So much seems to be going on with so many people these days....I think we all need to slow down and remember what is important, at least I know I do. Deshawn and I are heading down to Dragonzwylde Ranch this weekend for a much needed break. I wish we could have gone down earlier and helped Heather and Julian clear our little camping space but making the one trip down there is about all we can fit in our budget these days.
Eden is still in the hospital but is doing well and has the best positive attitude! She and Sean are both handling this very well and I must say I am proud of them both.Eden is still having contractions off and on and is dilated to a 4. They have put an implant in her thigh that releases the medicine to stop contractions on a regular basis.She has had to have Magnesium a couple of times, which she hates and the babies don't seem to be too fond of either. Sean stays with her as often as he can,and I make as many trips to the hospital I can to see her.
I went today for a consultation for the Lap band. My insurance will not cover the surgery at all, so we are trying to come up with ways around that. Last year I was diagnosed with a small Hiatal hernia, if I still have the hernia I can get it fixed and the lap band at the same time and get the cost of the surgery cut in half because insurance will pay for hernia repair. This makes the total out of pocket 5,000 instead of 11,000. The financing I qualified for has payments of a little over 200 a month for the next 2 years. Deshawn and I are going to sit down tonight and see if thats possible for us. If it is I could have the lap band done before Thanksgiving! as far as my other health issues, we are still"Fact-Finding" for the MS, but my Doc is 90% sure that MS is the at the root of all my pain.I am trying to focus and feeling better and not dwell on feeling worse...so there you have it... please continue with the prayers for Eden and the Grandbabies!!

Brightest Blessings!
