Wow, this year is almost over!! Although it seems like time is flying by, it can't go fast enough for us at this point. Billy Boy's pain is at an all time high, and not even the Botox shots are helping much at this point. It has to be the scoliosis. The plan is surgery January 18th for fusing the rods to his spine and surgery 4-6 weeks later to put in the Baclofen pump. Plans can change at any time, but for now, that seems to be it. We've been on an emotional roller coaster about what is being done when, and I'm done with that, just tell me where and when to show up. Meanwhile, we are visiting the slew of doctors that it takes to get authorizations for things like this.
Monet has been sick with all her allergy stuff, but is finally on the mend. Her headaches had been gone, now they are creeping back. I have to wonder if these two things are related? She scored very well on her grades and is once again on the honor roll. She is such a doll and a wonderful girl. She is taking saxophone, hip hop, and we are singing in the Christmas choir at church.
All month I have been trying to find one daily thing to be thankful for, it hasn't been hard, but it has shown me I have a lot to be thankful for. The biggest thing I am thankful for is that God loves me so much, he sacrificed his only son so my sins would be forgiven. Our salvation tops all other things!! I have also been blessed with an amazing husband, a beautiful son, a loving daughter, a supportive family, wonderful friends... the list goes on and on. I am thankful for the life God has chosen for me and I pray that I am living up to his expectations! Happy Thanksgiving... today and everyday!!!
