Life Turns on A Dime

Again find myself playing catch up.  By this time however so much has happened that I don't think I will remember it all to blog about it.  I will start from current and go backwards. 
I have returned to college to go for my Masters in Healthcare Management.  I have been enjoying everyday of the course work again and what all I am doing.  It has been a bit time consuming and challenging but I am so anxious to finish and reenter the workforce outside of home. 

Since I know have a 11, 8 and 5 year old.  All three will be in full time school soon and going strong.  So I will head back to work where God leads in healthcare management.  I am truly looking forward to it. 

Tim is working full time and works really hard. He also picked up a second job to help out a bit.  Three growing kids we need to be working triple to save for future expenses.  He has had a big bump in the road the last few weeks with health.  We are still in the learning and processing stages of what he has going on.  But I know that God is in control and he will guide and protect this.

He has something that the MRI shows called OPLL.  So the ligament in the spinal cord is ossitifying into hard boney tissue.  That is causing pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.  It is causing numbness and pain in his hands mostly, but also affecting balance and some other areas of pain and tingling.  It is congenital and so far we are told not much can be done.  He has had a CT scan and he will go for a few more opinions for us to take the correct course of action. 

Arianna is doing great in 6 grade.  We had a wonderful volleyball season and we are in post season training now.  Her art work is getting better and better.  We think she is headed for the arts school soon.  She has written a couple of songs with her guitar and she works on singing  several of her favs now and learning to chord them on her guitar. She has made a couple a new friends and has made one really great friend with a fellow homeschool girl and volleyball player.

Hunter is soaring through the 3rd grade.  He loves his teacher and she enjoys him as well.  He has made honor roll all year to date, and has won awards in reading and classroom help.  He had a great soccer season.  Took a really hard hit to the face in one game, took a minute and shook it off and kept right on playing.  He will start a second season of baseball here very soon. 

Wynleah is getting ready for kindergarten.  At home daily she is already do kindergarten work and writing several letters and names.  She can count to 100 and sings everything all day long.  Has all of her shapes and colors down, and working on the calendar and phone and address.  She loves doing her devotion every night like her big brother and sister.  She is starting to read primary books on her own, so we feel like by the start of school she will be reading with ease.  She took a break from dance this season but will be playing t-ball this spring like big brother. 

I think that about covers it.  We have had some sad times this year as well as happy. 
We lost my cousin 21 years old toa car wreck.  It was a huge shock and still feels sad and painful to think about her being gone.  She has a 2 year old and 8 mth old little girl and they and their daddy are trying hard to learn to live life without their mommy daily.  We love the three of them very much.  We hope to go for a visit again really soon.  We talk with them weekly. 

So as of today we are all busy in learning and growing and we are praying for direction and answers for Tim.
