I'm so blessed


I'm so very blessed no matter what the doctors say that may be medically wrong with me.  I get to enjoy my kids and my wonderful husband.

We stand as a united family and can go through and accomplish anything.  I am so blessed at the women they are becoming.  Learning how to cook and showing me that when they are ready to leave this mommy's nest that they will be ready to take care of themselves and that I have indeed gave them the tools to do it.

I enjoy waking up everyday next to my most handsome husband.  My best friend and my life partner... I'm so blessed to have him in my life.

I enjoy spending time with our family.   When all the kids are at the house it's just a complete joy.  Everyone enjoying each other playing games, having good food... and must not forget our beautiful grand babies... running and playing and having a great time... We love everyone whose in our lives and enjoy spending time with those who wish to spend time with us...

I am blessed because I get to see the sun everyday, the birds flying, the rain coming down.  I am so very blessed because I get to hear these sounds and smell the fresh cut grass or the fresh rain.  Nothing is more soothing than to be awoken by the sound of a bird singing..  

With so much to be blessed with ...how can I complain about all that's wrong with me medically.. I have a terrific family, great grand babies, and  the best husband any woman could ask for.

God Bless

Vitamin D Deficiency

Well found out that now I have a  Vitamin D deficiency.  So I have to take a vitamin d pill once a week for eight weeks then one capsule a month... But after the first eight weeks I have to go redo the lab work to see if my vitamin d level is going back up.  Mine is 20...they would like for it to be between 30-100.  So, it's not too too low but low enough that they are aware of it.  The doctors say that because of things such as calcium not being able to let my body absorb the vitamin d due to a reason as simple as me not getting enough calcium.. But, when drinking milk makes me sick to my stomach I tend to not drink it as much as I should.  I can't take a multivitamin due to it making me want to vomit.  so it's a one day at a time process.. it's the simple little things that we don't really think about until it's a "WOW really" moment.  The doctors say that eating things like fish and sunlight can help raise vitamin d levels.. There are other things also.. But, being raised in the South I told my husband that I should have enough vitamin d in my body to last a life time....lol.. But, I do know this for sure.... getting old sucks...lol... Thank God that he's going to get us through all these trying times...

The devil isn't going to win any battle against my family...

God Bless
