Lately it seems that Satan is attacking our family from all sides of the ring. He is attacking Michael mentally and emotionally because of his work schedule, he is attacking me in trying to spend more time with God and fellow Christians with my schooling. I feel like sometimes I have to choose between school and God. I just want a degree to be able to help provide for my family and so Michael has time for his. I have noticed lately that around here when it rains it poors. Michael's job in jepoardy, Jeremiah's medical expenses exceeding our income, and Michael's income being cut. I feel like we lose out on fellowship because we can not go anywhere due to Gas, and the one place I could go and get fellowship, which is Bible Study, I cannot go to because I have to take a certain class at a certain time. I know God is good all the time and that he is faithful, I just have to keep my faith through these storms. God does work all things for the good of those who love him. I just need to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. Ok, I am done burdening the readers with my personal issues, but we would appreciate a little prayer sent up for us.
Update on Jeremiah. We are trying to get him to sleep in his bed all night and it is not going over so well, so we are exhausted, but I know the end will justify the means. On a more upbeat note, He is learning so many words, the doctor put him at a clear and concise 60 word vocabulary (these are words said at the doctors office that he can clearly understand!). He is still in the lower 5th percentile on his weight, but I have a feeling it will always be that way. He is in the 95th percentile on his height he is a whopping 38 inches (3ft 2inches tall)! We are still struggling with him being sick all the time and are working on getting tested for selective IgA deficieny, google if you want to know more, takes to long to explain! He most recently had 2 ear infections, stomach bug, and sinus infection (in the past 2 weeks) meanwhile he had tubes put in 1 1/2 months ago.
Family update,we just recently went to the beach which was amazing and we had a blast! Jeremiah loved the beach, and still asks almost every day to go the beach :), if only it was that simple.
Baby Tingle(hopefully Josiah :) ) is doing well he is just over a pound and growing very well. He tested negative for Cystic Fibrosis , which is awesome and a huge blessing. However, the only issue is that his Kidney's are backed up with fluids, and he could require surgery postnatal, we will have to watch and wait to know what will have to be done! I am due in 3 1/2 months, and it is going by way to fast. I have only gained around 5 pounds thus far ( I am 24 weeks 2 days), so I feel relatively healthy, however my belly is starting to POP!
Well sorry for the long update, its been a while, will post pictures from beach and baby tingle in a few days!
