YAY GOD

You just never know what God has in store for you. One minute you are sitting in your house drinking coffee and the next minute your child is being admitted to the hospital. Well, this has been how life has gone for us these last 2 1/2 years, but each time we spend time in the hospital with Grayson my faith gets stronger, which is bizarre, but it makes sense because at those times I know that I have done all that is humanly possible and so have our doctors to keep him healthy. All you have in those moments is your faith. I have to believe the promises that God has made for our family. If I don't then I would live in fear all of the time! The truth is we are wonderfully and beautifully made by God, and even though I don't like the fact that Grayson and our family has to go through such hard things it has brought us together. We know now that his kidneys, ureters, and bladder are abnormal. We also know that his kidney function is perfect!! Explain that to me and it not be a God thing?? On paper his kidneys should be a mess, but the truth is they aren't. The issues that his kidneys etc. have should be making it harder for his kidneys to work, but everytime they check his kidney funtion it's in normal range(YAY)! So this post is just a big yay God from me!

A new season

There are so many changes with our family, I can only say whew! I know I haven't posted in a while, but we have been really busy:) William started football, Grayson is going to his new therapy two days a week, and Luke is getting ready for his senior year! Not to mention all the typical busy stuff that always goes on around here. I feel like we are in a totally different season for our family. We are learning our new normal (again). Which any time there is major change in your usual routine it takes some getting used to. I am really looking forward to school this year for my guys,(all of them). Grayson will begin getting homeschooled for preschool, William is in the fifth grade, and this is Luke's last year at school so all that senior stuff is so fun! Plus I love fall and Grayson breathes so much better in cooler weather. Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and I just thought so many times throughout the day about how serious your wedding vows really are. I know that when you say them they mean a lot to you, but until you go through and put some of them to the test, they take on a whole new meaning. I am so thankful for my family, I don't know what I would do without them! As far as an update on Grayson, he has had a great summer dispite the heat. He has lost weight again (ugh), which drives me crazy! But I am going to continue to figure out how to keep that from happening. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
