Very Thankful

Well the surgery on my two year went fine. We check in at 6:30am and he went back for surgery at 7:50am. He was very goofy, they had given him some twilight medicine. He was reaching for things that weren't there. Trying to get off the hospital bed, and very floppy. But they took him back and said he was in good hands. He was back in surgery for about 30min. and then they called us and told us there are some precautions that we have to deal with but everything work out OK. We are so Thankful. Also my husband worked on my car this week and fixed the fuel pump, and it actually runs now. We are just glad that God has helped us go through this valley of trials. My spirits are lifted and blessed now. Unlike it was earlier this week. I believe with all my heart that God puts these kind of test in our lives to test our faith. Our faith my be strong in our eyes, but God knows us different. Just like the song "God will make this trail a blessing" though it sends me to my knees. God will be with us, he is always there. We may leave him or blame him for these trails. But he will be right there all the time. I am Very Thankful and Blessed to have God in my life.

No Luck

If there was no luck in the world there wouldn't be any luck for me and my husband. I went to a Jewelry Show last night and they asked us to name one good thing that has happened to you this week. I couldn't think of a single thing. The only thing that we have had this week so fair is bad luck. It all started Friday night, we decided to go out just me and my husband. We went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse than decided to play putt putt. Let me just say that was the fastest game of putt putt I ever played. The mosquitoes where very very bad. You couldn't do anything, just standing they would bit you. Than we woke up Saturday Morning. I overslept. We had a Yard Sale people where coming before we got everything uncovered. Than we went out to eat and my car broke down. Fuel Pump went out. We had to leave the car at the Restaurant and have my mom pick us up. The cost for the Fuel Pump was 240...Great Right...than we get a phone call from Carson Surgery Clinic we have to have at least 300...for the surgery. And you ask me what was the good thing that happen to us this week. I'm just laughing inside. No Luck. I pray very hard that the string of bad luck will end sooooooon. Especially tomorrow when he has his surgery. Wish us all luck.

When it Rains it Pours

Well it never fails, when it rains it pours. We went to the Ear Dr. for my son yesterday. He has to have surgery next week. He got tubes in his ears last year in March. The Dr. said the tubes would fall out in about six to nine months. Well we went back in March of this year, and the tubes are still in his ears. So the Dr. said he wanted to wait for couple more months and see if they are still in. We went yesterday those tubes are still in my little boy's ears. So we are now facing surgery to remove the tubes. Let me give you a rough update about my little boy. We got pregnant with him in March of 04. Excited because we had been trying to get pregnant for about a year. I was very depressed and down. I prayed to god and came to peace with it. That it was his will whether or not I was to have a child. Anyway I got pregnant, very excited in fact words could not describe the feeling me and my husband felt. It was a very smooth pregnancy, just a couple of minor heath problems. Then it happened. I was 8 months pregnant, when I went in for a normal ultrasound to see how big the baby was. The Dr. didn't like what he was seeing on the screen. The baby had fluid surround the bowels, and the kidney's where full of fluid. He said this was not good. But the heart and everything else was fine. He wanted me off my feet and very little movement. I was so very scared. But he wanted us to come back the next morning and take another look. So that's what we did. He didn't like the view again. So we all decided to have a C-Secion the next day. So November 23, 2004 at 7:30pm out came Carson Allen Roush. During this time I had family praying in Ar, Mo, In, Ms. I felt the prayers!! I really did. The prayers worked, we had things set up for if he needed to go to the children's hospital it was available. He was bad but not bad enough to send him away. I knew that he was going to be fine. So my son came out, everything on the outside was perfect. But on the inside. He has was is know as Hydronephrosi. It is dealing with the bladder and the kidney. The tube from the right kidney was not completely inserted in the bladder. So we had to take him to Labourers in Memphis. We went to a Dr that specialized in urology. My son was a month old when we had to place him on a board tied down from head to toe. So that he could have some test done. I knew this was to happen because we needed to know what was to happen. He told us we needed to surgery insert the tube. The Dr. wanted us to hold off until he got a little bigger to have the surgery. That sounded good right. The clause was he had to take a antibiotics and a steroid everyday for the first 10 months of his life. So we decided to have the operation on September 15, 2005. And the surgery took almost four hours. But the prayers keep coming, and again I felt peace. Since than
he has surgery to remove stints, surgery to put tubes in his ear, delt with Asama and allergies breathing treatments. And now he has to have an operation to remove the tubes. He is so worth it. Since we have had him, me and my husband have been truly blessed. We wish he didn't have to go through what he has been, but we are glad god chose us to be with this little bright boy.

My Husband

I have been married for eight years. And I have watch my husband grow into a wonderful person. I felt very sorry for him when we first got together, because he really didn't have a childhood. He was made to work at a very early age, and that was all he really new going up. He was not allowed to play sports or get involved with alot of actives in school. He went to school then came home and started working on a farm. His first real job was at 15yrs old. His parents where older and not able to work very much. So in order to get things that he would need in school or clothes, he was forced to work. He was working there when we got married at the age of 23. With him able to work, he was able to take out a loan to buy a house trailer for us to live in. Four years later he is now working for my dad (another story) and we have bought us a house. And where able to have a beautiful baby boy. With all the hours he puts in at working he doesn't get home very early. But for the last couple of weeks, he has made an appoint to come home early. Just last night he help me with some house hold chores and took care of our two year old. He has some good points and bad points. I really do get upset for the hours he puts in. But he provides us with everything we need. I sometimes wish he would be home to be with us all the time. Working is all he as ever known. I am truly blessed to have him as my husband. No matter what he does or who he is inside. I know he loves his family and would do anything for anyone at any time. That's just who my husband is. He is my best friend and my love for him runs very deep. He gives me whatever I need in life. Thank You God for sending him to me.

Laughing and Crying

It's been a few weeks now, since I have blog. Since then I have went to the lake with my family. It was such a crazy week. We laugh and cried. We laugh and caught up with each other's lives. We cried knowing that there was some very important people that couldn't be with us at the lake. My Grandfather who was the one who started the tradition of going to the lake. Was not able to be with us this year. We missed him so. There where moments where it was back to the old way's of camp at the lake. Old way's roughing it in tents and camper's. Other times it was our way of camping. In a cabin (our generation of camping). It was very weired, we are adults now. Making decisions on what to do and where to go. It was just a strange feeling. I was waiting on someone getting on to me for not doing something. We where not being told what to do, like it was when we where little kids. It was so worth going up to the lake. I got to catch up on what my family are doing with their lives. It was said when we all had to say goodbye. We all said we will try to get together for Christmas, but we know it's getting harder to do that with our own family's to take care of. I am very thankful that we where allowed a couple of day's to make some more memories for our family. Laughing or Crying we are still a Christian based family. That enjoy being together.
