Family Update

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last logged in so there is a bit to tell you, hopefully you will not get to bored.
Let's start with Amber, she is doing great, recovering very well from her surgery and has been working out and losing weight, 26 pounds to be exact. She's happy and radiant like always. She's still running around house to house taking care of people in hospice and loves every minute of it.
Justin is on a see-saw these days, he had chosen to attend Southern Virginia University then along came Southwestern college upping the anti....lol so he is trying to decide what is best for him. We continue to pray for him to feel comfort in choosing the school he should attend. He and James are in Virginia right now, they will be home tomorrow night. They said Virginia is so beautiful and Justin says there is lots of animals, especially squires....he loves those! He is so silly. He sounds excited like he might choose that school but is upset that since it's sort of an Ivy league School he'll have to take four years of Spanish, he took two years in High school so he could get out of it in college, little did he know.
J.C. is doing great as well, his asthma has been totally under control since they put him on some anxiety meds, I don't think he's had an attack for over two weeks now, it's such a blessing! He is also moving out to Job corps sometime in May to be certified in Security/Investigation, he is really excited. He'll live at the dorm, they pay for all his food, health, clothes, uniforms, shoes, it's a wonderful program and we are so blessed he qualified!!!!!
James has still not found a job but we both have faith and trust in the Lord that he will continue to lead and guide us to where he needs James to be, it's just tough to be patient.
And ME, I'm doing ok.......I've been able to reduce my seizure meds from 3000MG to 2000MG, a big step forward. They've discovered I have gout throughout my body and I see the doctor for that next week to find out what we are going to do. The Meds for my feet pain seem to be working some so the doctor increased the amount and I should see more results in the next week or so, then hopefully I can exercise some. This healing has been a slow process and I'm so thankful for the many friends and family who help me through, especially my Mom and Husband, they have been my guardian Angels, never letting me out of sight. I've been blessed with many friend who come to my rescue and continue to still do, they know just when to call, I won't mention any names but they all know who they are. I Love all of you, thanks for your support and love through these trial times.
Oh Geez, now I have myself in tears....lol silly me.
Love,
Christine
