Random Catch Up

Sorry, I have been missing in action for the last month. Let me just start by saying it has been a month of action!! Some of which I could have lived without, but am thankful that I lived through. Here's a catch up post.
  • Cooper had pneumonia and got admitted to the hospital.
  • Within one hour of being admitted, he was flown out to a better one.
  • Missy prayed and cried--- a lot!
  • Cooper got sepsis.
  • Cooper got a pic line
  • Cooper came home.
  • Cooper's pic line kinked, Cooper got readmitted.
  • Alexus felt very sad that she hadn't seen her family and had suddenly been sent to live with NANA.
  • Cooper got his kinks worked out.
  • Cooper came home.
  • Missy worked for 4 days.
  • Cooper got a virus and/or drug fever.
  • Cooper got readmitted for three days.
  • Cooper came home. Missy went back to work.
  • Cooper got a four wheeler and Alexus got a golf cart. Missy and Robert are suckers.
  • Missy held her breath for another week praying that we would not be readmitted. Three times and eight days were enough.
  • Alexus is happy too, but scared that we will have to take him back.
  • Missy got a new car (again, I'm a sucker for a good deal).
  • Alexus go her first highlights and her boyfriend broke up with her :(
  • Alexus won Student's choice, an award voted on by the students. Very proud of her.
  • Missy has learned a huge life lesson. Enjoy every single day and don't sweat the small stuff.
  • Missy turns 34 tomorrow. I think I will cry some more now.

Happy Birthday!!! So honored to be praying for my little man Cooper. You're doing a great job don't ever doubt that and you're right don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff to the One who created us and loves us more than we can comprehend! Love you friend!

Hey, I turned 37 this month, so I don't want to hear any whining.

I am so grateful Cooper is okay and I'm praying for you guys that he stays well and is on the mend. I love that you are able to glean meaning out of all of this and are reminding us that the small stuff really is just...small.

Love you! xoxo

Well, I'm just a little late to wish you a happy birthday! I hope you've been enjoying all your new toys and had no visits to the hospital :D I've been AWOL too, and will continue to be (I'm going back to work in Aug - teaching HS students with Autism.) Wish me luck. HUGS,
