Diagnosis and Perspective

Firstly, I want to say that our family's thoughts and prayers are with Nick and Lisa right now and the trials they are facing with Amryn's diagnosis and now as they take her home until the Lord calls her home. Wishing you God's strength today and always.

Which brings me to perspective. We've been so wrapped up in our lives, it's hard to believe sometimes we get so caught up in what we believe is so important. Money troubles, disagreements, body discomfort and job interviews... It's really all so trivial yet we get so wrapped up in it. Sometimes it's so hard to just let go and let God, and I'm one of the worst ones for over worrying about the little things.

And now to update you on the little things ;)

Kaitlyn is above and beyond at her 18 month checkup. She's healthy and developing above par which is great news since I was worried about her language development.

My job interview went okay. I absolutely hate job interviews and like I said, I over worry about everything. The news should be out mid-next-week about who got the job.

Ryan has been 99.9% diagnosed with Crohn's disease. He has to back to the hospital for further investigation (which involves day surgery again) in the next few weeks. The good news is we finally have a diagnosis and now they can form a treatment plan. He was not able to run the physical test for the sheriff program as he was still recovering from surgery but they were very gracious about it and told him they will contact him with the next physical test date and hopefully he can get into the April program. (Which the sheriffs tell me at work is better anyway because then you're not doing pushups in the snow!)

So that's our update for now. Hopefully we'll have some good news to post next week about my job!
