But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

New Beginnings

Well, it's been almost a yr. since I've blogged and so much has happened during this time. I went from 3 jobs to 2 jobs and then down to 1 job due to a lot of things going on in our lives. Right now I am "Director of Home Operations" which does keep me pretty busy for right now!
 
Over the past yr  I had been experiencing some problems with myself and ended up in the hospital to be checked for what they thought might have been a stroke....which was not the case but I begin to have lots of different symptoms and the doctors could not seem to figure out what was going on with me . So then all the test began and CAT scans, EKG test, ultrasounds , blood test, etc. Finally after doing so many test ,a colored CAT scan revealed that one of the problems that I was having was due to a tumor behind my left eye.
We all of course were concerned over this finding, but knew that if it was cancer or benign God still was in control and we had an awesome doctor as well . Surgery day came and with wonderful friends and family praying for us I felt pretty calm. The surgery was longer than originally thought due to the tendon and veins growing in and wrapped around the tumor. After it was complete and the tumor was removed the doctor let us know later that week that it was benign! We were so thankful and blessed that it was!
I am on the road to recovery although I do not see clearly yet through my left eye ( due to double vision and blurriness as well as my eye not being able to function quite like the other one yet)the doctor has given me 6 to 9 months full recovery! If my eye is not working correctly by that time I am looking at another surgery , which I am not wanting! So I pray that things will work out and the eye will heal and correct itself in time .
Are all my health related problems over.... No but one thing at a time like my doctor said and till then I am not going to fear the unknown but take one day at a time and enjoy life , my family , and children, aw well as breath in all the beauty that I see right now around me ! Everyday is a new day and life is precious so take it all in and treasure the moments that we do have!
