Yes... I know. I'm a blogging slacker. Life has been nothing less than crazy lately. But I know I need to be more purposeful about updating this for my family that live far away. All my mental energy has been focused on medical appointments lately... mine, the kids, and extended family.
This weekend the kids were hit by a horrible bug which ended up being a combination head cold and stomach bug. Other than that, the kids are doing great. Both Paige and Molly have qualified for speech therapy which is FABULOUS, but that means one appointment a week for Paige and two a week for Molly. That keeps us running.
And the update on me. My test results are back and my growth hormone levels were the same both on the medication and off the medication. So the meds I was taking for the tumor weren't helping nor hindering my high GH levels. What does that mean? I don't know. My endocrinologist is going to be sharing my case with his peers and then will be contacting me this week with "treatment options". I'm not worried at all and have complete peace about it considering what Steve's mom is going through (see below). It gives me perspective.
Over the last couple of weeks we have learned that Steve's mom's cancer has metastasized. This means her medical team is speeding things along to get her back on chemo. So we will be making a trip down to southern California when we find out what her chemo schedule is so we can help out. This has us on our knees and we are laying it in God's hands daily. If you want to follow her journey, Christie is keeping a CaringBridge blog for her HERE.
Needless to say, that means that I haven't had much time or energy to be blogging. I am also going to be scaling back on my photography business after I have completed my current bookings. This is a season that we just need to be focused on family. So that's the latest and greatest. All things considered... we are doing well. We are using this as an opportunity to re-prioritize and focus on God for our strength. And He is definitely providing exactly that!

Thank you, dear Amy, for deciding to scale life back a bit and narrow your focus to God and family at this crucial time. That seems so wise for you right now. I pray God will direct your steps each day as you follow him. love you...
Dear Amy, you are not able to be a slacker with 3 children:) You and yours and Steve's Mom & family are in my prayers, you are an inspiration to others,living in faith,depending on God as He wants us to.

You are so not a slacker! My last blog post was April 2010 and I have no kids.... 'nuff said.
