Ok Well I have decided that good health through an entire year for my family is impossible. As is the lack of hospital visits, stays, or surgeries. I started my families new year off with a bang by getting the flu so severely I was in the hospital for re hydration and some medication to stop the vomiting. I then spent the whole next day in bed trying to recover while my poor husband, who had no sleep at all the night before due to my hospital run, tried to catch up on his sleep. My amazingly sweet sister was kind enough to take my kids for the day so that we could attempt to recover from the previous nights events. Meanwhile apparently my adorable son who has the sweetest personality and easiest going attitude ever was suffering from an ear infection, but due to the fact that he is not a complainer he never told anyone that his ear hurt. So this morning he awoke to an earful of blood and as it turns out has a massive ear infection and will probably be having to get tubes put in, yet again. But hey they do say third times a charm right? So while health might not be in abundance in our household the spirit of the lord is. It seems that Satan is trying to throw kinks into our lives. It seems we are always faced with challenges when trying to make the right choices, but the key is in noticing the obstacles and overcoming them together and growing as we do so. So I thank the lord this new year for blessing of my beautiful family and the gospel in our lives. May this new year bring many great things into your lives as well!!
