of a new growth hormone drug clinical trial! Which will be free to us for 9 months! After that, it will be around 2K/month for his growth hormone injections, and will need to take these once/day until he is done with puberty. CRAZY!! But I'd do anything for that lil' guy!! He has my heart! This week he will be performing at his school's talent show doing STAND UP COMEDY! Hilarious!!! Jackson is something else!!! I know 9 months seems far away, but please pray we figure out how to do this financially for him.
3rd- GRACE: Can't forget about our sweet 11 year old!! She is the kindest, most loving person!! She's becoming such a beautiful young lady. Starting to talk about boys, shaving her legs, got her ears pierced, etc!! YIKES! Am I really that old to have a daughter that old?!?!?! Crazy! She's also such a great help with Judy!! The past couple nights she has asked to put Judy to bed! :) It's too sweet! Grace takes Judy upstairs and rocks her for 15 minutes or so, and Judy falls right asleep! Precious sisters! Love it!
AND you can always continue to pray for Michael and me. Our lives have been so crazy the past year. We are trying so hard to keep it all together!! It just seems like one thing after another! Michael has had some health issues, and I'm on a temporary contract, hoping to have a job next school year. When it rains, it pours. We did get to get away last weekend. My parents watched the kids, we went to the Indy 500, and then to a very nice hotel downtown for the night. It was super relaxing and very nice to get away and spend time together. We are coming up on 12 years of marriage this June. Now that's crazy! Praying for no more craziness, praying for peace. Thanks again for all the support! :)
