Another test?

At some point, things are going to get easier. I really believe that. They have gotten so much easier, but at some point my sweet Isaac will not be in pain every day and instead we can talk about all the miracles that have happened to him and Christopher. AHHHH! I am so tired of asking for prayer. I can honestly say that this part never gets easy. Asking for the same things, waiting for these prayers to be answered. But what is great is watching Isaac's story reach so many. There are Moms at the boys school that hear his story and begin to cry over what we have been through. Sometimes I forget. Maybe forget isn't the right word, maybe block the past is a better example. The tears, the heartache....it's a lot for anyone.

I can not thank our Wellspring family enough for all your prayers today. You have no idea how much both Isaac and I needed that. Sometimes when you live a life like ours, you forget how great you have it because it is so easy to get consumed with all the tiny details. So thank you Pastor Rick for leading hundreds of people to pray for our family! I am so thankful for our church family!

For everyone else, Isaac is still having a rough week. His poor belly is cramping all day long. The poor thing is in so much pain. He also has massive diaper rash right now and is loosing weight again. This sounds silly, but I honestly think it is true. Every time the weather changes, so does Isaac's body. Unfortunately when there is no humidity and it's sunny out, he feels great. But then as soon as the weather turns just a little, he starts stooling out. So today, with the rain, let's just say it was a stinky room to walk into this morning to get the boys!

But on the positive side, we have finally had two family days! This was a great week for the 4 of us to relax together. Friday afternoon we played outside for hours and then Brian and I had a date night once we put the boys to bed. Then yesterday we had a great day playing at different parks and enjoying the fact that Brian was home and awake. It's been a hard summer with Brian working mostly nights, but we are trying to make the best of every day. All the boys care about each day is making sure that the four of us can be together at least once. At least that is what Christopher tells us each day :)

The boys finished summer school the beginning of August and start back on September 1st. They are so excited! They still don't know who is getting which teacher, but they are so excited to see all their friends and have Physical Education :) Isaac will be getting fitted for another brace. He had one for his right foot, but he grew out of it and it was hindering him from being stable without it. But now it is time for him to get another one. Luckily summer is almost over so it won't be such a big deal for him while he's wearing pants. Also, Isaac will be seeing an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor to see if he has a form of Sleep Apnea. Luckily this doctor won't be giving him shots, he's pretty tired of me giving them to him.

The boys so happy for a family day!

These boys love each other so much! Every day I am so thankful for the love and joy that they have together. I really don't know if I could have greater joy than watching my boys play together every day and enjoying being together. My heart goes pitter patter watching them and basking in their love :)
