In sickness and in. . . sickness!

You can probably tell by the title of this post that I am sick of being sick!  It seems like since October I haven't been healthy for more than a week at a time.  As soon as I start feeling better, something else hits me.

That being said, I'm feeling grateful that it is me who has been sick and not Mason. Almost every day the last couple of weeks, and many times before that, Facebook has reminded me that Mason was in the hospital during the first few months of 2016 more than he was home.  While he was, I remember praying often asking God to heal him, even if it meant I wouldn't be healthy instead.  Any parent understands that prayer.  We want to take the pain and suffering away from our children.

So, although I have been sick of being sick, I am happy to be sick if it means Mason isn't.  Mason has had a relatively healthy 2017 with only one hospital visit for a respiratory infection.  Praise the Lord!  Mason is getting a scope done Monday to check for a Hietal (spelling?) Hernia.  Not sure what outcome to pray for.  If they find one, it would mean another surgery to correct it.  If they don't find one, then it is still a mystery why Mason has so much acid reflux that he can hardly eat (and anyone who knows Mason knows how he LOVES to eat).

Prayers for God's will to be played out are appreciated!

Bye for now,

Kara

It's been a while!

Wow!  I can't believe it is March 2017!

I can't believe I haven't blogged since October 2016!

Long list of excuses:  herniated neck disc for me, minor surgery for Tim, disc replacement surgery for me -in Florida - in December - requiring this "No Fly girl to. . .Fly", time to heal, Mason hospitalized with a respiratory infection, me getting a respiratory infection (that lasted WAY TOO LONG), etc., etc.

But, finally, I am feeling good. I have energy!  I am not in pain from a pinched nerve in my neck every time I sit at the computer! Family is all healthy!

So I hope to be blogging more, as I enjoy writing about what God is teaching me.

But for now, this is enough!

P.S.  If you haven't read my blog posts titled Adoption Part 1, 2, and 3, you might enjoy them. You will learn a whole lot about how God used Tim and I to be parents of three wonderful guys!

Until Next Time!
