Hello blogging world! It’s been awhile. I don’t know about you, but between the Eagles win, JT’s halftime show, the first glimpse of Solo: A Star Wars Story, and This Is Us, my emotions were all over the place last night. But I am SO happy for those Eagles!
These past few weeks have been a little on the busy side, and filled with doctors visits and difficulties for our little CLOVES warrior. Tessa has been having complications with infections in her groin area, where she has multiple malformations/cysts. She has had periods of extreme discomfort and pain, to the point where she wasn’t even able to move without crying in pain. Over the last few weeks she has had sclerotherapy, draining, and antibiotic shots working to get rid of the bacteria, and is now on oral antibiotics. She still has some pain, but just when I apply pressure to the area. She’s definitely feeling better, and will actually sit and play by herself, which is so wonderful to see after watching her cringe in pain every time I picked her up. Thank you for thinking of her and praying for her- we feel so indebted to those who consistently lift her (and our whole family) up in prayer!
Meanwhile, the bigger kids have been having some fun amidst the craziness and cold, including:
a bowling party for Claire and Max’s friend Lily,
ice skating on the river (yes, it’s frozen right to the bottom- and only a foot deep 😉)
some fun at the children’s museum,
and lots of time with Grammy, which we were ALL thankful for!
