I feel like my life has become a bad country western song. Don't get me wrong, I love country music. It's one of the genres I listen to most. But think back to when you were a kid and heard a really bad one. One that goes something like the dog died, my wife left, the farm foreclosed, (and think of someone who can't sing that is singing it) etc. - you get the picture. Three weeks ago, I came down with a sinus infection. I am still coughing from that one. Two weeks ago, Dawson caught a sinus infection, and the heater broke. This past weekend, David was outside playing with a friend and rolled his ankle. We went to the local medical clinic and they took an X-ray. Sure enough, he broke it, and right near the growth plate. The doctor said everything should heal well, but since it's near his growth plate we need to keep an eye on it as it might prevent that part of him from growing. The doctor assures me it is a small chance that will happen. All I could think of was, "Have you met my family?" Later, my pastor called to see how David was doing. He asked, "Would it be all right if I prayed that your family would have a dull 2011?" To which I practically screamed YES!
Thank God for good doctors and good health insurance. I wonder if the medical community has a frequen flyer program?

Geeze - you are beginning to sound like my family! Praying that you all get well and stay well and that David isn't in the small percentage category. I had to laugh at that one because Luke was given the ok to try foods made with peanut oil. The doctor said only a small percentage of peanut kids get a reaction from the oil. I said the same thing - have you met my family? We will be trying that type of food in the allergist's office.
You all are always in our thoughts and prayers. I am still going to bug you about taking a meal!

Wow! That is a lot to deal with at once. Praying for healing, for you all. I especially am praying for you guys this Christmas. I know it must be so hard this time of year. Love you guys!!!
Dave,
It is great to see that you posted! You and the boys are always on my mind. You never fail to make me laugh. Glad you are so real and open about your family! A month ago, we were going through a similar thing...every time we turned around, some one had strep. Amen to good DRs and health insurance.
Keep writing. We love you guys! Have a very Merry Christmas. Our prayers are with you.

I love that you're able to find humor in your circumstances, it makes life bearable when it seems impossible. Praying for all of Barb's boys...
Dave, David and Dawson....I hope your Country Song doesn't have more verses in 2011! Blessings to you and the boys as you approach this new year with hope, joy and good memories! Love Jim and Judy
