New Updates On The Family

Well all I decided to update this one as well since I was on Trinity's blog. Well starting off with Donny he did finally recieve a phone call from Rehab person saying that someone might be intrested in him for a full time job making really good money since the one of the people are retiring in a year so that will give him plenty of time to go to school, brush up on a few things and then go in for an interview possibly. So that is some good news. We are just playing the wait game for now. As for me I am just trying to keep my house clean and running after a toddler that won't stay still for 5 seconds. I am thinking about going to finish my GED this fall if finances are available for me to do so, and if Trinity stays out of the hospital. Vincent is starting school on the 7th of September (I can't wait!!) and got all the paperwork done for him today since they had a boundary change late last year. Trinity is being silly and being a regular toddler, gettting into her brothers room and tossing stuff around. Just recently she really loves to draw and decided to help Mommy decorate her wall with a pretty "washable" purple marker!! Oh it is beautiful let me tell you. So off I have to go with the bleach sometime today to clean my walls. Other than that nothing much going on here. Well ta ta for now!

Oh My! Time To Update This ...

Has been a long long time since I have written on this and so I am taking sometime to update everyone on what has been going on with our family. First with Donny he has finally been treated and gone through numerous shots of Cortozol and has been deemed "Medically Stationary" from his ruptured disk and is on limitations as to what he can do. He has been working with a SAIF Vocational Rehab person for them to retrain him so he can get a well paying job so we can get back on our feet. They offered to let him go to school pay for mileage, clothing, school books and possibly rent if he has to take courses in Medford. If he chooses to go down for a special school. He wants to take that route and go through that soon. Other than that who knows what else is coming our way. Vincent is looking to start school soon and get his supplies ect and I can not believe that he is starting the 5th grade.. *sigh* Time fly's by doesn't it! Trinity on the other hand has been having it rough for the past few weeks. She is trying to potty train and then she came down with some viral or staph infection (as of this time we do not know what it is) and I left at 8pm with her yesterday to Doernbechers (after I had called her PCP) and she had a 104.1 temp and bumps all over her hands face and legs. Her torso down to her bum looked like a sunburn and they still can't pinpoint it as to what it is so it was lab draws that morning ect and it is a defenate over the weekend stay minimum to find out what caused this. They are saying Chicken Pox or staph infection but still are not 100% sure. She is a warrior though getting poked 6x with in 24 hrs. Hanging in there though. As for me.. Started Weight Watchers in June and am doing so/so with it. Lost about 5.8 lbs in 6 weeks but I haven't been so called "religious" with it yet since money funds are very low and stressed out ect but it's coming off slowly but surely. Other than that just waiting on what the Good Lords plan is for us and doing a lot of praying and waiting. Well all hopefully I can start updating this daily if not at least weekly! Thanks for reading and hope to "blog" ya soon!

Sincerely,
