Crazy household....

This week has been crazy in my house! Liam is cutting 4 molars and an incisor! NO FUN!! He basically walks around from the time I get home till bed time, whining! On top of this he's been waking up around 2 or so crying and he'll go back to bed but he'll keep doing it every 30 min or so until he gets motrin....I can imagine it's hard to sleep with all that activity in his mouth! As if this isn't enough....Dan has been walking around in a lot of pain the last few days. I seriously was soo annoyed with him for complaining of his back and not doing anything about it...so I made him an appt on Tuesday to see another back dr. He was afraid to go back to his other dr, because she thought he needed surgery....not to mention she couldn't see him for a month of so!? So I got him this appt with a different dr. Low and behold....he needs surgery! ASAP!!! They have to get it approved by comp but as of right now everyone is doing what they can to get the ball moving! The dr said if it weren't for needing the approval, he'd schedule him for surgery that day! Basically his disc is gone! They need to go in, put in a spacer and fuse it! Good thing we didn't keep waiting (Dan's NOT SO SMART idea!!) otherwise we might have a new house payment and another baby on the way! The dr said after the surgery he will be in a back brace for three months and then he can go back to work on light duty for 6 months (I believe). So I guess we're waiting a bit on the property....oh well, if this helps relieve Dan's pain, it'll SOOO be worth it! My husband takes Advil more than I change my underwear!! lol. Seriously though he takes it wayyyy more than you should! Not to mention he takes 4 or 5 at a time! His pain has just been really bad, even after the surgery (which btw was 2 years ago exactly on the 28th!!) So be praying for him....I hope this surgery is a little more successful than the last!!


On a better note....according to the last update Ashlyn is doing really well! They're lightening up the sedation and she in fact moved both legs and arms yesterday!! Praise GOD! She is truly a miracle child!! We'll be continuing to pray that she keeps up with this wonderful progress and that when she completely wakes up she surprises everyone with how well she is! Please God LET IT BE!! How much more can one family endure....
