When It Rains It Pours

Lots of stuff has been going on with my family......where do I start??? I feel like 2012 has been the greatest yet hardest year of my life!!!

1. Janae went to a concert at The Grove and fell. She was rushed to UCI where they did a CT of her back and everything was fine EXCEPT for a 2cm nodule on her Thyroid! WHAT! So I made an appt to see a Endocrinologist. He did 6 biopsies and they came back fine. She may need surgery to remove it still....we still have to go back.

2. While my husband was on vacation I made him an appt with our PCP and he had a physical.....we ultimately found out he has high cholesterol, Arthritis in his knees, and skin cancer. He's amess but I hope to get lots of it resolved and his health back on check. We go today to see a dermatologist to check the rest of his moles and we go see a reconstructive surgeon for the cancer on his ear. (hes seeing the same Dr who did my breast Reconstruction)

3. We were just told Jackson...my 2yr old may have Autism. I'm completely devastated over it and I'm in a panic to get him the help he needs. This will potentially turn our lives upside down. I just hope I do everything right by him. Now I'm paranoid that Jersey is showing signs of Autism....I hope not..I hope it's just me being crazy. Lets pray.

So I have hired a family friend to be a part-time Nanny for us. Since I don't have my parents I need the extra help. I'm really excited to get help with the kids so I can get stuff done! It's much needed! I hope she loves my kids and they don't drive her crazy....lol

I'll have updates on it all...so keep an eye out on my BLOG!

Today.....Day 6 post op

Today I am super thankful for my amazing daughter! She has been here taking care of her brothers, sister and me. It's hard to take care of all of us....especially me! I like my house clean, I like the kids clean and dressed , I like for the kids to have routine and with my surgery I have to let a lot slide. It's hard for me!!!!! Really hard! But, she is trying her best and doing a really good job. She has her own issues.. She is medically homeschooled right now which is heaven sent right now. She has tummy issues that are completely under control so we just decided along with her Dr that she stay out for the rest of the year just to be safe ;) she is really the best! The best!!!!

I do miss my husband during the day too. I know it's hard on Janae and she complains like we all do at times. Dale just makes me feel gooood! He is so loving. When he comes home he always makes sure he gives me a kiss. Feeds us all, washes clothes AND folds them! He has really stepped it up because I can barely walk at this point. I have my ups and downs and when I start to get depressed about my body he tells me how beautiful I am. Then he stops me...looks me in the eyes and says "this was the best decision. You made the best decision. Stop baby" and I do! He always brings me right back when I'm giving up or acting crazy...lol! He is an amazing man and he has brought out the best in my daughter and I! We love him!!
