We are having such a busy time right now. Spring seems to be a time of not only the earth waking up, but us too. We will be attending several church meetings this month and also hosting our own. We are having our first Mission's Conference at the church my husband pastors, Old Paths Baptist Church. Our vacation is coming up too. Whew! Makes me tired thinking about it!
In all actuality, I am glad for the busyness. It helps me to put other things out of my mind for a little while. Since Ben is still young and not in need of devices or aids yet, such as a wheelchair, vent, etc, it is easy to forget sometimes that he has MD. In fact, in the 2 1/2 months that he has been on Deflazacort, he has been able to peddle a tricycle, RUN (pretty fast!), not fall as much, and in general he is just doing better all around. So, you see, right now it is somewhat easy to forget. I like not having to think about it. When I sit and truly ponder the future and what it holds for Ben, I get sad, scared, and weepy. It is not good for me or my family.
As for our vacation, we are going to a homeschool conference in Tennessee. It is set up like a ranch/cowboy town. The kids are so excited! (we are too ;o) ) It will be nice to get away for a time and just regroup as a family, while meeting other families too.
Today, we are going to my brother-in-law's house and celebrating my oldest daughters' birthday. She turned 16 this week...where has the time gone? A day of fun for everyone!
I think I'll keep the busyness for now.
