October Update

I know it is really November, but just a day into it..

October was a busy month for us...  Trevor finished his football season.  The Freshman had a record of 5-3.  Trevor did well, playing most of every game.  He has a week before basketball starts.  He has been driving to school every day and has been pushing us to let him drive more, but we have been tough and stuck to the law, even though at times it would be easier not to.  He ended with all A's for the first nine weeks of school.  YEA!!

Mac and Brennah both have one more soccer game - then they are off sports until March.  They both had great reports at their parent/teacher conferences.  Mac is reading at a 5th grade level.  Brennah continues to do really well in all her school work.  She is proving to be very responsible for making sure all her work is done, everything is signed and ready to go for the next day.  I am happy to see this because she has always seemed a little bit carefree...  which in an of itself is not a bad thing, but she sometimes tends towards forgetfulness...

Rodney finished painting the outside of the house and did a good job.  He still needs to put the shutters back up and paint the doors, but the body and trim are done in time for the winter weather blast.  My friend Chrissy has been painting the inside of the house and has done the whole ground floor and upstairs hall.  She will be doing our bedroom and bath also.  It is so so good to have it done.  It makes me happy every time I walk in.

I had my wrist surgery.  It was more involved than I thought it would be.  The cyst wound through my wirst bones and it took a little more work to remove than the doctor originally thought it would.  I had a very large cast on my arm for 2 weeks and then moved to a removable splint.  I wore it pretty much constantly for a couple of weeks and am just now going without it for much of the day.  The scar was larger than I thought it would be but should end up being pretty invisible, blending into the wrinkles of my wrist.  I am still working on getting back full mobility. 

I had two lesions removed from my right leg and tested for skin cancer.  the spot on my calf was noththing - and the one of my thigh showed some abnormal cells, but was not cancer.  Thank you God for that...

I have had a cerivcal and endometrial biopsy done and will be waiting on the results of those within the next two weeks.  I have been worried, spending a lot of time praying and having trouble sleeping, but trying not to show the worry so the kids don't get worried before we have something to truely be concerned about.

Anyway...  updates to come more frequently now that my wrist is on the mend.....
