The busy-ness of Life......
Okay...I've said it before and not ashamed to admit it once again-----
I honestly don't know how some folks manage to take care of the house, manage their children---even teach them, take care of themselves AND keep up with a blog! I know they must be extremely organized folks----definitely an area I am constantly working on. However, after 7 months----wow----I'm going to do a fast catch-up on the amazing highlights of these past months and the blessings God has given us! You have been WARNED....this is a loooooooooooooong overdue update!
I see I left all hanging after Shane's last trip to Boston. His heart cath went very well in February : ) They widened his pulmonary arteries a bit to normalize the blood flow in his lungs to 60/40 for the right and left which flipped it from a 40/60. Shane bounced back quickly. We flew to Boston on a Monday, cath Wednesday, home on Friday! Shane is finally off Lasix and only has his daily aspirin! His speech is very good now, too. I think we understand about 80 % of what he says. He started preschool a couple of weeks ago---the same one Olivia attended. Most of you know we homeschool, but this was a great choice for us on several levels. Shane needed to learn that mom will always come back! This has been the biggest hurdle for him so Olivia and I pack up her books(and stuff) to have kindergarten down the hall from his preschool class : ) His teachers are amazing : ). They have been so gracious and encouraging to both Shane and me. This also gives Olivia and I some uninterrupted one-on-one time!
So now for our events of the past 7 months...................
I'm just about the worst blogger!!
I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS playing catch-up!
