Thank You

Hi, this is Missey's husband Tom. I just wanted to let everyone know how much your prayers, words, and cards have meant to us. We are getting stronger with your help. Your kindess to our family truely has been (and is) the glue to help our broken hearts be put back together. Baby Missey Kate is doing fine, she has already past her birth weight and eating well. There is so much I want to “say” to all of you but time is short, I must get back to packing. Again, I want to say Thank You and may God bless you the way he has blessed me. I do hope to post again soon to tell you what it was like to have Melissa as my wife.


 


God bless you all,


Husband to Melissa, Tom Gray

Thank You

This is Misseys husband Tom. I'm new at this stuff so forgive me if I'm not quite right. I wanted to let you know how much you people made my missey happy. All she wanted to do was help someone else and when someone told her that she had been helpful to them it would make her day. Thank you…..all of you , you all brought happiness into her life. I am a blessed man having her for a wife, a wife far more than I ever could have hoped for or ever deserved. By the way, duct tape does not help a broken heart, but your words telling me and my children how she may have helped you mean more to me than you could ever imagine.


 


thank you and GOD's Love be with you


Sincerly, Tom Gray … husband to Missey

Two more gray hairs? Blame the boy!

I have another ultrasound, dr. visit, and non-stress test today so I will update y'all this evening. 


 


So far things have been going well.  I've been getting plenty of rest (dh is very insistent on it!!) when I'm not running back and forth to either my dr. or the kids' dr!!  I had to take ds in to the dr. again yesterday because he had a nasty rash all over his body, HUGE red welps!  The dr. said it was hives but that he couldn't say what caused it.  He told me to give him Benadryl and to try to do a little detective work to see if we could figure out what he could have reacted to. We suspect it might have been the yellow dye in dd11's SpongeBob birthday cake, but we don't know that for sure yet.  He had also had a rash before that, but it was a different kind of rash so I'm thinking that we have more than one type of allergy going on here.  I'm thinking that the earlier rash may have been due to a different soap or shampoo that we had used briefly.  So now I'm only using a Cetaphil cleanser on Nathan until we get this all figured out.  Dh thinks he might have reacted to a different brand of wipees we used for awhile.  Oh, the joys of trying to figure it all out!  LOL!


 


But the good news is that ds' hives do look a bit better today.  And his lip is healing nicely.  Hmmm…..how many of these gray hairs can be attributed to THIS BOY?!!!  LOL!!


 


His dr. said (in a friendly, joking manner) that he was “really impressed” with the extent of the hives covering ds' body and I replied, “Yeah, this kid doesn't do anything halfway!”  He agreed and we shared a good stress-reducing laugh.  :-D

Well, I had a dr.'s appt. on Tuesday and he ordered another ultrasound so he could check on the placenta previa.  The ultrasound was done on Wednesday as well as a Non-Stress Test.  The placenta is completely blocking the cervix and the amniotic fluid is low.  So I've been put on bed rest.  He also ordered me to come in twice a week for Non-Stress Tests.  I have one scheduled for tomorrow.  He scheduled another ultrasound for next Wednesday as well as another NST.  Needless to say, not a whole of school got done this week.


 


The girls carried on somewhat with their independent seatwork (MUS, ETC, & handwriting), but I did not do any read-alouds or any individual lessons with them.  They have been helping me with the housework, cooking, taking care of the toddler, etc. so I have let them have plenty of free time to play outside (the weather's been nice!).


 


I think it would be nice if I had kept up at least one read-aloud but I just haven't felt up to even that this week.  Thankfully, the girls have spent plenty of time doing free reading of their own.  They've also done their Picture Study and Folk Song for this week.  And they've played educational computer games and watched videos.  And dd10 has kept up with her AO Year 4 readings.  She did that all on her own.  She got my binder out, looked up her reading assignments, and did them w/o me telling her to!  All in all, I think they've done enough “academics” for the week to still count this as a school week.  It's been more of an unschooling week, but at least I know their little brains are still being stimulated.  :-)


 


Oh, by the way, ds is supposed to get his stitches out tomorrow!  :-)
