What’s Cooking This Week

I’m getting mail again asking where we are and what we are doing.  I’ve been so bad about not keeping up! 

My craft this week has been apples.

Trish, our wonderful nurse went and picked apples for us.

So I’ve been peeling,

and cooking.  This was the second pot.  The first pot I cooked down to applesauce.  It turned out so YUMMY!  I store the cooked apples and applesauce in the freezer. 

Emily continues to have troubles and pain in her tummy.  Tests in the summer, after being hospitalized twice, showed that food moves very slowly through her system.   It got a little better after changing to another formula however now she’s having trouble with it again.  So on Tuesday she will have another test to see what is going on. 

The good news is the cyst that was on her right ovary is gone!  I am so thankful.  It was there for months, and continued to grow between the first two ultrasounds which were a month apart.  She had another ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and the Lord caused a miracle and now the cyst is gone! 

Grace has been up to her old tricks.  Last weekend the ADHD about drove me crazy.  Was it because I had a 2-day migraine or because she ate a whole “cheezy-bread” pizza by herself?  Her behavior lasted for a few days but by yesterday she seemed back to normal. So after a 3-day scissor-bender in which two afghans were turned into sleeping carpets for her Webkins (stuffed animals), and the mouse pad on her desk was turned into spaghetti (she just had to see what was inside the wrist support) I’ve hidden the scissors.

Thanks for sticking around, even when I am not good at posting new news.

And thanks for listening ~
