Sailing into 2016, Counting our Blessings

It has been quite a while since I last updated my blog and felt as though I needed to share with you all the latest on our little man. First of all, I am happy to report that in this instance no news is good news!! Praise be to God!!

Our little man is trucking along in Kindergarten, doing all the things that Kindergarteners do. I love our elementary school and all of the teachers and administration. They have surrounded Thomas with lots of love and support. He has some limitations set by his 504plan, but Thomas doesn't even notice at this point and that is a good thing.

Thomas also has started to take piano lessons, after he negotiated with our piano teacher. He so wanted to do like his brothers and in so many instances I have to say, 'no'. However, this was one of those times where I could say, 'yes'. He is so excited and has practiced all week. It is so silly how us mommies forget things when we aren't in the thick of it but after we signed him up I realized this is good for his fine motor skills and couldn't strengthen his hands. Take that low tone!! By the way, his handwriting is coming along nicely and looks better than his older brothers. Shhhh!

Most of Thomas' appointments are on a yearly check up rotation at this point. For the first time since he was born, I know where we are with all of his anomalies and we are stable. We will go back for a hearing check in the coming months to make sure those tubes are still in place and working properly, other than that we will see all of his specialists as the time arrives.

We are so grateful and blessed to have our energetic, happy Thomas and can enjoy just living life at this moment. These moments may be rare and we will not take misuse them.

Continued prayers for his stability and ease of pain. We praise our Lord for all he has done in Thomas' life and continues to do daily. Anyone who has the pleasure of meeting Thomas knows that God's light is shining around him and through him. We always thank God for all of the people he surrounds us with who lift us up in our time of need and don't forget us when we are silent. Our hope is that we can pray for you and lift you up at all times.

Until next time. . . . God Bless.

God will shake up your world! This shaking is to remove things that are not part of His plan and leave the things that are part of His plan for your life! Hebrews 12: 26–29
