Sorry....It's been awhile!



Wow it's been an really longtime since I updated this blog.  I almost think there is no point in updating it since I'm sure I've lost readers! LOL  A lot has gone on in the past 2.5 years.  Ken's transplanted Kidney is great, he feels good, aside from the kidney cancer he was diagnosed with (in his old kidney) which he would have never known about without routine checkups for being a transplant patient.  We were told we need to let the growth grow larger to biopsy it correctly, so we wait.  Seems weird I know but we have faith in the Doctor Gods :)

My health has been crazy for a few years, I have suffered with losing iron in my body and they have tried to figure out why, since I'm down to 5, which by every Doctor that has seen me, can't believe I actually function.  Function isn't actually what I do, get up in the morning, go to work, then come home and crash.  I've lost many evenings and weekends to sleep and depression from it, but my husband has taught me to be a fighter and to keep pushing on regardless.  I only do what I can do these days, or have it.  I haven't been very social since organizing takes ever effort of my being to do so.  Yesterday I finally had my last test, an Endoscopy (my 3rd one in my life, haven't had one since May 2011), this test showed that I have large Gastric Polyps in my stomach.  Since your vitamins and minerals are absorbed after your stomach breaks down your food it might be that the polyps have been feeding on and breaking down the vitamins and minerals before they can be properly absorbed into my body.  I'm hoping after the biopsy results come back we are closer to a solution.  Praying for a good and simple outcome.

Megan, well where does one start.  She is an amazing, talented, genuine, caring daughter.  Love her to pieces.  She is working hard in school (Grade 10) and is looking forward to the end of this school year.  She's applied for jobs, which is very hard to come by, applied to at least 20 different places.  Something great will happen for her, I know it!  So the big "16" will be coming  around the corner before we know it.  We've been blessed with this girl, he spirit and positiveness is what helps our family be complete.

The sun is shining and it's cold outside, yes I said cold.....cold for June 9 anyway! But we keep our chins up, be positive, love life and each other..........there is no better feeling then to be positive!

Hoping to post more as time passes by!  We'll see ;)
