3-29-2010 Two Months

Joey came home from the hospital two months ago, today! It has been two good months... Busy, but good.

Joey still gets 2 shots a day, and Phenobarbital once a day, and Keppra twice a day (he is weaning from the Pheno to the Keppra).

There have been "bumps in the road". There have been lots of doctors' appointments. There have been things we wish could have been different (like the day we learned that Joey was deaf. He might can hear a subway train roaring past if he is within 10 ft of it...).

Yes, we have our share of yucky days... allergies seem to affect all of us. All the kids like to tease, so someone is usually feeling "picked-on". Nobody likes to do chores, so Momma also feels "picked-on" when they don't want to listen (we are working on that!). Even Daddy feels "picked-on" at times (messy house, laundry everywhere...)

Still, it has been a good two months. We are blessed with 7 healthy (mostly), happy (mostly) children. We are blessed with lots of smiles (from Joey), hugs and kisses (from the other 6). We are blessed to know that our strength comes from above. We are blessed in that we don't need to worry about the future, it is in God's hands...

Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
