Life has attacked once again! It seems as though I can't escape and those around me are thrown around with me.
Back in May the three of us came down with bronchitis simultaneously. I guess that isn't really accurate...Cameron started first on a Friday afternoon, I followed on Monday, and Cole caught up with us by Wednesday. Needless to say we were all three seen by three different doctors and prescribed the very same antibiotic. We were a house full of sickos!
Shortly after the cough disappeared...and boy do I mean shortly, My allergies kicked in. I have allergies, always have! BUT let me tell you....I hadn't ever experienced allergies like I did while pregnant with Cameron. Wouldn't it just be my luck to have to suffer through the allergy season while pregnant with my second? I have been suffering! Benadryl provides a small amount of relief...I'm not sure if it's because it's working or because it knocks me out and allows me to sleep for a few hours without being woken by a funny nose and constant sneezing.
Once June hit I realized we were in the home stretch...but I forgot the saying "when it rains, it pours"....silly me! Sure June has brought some great moments such as my little sister graduating from high school...Congrats Emily!!! BUT it has brought some rough times as well. Cole's temporary position as his place of employment ended quite unexpectedly and quite abruptly. Leaving us with some tough choices and decisions to make.
This last weekend my Grandmother fell and broke her right femur. You may remember that I spent nearly two years caring for her and I believe I mentioned that her health isn't that great and she is basically immobile. She was taken right into surgery to stabilize the break and hopefully repair it. She made it through surgery. She has had some complications but is doing okay. She will have surgery again tomorrow to remove a hematoma(sp) that also resulted from the fall. Her recovery time and future mobility are still in question.
Of course there is silver lining to everything. I have never felt so close to my Savior or my husband. I feel as if this/these is another trial we must pass through. I know that as we continue on the path we are on, turning to the Lord and following the council we receive, we will come out stronger.
There are lessons I've learned through the challenges of June, in fact that would make a great post for another day.
