Let's give this another try.

Well looking at the date of my last post shows that I am perhaps one of the worst bloggers ever! I am determined to give it another try though, so we will see. Just when I think things are as complicated as they can get BOOM, something else comes up. I know all things happen for a reason but I would not mind having a little time off every now and then.

Kyler started things off with his dog bite and following round of rabies shots. That was very scary for all of us, but I am thankful that it was not worse. Kyler handled the situation as well as can be expected and at least he is no longer afraid of shots. He is however afraid of stray dogs. Even dogs barking in the distance almost sends him in a panic. I pray that he will one day be able to overcome this and go on with his life.

My current "drama" is Tyson. On Memorial Day, while jumping on the trampoline with Kyler, Tyson broke his leg. As a parent you know by your child's cry, the severity of the situation. Tyson's scream was heart stopping for Ray and I. Then seeing his deformed leg showed the gravity of the situation. I did not have to rely on my EMT training to know that is was broke. It was obvious. He is doing well though and I am sure will take something away from all of this. Being in a cast for most of the summer is going to be a major bummer, but I keeping praying for fast healing so maybe he will be able to enjoy swimming and things sooner rather than later. Time will tell. He is very resilient and I have not no doubt he will handle everything just fine.

All in all things could be a lot worse at the Walls' house. Whenever I find myself slipping into self pity, I try to remind myself of that. Everyday I pray for strength to handle the day ahead and I know that God and a wonderful group of family and friends are there with me for each step. That is very comforting!
