I cannot believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. But, it was good. We went to my oldest son's house. It was a really enjoyable day. Seems like it had been forever since we went anywhere for any length of time. Chris' girlfriend Angie cooked the turkey in her new kitchen. It was awesome. She was a little worried that it wouldn't turn out since her oven was new. They were so worried, they precooked a practice turkey!! My three sons were there as well as Angie's parents and her sister and two of her sister's children. Kady had fun and made a new friend. Except she was extremely tired!
We kind of miss having leftover turkey, so right now, Gary is cooking a turkey so we can have leftover turkey!!! Considering we have chicken 95% of the time... it is all good!!
I have three weeks left in my literature class. I have learned a lot, but I am looking forward to the Christmas break. I haven't registered for classes in the spring, but I will be doing that soon.
I am making a lot of Christmas presents. It is a nice break from studying.
We are still waiting to hear from Texas Children's hospital in Houston. I am hoping that no news is good news.
Later

Here it is.
It has been busy since May. I know I have thought about posting, but besides taking care of a still sick child, I am taking college classes on-line.
OK, maybe trying to study isn't always as easy as I thought it would be. And, sleep is really a problem for me right now, so I end up studying at really odd times. I haven't gotten my grades from last session, but I made an A (100) on my term paper, which is 15% of my grade, so I am really hoping and wishing and praying. My next class is starting on Monday and it's literature. I love to read and write, so I am really looking forward to this one.
I am going to take a bible class and a history class in the spring and I would really love to take a break in the summer. Then next fall, except for a math class, all my classes are psychology classes, which is my major.
On the home front, Kady is still suffering from extreme nausea. She has gastroparesis and a bunch of other stuff all meaning she is nauseous all the time. She takes something every four hours for nausea/vomiting and it really only helps the nausea. Waking up in the night is probably why sleep is an issue. Also, since I get sleepy during the day, drinking tea to wake me up then keeps me awake. Then, the cycle starts again. The good thing is that she now sets her own alarm to take medicine, so is maintaining an active part of taking her medicine. That helps me a lot. She had her friend come over yesterday and that seemed to make her not think about being sick, so she felt better, but got really tired. We don't get out a whole lot because we try to stay away from germs. Especially church and other activities like that are a real danger to her. She can't catch anything else because her immune system is really compromised so she catches anything she remotely gets near. We will be testing her system because we are attending a quincenera for one of her best friends tomorrow night. (Praying for no sick people there.)
We are trying to get Kady into Houston Childrens hospital to see the GI specialist there. Then, we are also trying to get into a rheumatologist from Houston for her neck. We still feel like it is the veges nerve that is causing the problems.
Trying to keep up with everything, including this blog in the future.
