Springing through life

Spring has sprung



Few months have past sense I wrote last and allot has been going on. I'm super busy running around and trying to keep up on it all. I have to say my house is were I'm lacking. The laundry is always piling up and the dishes wait for me each day. This last  year Kim and I said too each other we have made it one year almost w/ out a surgery for Andy. Wow did we choke on our words. soon after Andy started getting sick and having terrible headaches and dizzy spells his eye sight got worse and he was bumping into things more than before. He was throwing up almost every day for months and we thought it must have been from his meds. Well one day he came home from school kinda fell down the stairs of the bus and was complaining his head hurt and when Andy tells you he hurts you know it must really hurt. So I watched him and got nervous like most times when he doesn't feel well knowing something is up. He started throwing up every time he would move or sit up. I thought he was having some returning conditions from past brain surgery or a brain bleed. He asked his dad for a priesthood blessing and then Andy and I got in the car and I took him to the hospital. No brain bleed no returning condition but he had fluid up in his sinus area and we had treated him for a infection when we saw this on a past CT scan but one year later it was still there. Sinusitis it was so bad that it was eroding through the frontal lobe and was in his blood stream. So we had another surgery shortly after they cleaned it all out and created a sinus drainage where there wasn't one. He is doing great and was a champ like all the surgery's before. When his Moga AKA grandmother called to see how he was he said I'm great! how are you? LOL. He is such a sweet boy always trusting in the Lord and never wavering in his faith in him. Three months later we find our  he needs another eye surgery they were going in to reconstruct the muscles so his eyes were strait and this would help his alinement and vision. This surgery was also a less stressful and scary surgery it was only a few hours and all went well. Some parents help build there children's testimony buy telling them what they need to believe or what they believe to be true. I know I teach my boys what I believe and hope and pray they will have there own testimony someday. But Andy is different in the sense that he has always had a testimony and only reminds me and reassures me that it is all true and that our father in Heaven truly loves us and we are not alone in this life. Surely someone that has had so many struggles and hurdles to jump would waver but he never does. His faith is solid and sure. When this child shares his testimony you can feel the love and kindness our father has for us. I'm truly blessed to be a mother of such wonderful children. I know from the outside looking in it looks messy and loud and wild and crazy. And I can say, yes it is all those things and more. It is sweet and peaceful, rewarding and exciting. I love being a mom and on the days I feel like I'm "just a mom" I try to remember that I'm getting the education that was meant for me and I'm learning the most important things that are so hard to learn that's why we raise our children because it isn't a degree it takes a life time to accomplish. And today I'm happy I'm a mom and that Caleb and Andy and Nathan belong in our family and that God is sharing them w/ us for a short time how ever long that may be.

Stay tune theirs more to come.............
