The newest update

I want to thank many of you for praying for me and my family. It means a lot to each of us. It is hard to explain all the time all that is going on with each of us. So much has happened health wise and struggles wise that I debate on sharing all the news. Just know that we are in deep need of prayers for things to work out for us.
Not too long ago I had an episode at our local pharmacy that at the time when I was rushed to the ER that they thought it was another mini-stroke. Thank the Lord it was not that b/c my doctors believe now that it was a good size seizure. Either are not good but the second of the two was better than the first.
I continue to be in contact with Michigan Head and Pain Neurological Clinic that my doctors have referred me too. As many of you know I was there back in the beginning of the summer for almost a month. I went after my episode recently for a check up and have been given strict orders to follow. So far they have not helped and I still struggle with major headaches/migraines. It has been hard to hurt all the time everyday. It has been hard to take so many medications that my body just cant adjust without being groggy all day and tired all the time.
My kids are doing well. Kaci has turned six years old and is a ball of joy. She is now apart of gymnastics every Tuesday and loves it. She is progressing well at Pre-K in Greenback. I hope after this year she can move up to Kindergarten. Bryce is growing up so fast and all boy. He is a lot of fun to be around and loves to fish. When I do fill well we try to go. He has learned so much of how it all works. I am proud of him. He made a 3.0 GPA in the first quarter and loves to go to school. Amber is 16 to be 17 soon. She is definitely a teenager. Has the attitude of one and boy am I protective of her. I just don't want her to get hurt my guys b/c of the pain she suffers from her real dad. She has done quit well and doing good for what she has been and has gone through. She is a good girl and loves to go to church. That makes me proud of her too.
Shannon is the backbone of the family since she is the one working and trying to hold us together. It is a lot of pressure for one person to take on. She has done well for what has been dealt her way. She needs a lot of prayer b/c she does struggle with the stress of it all. She definitely deserves a medal of what she has gone through.
With what our family has faced we have been weathering the storm. We have lost things and many things have gone to collections. But what do you expect when I cant work or get Social Security. We are fighting for it but so far we have not won. We need prayer for this b/c we need the help beyond what can be imagined. I know out of sight out of mind is easy to do b/c you think if you don't think about it then you don't have to worry about it. But I say this for a reason. I need prayer on this b/c we cant provide for my family and I feel helpless b/c I cant do my part. Many times people see me when I am not hurting too bad and just assume that all is fine and that I am okay. But they don't see me in my home and they don't see me when I hurt at my worst. It is hard to talk about b/c it can be depressing and that is not me. I don't want to be that way and I don't want people to take that from me. But sometimes I cant help it and I pray that most of you can be patient with me in this. It has been the worst trial I have faced in my life but I do know God will see us through it b/c He has so far. It reminds of the poem "Footprints". Many times I look back and see one set of footprints and think God has left me but am reminded in His Word that He has not and those footprints are His carrying me in these tough times. Please pray for us b/c we need it. Thank you for all you have done for me and my family. God bless to you all.
