Life continues to go forward, even though Skeeter is in Mexico. Yesterday we finally got the carpet cleaned from when our basement was accidentally flooded. Today our carpet padding was replaced. I hope to get everything all back to "normal order" in the basement before Skeeter gets back. :)
Before Skeeter left for Mexico he had attempted making contact with our roofer who was supposed to take care of our repairs from the major hail storm last summer. Our repairs have still not been completed! :/ The roofer had hired a local man to come and finish the task, but when Skeeter hadn't heard from him in awhile, he asked the roofer about it. His response was that it was not a good relationship. So Skeeter proceeded to ask (via text) if he had considered getting a replacement. There was no response. So I called and actually got a hold of someone yesterday (working numbers have been quite a problem), and she said she would talk to the roofer and get back with me. So far I haven't heard anything, and will probably need to make another call if I don't hear anything soon. I am just so ready to get this all settled!
Anne had a physical last week! She hadn't been feeling very well so we talked over her symptoms with the doctor. Anne then had a bunch of blood work done. We got a call today saying that her insulin resistance test had come back abnormal and that she is PRE-DIABETIC! :( So she is to start a prescription to help her with all the extra insulin she has in her body (her pancreas is producing so much insulin that her body can't keep up with it). We are meeting with another doctor tomorrow to see what he says. I envision that there will definitely be dietary changes for the family as well as trying to put together a regular exercise routine. We pray that with all of the changes we need to make that we will have wisdom and that we can correct this issue before she develops diabetes. So thankful the doctor thought to run all the tests that she did so that this issue could be addressed.
With Skeeter being in Mexico, we no longer have daily contact with him. This has been especially difficult for the kids. Each child is handling it in their own way, but Adia seems to really be taking this hard. Every night before bed there are complaints of tummy aches and just not wanting to go to bed (that last part is fairly common).
Thank you for continuing to pray. As I've been telling the kids...sometimes we need to make sacrifices so that these children in Mexico can hear about Jesus. I am hoping to take the kids to the park to play and perhaps the water park. I am trying to think of ways to help keep them occupied so that they don't find time to argue! :/ We are so ready for Daddy to come back home....but not until he has finished in Mexico what God has called him to do!
