Really?

Good morning to all~
Its early Friday morning and I am SO ready for a break from reality.  Ever have days where you think , "really? This was why I got out of bed this morning, I thought the day was going to be different."

Let's start with the car update...unfortunately the Mustang is totalled. The adjuster stopped counting when he reached over $12, 000 in damages.  I know  that it is just a car and I have maintained that from the get go. I am SO extremely happy Brandon is doing well and I am even MORE happy that Dominic was NOT in the car with him, because he was hit right where Dominic would have been in the car. On a side note, I need to get on my soap box and complain for two minutes!  The mustang was the car I was NEVER getting rid of! There is more sentimental value in that car than anything else, (for those who don't know, that was my graduation present for getting my Master's degree and was bought with that my mom left me when she died, so essentially for me that was the car my mom bought me)  I have really been going through a lot with this car thing because the car means so much to me and I know that it is silly because it is JUST a car, but it is what it means that is affecting me so much. So I guess I will ask for prayers to let go of my anger of the dumb little girl who hit my husband, crashed and totalled my car, and who is maintaining that she had a green light and accusing my husband of running a red.  What they don't know is that we have evidence that proves her light was red and that she ran a light that had been red for approximately 9 seconds before she crashed into Brandon. At this point, we wait and see. I think God is making sure I am relying on him and not trying to control everything myself, and I think I need to let him run the show here.

Since then, we have had some difficulties in the medical department too. A Dr's appointment that I have been waiting for since December was rescheduled for March, because the Dr. had to go out of town on an emergency. I understand that the Dr. had an emergency, but really March? I am waiting to figure out if I need surgery, this is kinda important! I guess I will have to wait, but this kinda stinks.  And then Brandon found out some bad news about his eye, which I won't post until I have talked it over with him and make sure it's ok to post...sorry. I don't think he has shared it with his parents yet and they read the post, so they need to talk to him first. Just pray that things get better, we have an appointment with a specialist next week for his eye.

I do have good news though....two if my clients have been accepted into a highly skilled feeding clinic in Orange County! This makes me very happy, because if there is new information or techniques to help my clients, then I want them to get it! Feeding can be tough,  but I have some of the coolest kids and I want them to eat and to give their parents that happiness.  So hooray for a hospital doing their job! 

Dominic is doing great....getting bigger everyday.  Our last Dr.'s appointment showed that he was 13.6  lbs and is in the 50th percentile for weight, 25 inches ( the 90th percentile for height), and his head was in the 25th percentile.  The Doctor stated he looked good. I like good news, I could use some of it right now!

That's the story right now. I hope each and everyone of you is doing well, and if you find yourself in a rough spot as we do right now, do what I am trying to do. I have to give everything to God because I can't handle all of this right now.  I know that some how, some way we will get through this tough time and that eventually God will show me the path that is supposed to done, so any and all prayers will be Greatly appreciated!!!!!

All my love,
Dawnnie
