It's been awhile since we posted last. Things have been good and bad in our life the past few weeks. We are finally rolling with our Middle Schoolers at church. We average between 6-10. We took 4 boys and 1 girl to Stevie B's Sunday after church..WHAT A DAY!!!! I guess I'm not used to being around boys as much..they don't stop..and they eat and eat and eat. Clay and I love each and everyone of them and are very excited to see what God's going to do in their life!
Today is an exciting day..we have been married for 10 months today! WOW..What a journey it has been. Fun,trying,tested,learning time it has been. I thank God for Clay and what kind of man and husband he is becoming. Sometimes its not easy..but those times got us where we are today!!!!
A lot of people have asked about my Grandmother. She is doing OK. She has a good day and then maybe a few bad days. Her speech is getting pretty slurred. She will call to talk and you cant understand anything she says. I know its hard on my Grandfather to try and understand her all day. Please pray for him..for mercy with her and strength to face everyday. If you have a chance please go to my grandmothers website, sign the guestbook just to let her know that's shes not forgotten about!!Here is the link to her page..!
Last Monday I woke up around 6:30 to get ready to head to work. When I stood up out of the bed..I was EXTREMELY dizzy. Like I had never been before. I have never been or care to be drunk in my life..but I was stumbling around and just really didn't know where I was. I took a shower and when I got our things were worse. So Clay and I decided that we should probably head to the ER. By now I was having a killer headache,nausea,and dizzy. So we packed up and headed to Athens Regional. About 2 hours later the ER Dr. diagnosed me with vertigo. Simply meaning being dizzy often. Which leads back to me having that very intense ear infection about 3 weeks ago. It cleared up but left fluid behind BOTH my ears. The fluid aggravates some nerve in my ear that goes to my brain. That one nerve controls your balance..the fluid was aggravating the nerve and telling my brain that I was spinning when my body knew I wasn't. Very weird!!!So he gave me some good meds and knocked me out M-W. I followed up with my Family Dr. Tuesday and he agreed. He gave me meds to take care of my new ear infection in my left ear. I am meeting with an ENT in a few weeks so that he can look deeper to FIX the problem..instead of just covering it up. I was out of work the whole week. Kelly (the mom of the twins)..was very very generous and understood that it was nothing I could do about the situation. I was great to be able to relax and get well instead of trying to play it off. I haven't had a really bad dizzy spell in a few days. So praise the Lord, I think I am healing. We will keep you posted on my ear issues!
I am back in full swing with the twins. I came back yesterday and about cried when I seen them. I missed them soooo much. When they saw me their faces lite up and they gave me huuge smiles!!! Sweet girls!
Mommy and Daddy Gillespie are going today to check on little Liam. Shes 20 weeks today. Doing great and growing everyday. He will be here before we know it. Continue to pray for Sara for the remaining weeks of the pregnancy for no complications. We started last week on Liams bedding. It is ADORABLE. Giraffe print..Red..and some polka dots. It is very difficult but we are soo proud of it. To by something custom made like this runs around $300. We are going to make it for approx $100. Huge savings!!!Here are a few pics..
FINISHED 1 Side of the bummer!!
Well I better run and go love on some precious babies. Have a great week..and remember..God didn't promise a smooth sailing but he did promise a smooth landing!!!!
