Deaf awareness month

 

Update on our family

 So much to tell so I’ll go fast.  My oldest son graduated and went straight to the Marines and made it! He just reenlisted, got married, and they are currently pregnant with my first grand baby.  Nate graduated, has a job and has a beautiful little girlfriend.  Josh has torn both biceps this year and has had 2 surgeries.   I personally have had my gall bladder removed due to stones and my thyroid removed due to a cancerous nodule. 

It’s been hard but each day flies by.  We are doing better now… recovering and I’m dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck that’s causing my right arm to stay numb and tingling. Keep us in your prayers, We truly appreciate them all.   We also had a tornado hit 3 houses away from us and it tore up so many people houses.  So sad :(. 

So my husband was working at a roofing job when another man jumped on his board and both of them went 30 foot to the ground.  It messed my hubby up bad but we can’t let that define our lives.  We will keep fighting, keep fighting.

Also there’s pictures of some of my plants that were my Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers! And my animals I’ve rescued along the way. 

Nathaniel has graduated high school

 Something in my brain told me to remember about this blog site!  I found out!! It’s been since 4th grade since I’ve wrote. In here so here we go.  Nathaniel has done excellent with his cochlear implants.  All throughout school he had speech therapy and vocabulary and a language specialist that pulled him out of class for an hour a day.  By the time Nate hit his Junior year, he asked that we be done with speech because it was interfering with his class and he was missing important information while being taken out of class.  We had a meeting and all agreed.  

Nathaniel went to the Area Tech and got his diploma in all in the areas he studied.  He has always been great with his hands.  You take one sense away and other senses get stronger.  His strong skill is definitely motor skills. He can jump on a bike, motor cycle, car, semi, etc and it’s like he’s a natural. 

Nathaniel met his now amazing girlfriend after high school. She is super friendly and pretty and I couldn’t be happier for him.  He has a job and has had one for almost a year now at the car wash. 

Nathaniel I am so proud of you!!! Keep up the hard work and you will go far!!
