I have been rolling my ankle a couple to few times a year for the last 10 years. It’s never been really a big deal, just some ice, ibuprofen, and I’m back on my feet in a day or 2.

In May, I had a particular bad inversion while walking down the stairs with Teo… It was very awkwardly twisted, as my body shifted to protect Teo. I could tell this sprain was different. The pain reduced, but never really went away. I went to an orthopedic doctor, who ordered me custom shoe orthotics, and started me on physical therapy.

That was going fine for a few weeks, until my ankle rolled again. I never have had 2 inversions that close in time. I then had an MRI, and they identified several torn ligaments, tendon sprains, and effusions.

We are trying some physical therapy, but it is very likely that I will need to have re-constructive ankle surgery.

I feel so thankful for my stuff that I have now, while watching the news I”m in tears because I’m seeing children in Haiti having to loot for food while my daughter has plenty and is picky about what she wants to eat.  just hearing all these stories of the hardship going on in the world make me thankful for the things in life God has given to me!

I just wanted to also remind everyone to pray for the people in Haiti and also for the people who are traveling to help out there!  Lord Protect them in there time of need and may you bless everyone there.

Just in time for our family camping trip, at 89 days old, Mateo sprung his first tooth! We are in awe how fast we see him growing. Kirstie is feeding him his first serving of baby food as I type.
Bela is helping…

On the housing front, we just submitted an offer on a house that we REALLY like.  Given our track record with offers, we are not getting to hopefull, but the house has been on the market a while, and we are offering asking price, so we are cautiously optimistic…

We will let you know!

It’s been tough and kinda emotional  looking for house.  We keep putting offers in the house either gets a higher bid, not fha approved or already sold.   So I keep praying to God why not yet?  I really wanted to be in one before mateo came and that didn’t come… But God had a better plan!  ( we had the support when Mateo was in the hospital!)  And So I have come to realize God has the house  picked out for us already, We just need to be patient!   I’ve been reading some scripture’s that really ecoured that today!
“ IF you ask anything in my name I will do it.”  John 14:14

How encouraging especially since he calls for us to ask for anything, Nothing is to small or big!

So just keep praying that we don’t loose track that God has a plan for our home!

This past week my uncle from Scotland called up and gave us the news that my Grandpa(mom’s side) has lung cancer.  So far the doctors aren’t telling much, but they said that he can’t get any sort of treatment. 

So please pray for him that he doesn’t have to deal with too much pain. And also pray for my mom and myself, because it is so hard being stateside and not being able to go see him. 
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!
