ROUGH Times

So the past couple of weeks have been really stressful and hard. For those of you who know me I have a little dog named Ginger. I have had her since she was about 6 or 7 months old. She is one of the best things God blessed me with..and I say that seriously. She was came to me around a time where I was feeling really lonely. She is my little angel. About two weeks ago she startled us one night by having a seizure. We were so scared we really didnt know it was a seizure at first. Since then she has had 2 more. I took her to the vet after the first one but the vet frightened me and I decided to wait to see if she had anymore. You see we had literally just moved into our new home and it has been said that dogs can go into depression. Also, seizures are common in small dogs. The only problem is Ginger has a Open Fontanel, which basically means her skull never fully fused and she has a pocket of fluid protecting it. I was concerened about this in the beginning but I was told by a vet that there really wasnt anything you could do other than put a helmet on her. So here we are frightened to death that something serious could be wrong with her. I am praying that it can be monitered on meds.

Sadly, this does not conclude our horrible 2 weeks. Jarreds mother has been in and out of the hospital for the last month. She has had terrible chest pain and then we found out she had blood clots in her lungs. So as if that was NOT enough to handle Jarreds Grandpa (his moms dad) tried to commit suicide on Thursday night. He shot himself in the chest with a hand gun and his wife came home to find him still breathing. He was medi flighted to OU medical center where he has been in ICU since that night. We have spent pretty much every day and night at the hospital. Lots of emotions. Right now he is critically stable but we just really dont know what will happen. Admist all this chaos I am 19 weeks pregnant this Wednesday and we find out the sex of the baby on Thursday. Its been so hard to even focus on being pregnant the past 2 weeks because I have been worrying about everyone else. I have had some uncomfortable pains and I am not sleeping well at night. Thankfully the nausea has seemed to back off a lot. I am praying that God brings peace to all these different situations and that we can find joy again in the things He has done for us. Easter Sunday was very hard on my husband. He is dealing with so many different emotions and right now what he feels is anger. I am praying for him that God gives him the peace he is needing right now and that we BOTH can lean on the promise that God is in control...always.
