December Update {Epilepsy Awareness}

December 11, 2014 by Dana

It’s been a month since I posted on the blog.  I really was feeling burnt out and just needed a long break.  Plus I was sick with strep for two weeks and simply did not feel up to writing anything.

My life is ever chaotic but full.  There is always so much going on.  It’s never-ending but I’m thankful we have so many activities to keep us busy.

Jackson has therapy every Monday in Charleston right now but that should be ending soon.  It’s for his Parent – Child Interactive Therapy and it’s been amazing for us.  His therapist is so impressed with our family and how quickly we have achieved our goals.  It’s been great for me too because it’s assured me that I have this Momma thing down.  Parenting comes easy to me even when I feel like I’m barely keeping it together.  I always knew I was born to be a Momma.

Jackson also has therapy on Tuesday’s where we always have.  He’s my third child at NextStep.  They are amazing to work with.

Last week, Jack was fitted for braces and shoes for his feet as requested by his wonderful therapist.  The braces fit inside his shoes and help with his arch support.  They keep his ankles from twisting and help him balance better.  At least that is the hope.  If these don’t work, he will get ankle supports to help him gain strength in his legs and feet.  The goal is to prevent him from having similar issues as Emmalee has.

Laycie began back with her speech therapy last week as well.  She’s officially done with physical and occupational therapy.  Her speech is still challenging though so she will continue with that.  I really need to get her an appt to have her tongue tie checked and discuss surgery options for it.  I just dread having her suffer with having that done.

She has a neurology appt on Monday.  We will see how she is doing and if she has lost any more weight.  If so, she will be switching medications again which is always a challenge for her.  The doctor had some suggestions for us that we will discuss at this visit.  Not sure what they exactly are but I trust his opinion on the matter.

Winston and Emmalee are doing great as always.  At the neuro Monday, I will bring up Emma’s followup for her feet so we can see where we are on that.  I’m so past ready for the doctors to get rolling with a treatment plan.

So that is our most recent update.  Life is just so busy right now and Christmas time is always exceptionally busy for us.  Hope you are all well!  God bless!

Our 2012 Review {Thoughts From Me}

December 30, 2012 by Dana

2012 has been a busy year for us.  The year brought us joys and sorrows.  Overall, it was one of the best years we could have.

This week in 2011 we discovered we were expecting a new addition to our family.  Jackson Lucas Lee was born in August 2012.  9 months of morning sickness, heartburn, headaches and exhaustion brought to us the sweetest joy we could ask for in one tiny, sweet little boy.

The older kids were thrilled to have a new sibling.  They look forward to helping to raise Jax and loving him, playing with him and sharing in every joy he brings to us.  Their world circles baby brother right now.

School wasn’t nearly as structured as I had wished for us this past year.  Thankfully, we had reviews for the Schoolhouse Crew which kept us going, filling in as we passed through the year.  Many items we stuck with, using almost daily and many others gave us the change we needed to keep us going.  Needless to say, we look forward to another year with the crew as we continue to adjust to having another baby in our home.

This year we upgraded items in our home too.  The kids got new Televisions for Christmas.  We got new living room furniture at tax time. 

We have a new-to-us Tahoe. Most recently we purchased a new washer and dryer, which was much needed with washing 6 peoples clothing.  Baby things had to be purchased.

I must say my favorite purchase this year was my Nikon camera.  I’ve been able to work on my photography business this year and provide memories for my family and friends throughout the year.  Photos that have blessed those I love most.

I can only hope as we head into the new year, that next year will be as good to us as this one has been.  Our lives have been so blessed throughout this past year.  I’m hoping to accomplish much in 2013, all while watching my babies grow even more.  It’s the first time in a long time, I can say I’m actually looking forward to the new year.

Happy New Year to all of you.  I pray you have the best year you can too!

A Quick Update {February 6, 2010}

February 6, 2010 by Dana

So I haven’t written anything in a while and I have sort of fallen off the wagon as far as my resolutions have gone.  But I can always pick up where I left off and start again right?  That is the point and living and learning in life. 

I’ve been reading some pretty inspirational stuff lately.  I’ve also been taking photos and keeping up with college.  Doing fair with that.  English is improving my writing skills though I know that I can do even better with that.  I’m also preparing to homeschool the kids again and spending a lot of time online gathering curriculum and notes to use.  There’s so much great stuff to work with that it’s all so hard to choose but I am letting the Lord lead my feet and guide me to his path this time.  So far, He’s doing a great job but I honestly did not expect any less.

I have a lot going on.  Painting in the girls room, organizing all over the house.  Got to finish the boys bathroom, start on the girls.  Also have to set up for a classroom but the basis for that is begun and I need to pick up reading books to work with, just to keep around home.  So much to do, so little time they say and it’s sooo true.

Well, that’s about it for now… until next time… and hopefully next time I’ll be a little more organized with what all I have to say. 🙂
