Hi everyone

I am still very slow at reading this months posts, my life is AGAIN in a

whirlwind

My house is sold ........ sad

We got more than our asking price ................. happy

We tried but failed to get out of the contract so my daughter could rent the

house ........... sad

But another family will enjoy the home and hopefully experience great joy

from it .... happy

I am now living with (oldest daughter) .................... happy

But its a 2 bedroom apartment lol .................. sad

Had an annual IEP meeting Tuesday on top of so much stress, but it was the

best meeting I've ever had and Sara's complete needs were met with a lot of

supports ..... very happy

I'll have to battle to keep this IEP in place in Nashville this fall (I've

already been warned that this will be hard) ............. sad

I've noticed with Sara what I think are Partial Lobe seizures (leg and hand

shaking), not one of the seizures that she's ever had and our quality of

neurology care here su^*s ...... sad

So I'm making an appointment at Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville where their

reputation is outstanding ........................ happy

We have been hit with horrible news, Mikes dad has been DX with Stomach

cancer, Signet Cell cancer, which is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer.

There are no markers for this cancer so even after surgery he will never know

if they got it all or if it has shown up somewhere else. His mental state

right now is so sad, he's basically giving up and has convinced himself that it

is everywhere. I talk to him daily (sometimes 3 times a day) trying to keep

his hope up especially since his surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. My mother

in law is the best woman out there, I've been so blessed with great in-laws

and everyone here is so sad over this news. Its hard to believe and accept

that we will be facing a huge battle again, just a year later after my Mom

daeth. Mike's health is out of control right now too, we cannot get his blood

pressure down and I cringe every time my cell phone rings from an unknown

number

from Nashville. I keep focusing that a lot of this tress I'm feeling has an

end to it, soon I'll be in Nashville to care for my hubby, get the kids

involved in church there and activities and celebrate the birth of a new niece

(

due the first week in June:)

Please keep my father in law in your prayers, for Wednesdays surgery and for

Mikes health. He's never lost a parent and he is soooooooooooo eternalizing

his anxiety. All I can do is keep the spirits up here and listen to everyone's

sorrows.

I did find a great scripture which Id like to share, it really has helped me

and I know it will help others in our position

" Hebrew's 12:1-2 Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great

cloud of witnesses (the saints who have gone before us), let us throw off

everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run

with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,

the author and perfecter of our faith.

Great steps! I'll throw off the stuff that slows me down- run the race of

life

with determination-always looking at Jesus.

Thanks for listening you all
