Psalms 69:30 I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.

I praise your name for all you do, all you've done, and all you will do for us. I am learning to trust in you even though ,at times, it is tough. Give me the wisdom, understanding and faith to keep my eyes on you. Surround me with your presence and guide my every step. Father," your presence is all I need, its all I want, and all I seek and without it, without it there's no meaning". I joyfully serenade you with this song.

 

We spent Thanksgiving with my awesome sister, Gladys, and her family up in San Antonio. We had a blast!

 

                                                                         

A year ago, my sister had double mastectomy. She is a cancer survivor. Thank you Lord. You've kept her alive and safe. You've kept my sister as happy , upbeat,  and beautiful as she's always been. Her loving girls bring joy to her home.

 

My mom went with us. Thank you father that my mommy is strong. Please keep giving her the strength and courage to deal with everything that life throws at her. I ask that you surround her with your love and peace.

 

Our kids did well on the 5 hour ride over there, except when Noah was throwing his tantrums. He seemed to enjoy the ride when he had something to beat me with. My Tiny Terror is becoming a meany weany. Thank you father. Last year our Noah seemed so frail and weak. He gets stronger and more energized as the year comes to an end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite moments, besides stuffing my face with all the green beans and stuffing of  course, was the quiet walk my husband and I took after dinner. We walked hand in hand and reminisced over our last 8 years as husband and wife. We spoke of our good moments, our bad moments and our worse moments. We've grown so much as individuals, husband and wife, and parents. Thank you Lord, you've given me the perfect mate. You heard my prayers when I asked for a Christian friend and gave me a Christian husband that I love dearly. I can't imagine my life without Jonathan. Thank you Lord.

*Tomorrow we have a Dr. appointment with the urologist. Prayers for Noah please.

Bye Bye October

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.

 

 

 

The chill in the air is a little hard to take in. Last year, November was the month where many of our troubles began. It was in November when we realized there was an issue with Noah's eating. His weight became a concern and the weekly visits to the Dr. were an order.  

 

Earlier this week, his nephrologist called. Noah will need surgery to correct his reflux which is still severe. His bladder is smaller than it should be and the fact that the urine keeps going back into the kidney as opposed into the bladder is not helping the bladder any. The deflux will be done in order to help the bladder expand and later in his life this won't create more problems.

The problem...a deflux isn't always successful :/

We were so close to make it through November without the added stress of a surgery. Maybe next year, holidays will be nice and quiet. We aren't sure when this will be done. As I type this, I anxiously await for the call to confirm appointment. I hate my child going through all of this. I hate my family under so much stress. I hate my husband feeling so helpless. I hate myself being mentally weak.

 

And then, there is that bump on Marcos' neck. A couple of weeks ago we noticed a bump on his neck. We didn't hesitate to take him to the Dr. Dr. didn't seem too concerned. Last week, we went in for a follow up. Surgeon's opinion is necessary now.

 

I don't like the chill in the air anymore. Bye bye October.

 

 

 

 I love my baby brother Noah.
