back to life

hello there, i am alive! last week we went to the beach for my family's annual vacation. i did not see too much of the beach, but it was nice to get out of my house.

caleb had fun being with all of his aunts, uncles and cousins!

since we have been home my little son has been going through a growth spurt wanting to eat as often as every hour...so it has been sort of a long week for me! today is better though! i think he may be back to every 2 1/2 -3 hours!

he is growing like crazy! we just started using size 1 diapers instead of newborns.

this week wes was wave-rider wes at bible school, i am sure the kids loved him in all of his silliness! one awesome thing of the week, my cousin's son, Aden, gave his life to Christ! it is such a reminder to me that we are told to have faith like a child. that even at the age of 7 we can know our precious Jesus and that He died on the cross to save ME!

what an awesome God we serve!

just some updated pics...

all praises to our God & King

God has heard our cry and answered with wonderful news..NO SURGERY!!!

The ultrasound showed the abscess to be small (about a centimeter) and the doctor said just keep up the antibiotics! What a huge relief! Thank you for your prayers!!!

say a little prayer for me

so its been a tough week (or so) WARNING this next part is not for the faint or weak stomached...
last friday the 20th, i noticed a redness on my left breast, since i had heard of mastitis (the inflammation of the parenchyma of the mammary gland) i looked it up on the internet and after self diagnosis and talking with the doctor, mastitis was the culprit. they put me on 10 day antibiotic and we thought that would do the trick...well yesterday instead of being better, it was worse :(

i went to the doctor today and she said it was abscess (bad news) so tomorrow i have to get an ultrasound to see if the abscess cavity is still there. if it is, i am going to have to have surgery-- ahhh!!! so i am asking for lots of prayers. pray for healing and that i will not have to have surgery!

as for our sweet angel boy, he is growing like crazy. i would not be surprised if he was already 8 pounds!

i will post pictures soon!

kisses
