Still waiting for the phone to ring!

We still have not heard anything from Dr. Patel, so I am giving myself a little break from thinking about it - and am doing quite well most of the time. I am keeping busy at work trying to keep everything caught up in case we go to Charlotte sooner. I am trying to get rid of more and more "stuff" at home to simplify life! Less is more! I took my stuff to the consignment sale today and just hope none is left to come back! If so, it will go into the big yard sale we are planning! The boxes for that are stacking up downstairs. It feels good to keep on cleaning out. I just wonder when it will end...

Andrew still is not much better. He cannot run, and that is hard for him. He is taking Tamiflu, two antibiotics, Prednisone (steroids), inhalers, and all of his other medicine. He keeps on going to school, and that is good that he is able to do that. I just am disappointed for him that track is here now - and so is all of this sickness again! But he does have a great attitude in the face of frustration and disappointment. I am proud of him.

The other boys are good. Sam and Will play outside on the days that it is not raining. They go out right when we come home from school. It is so nice to see the grass! We love snow, but I think we all agree we have had enough this year!

I spoke to a class at Appalachian last night. They were very attentive and asked great questions. I was attempting to give them a parent's perspective that they may be able to use in their fields. In talking and going through a lot (but not all) of our struggles, I know we have come so far and see what God has done. Though we are still in the midst of something even right now, it helps to remember (as I talked to them) how scary some of those times were. And everything was okay.

Happy March! We are looking forward to the newness and hope that comes in the spring and at Easter.
