Just Stuff
Just thought I'd drop in and write a few thoughts so that you all would really see that I'm trying to keep this updated.
This week has been much calmer than the last few. Michael is in good spirits and seems to have more energy. He is very discouraged at not being able to try out for the school baseball team. Cuts have started this week and he checks the list every day and compares his self to see where he would have or could have ended up. We are trying to keep him positive and focused on the upcoming Dixie Youth season and Fall travel ball. It's still hard for him and me too! I love baseball and more so love to watch my boys play it. We let Michael practice with his Dixie youth team lastnight. Yeah, I know... not what the doctor ordered but he was limited. He could only play out field, practice pitching (not to a batter) and bat. Trust me, there was alot more that he wanted to do. We are trying so hard to keep his activities as "normal" as possible. Michael is doing great academically. He could be making straight A's but settles for A's and B's. All A's is considered nerdy to him...... Trust me, I've tried and nothing works.....
Hunter is Hunter... He is doing so good in school, mastering his multiplication tables and is self teaching himself via the internet how to type! Simply amazing! He has made the honor roll all year and seems to be enjoying his new school. I hope he continues to have great teachers like he has had this year! They have made a major impact on him. He is handling his brothers "sickness" as good as any 8 year old could. He knows all about it and is mainly concerned with his brother being all right! He is granddaddy's side kick and enjoys hanging out with him. They do alot of school work together and I think they keep each other on track!
David and I just live one day at a time ready for whatever pops up. Nothing is a surprise anymore and we just take it as it comes. David is working alot and has been on 12 hour night shift this week. Job security! The OT has come just in time with all the medical bills we have coming in the mailbox! Shewwwwww.....Oh and with our lovely check from the government it will not go to buy something like they want us too, it will just simply go to DUMC! LOL We will make it and remind ourselves everyday that Michael's conditions could be sooooooo much worse. We are thankful!
