Well, it has been almost a month since Matthew's surgery.  He is doing very well.  When we went back to Dr. Oliver for his follow up appointment he was about 90% healed and I imagine by now it is 99-100% healed. He hasn't complained much about his throat lately.  He complains about everything so if his throat was bothering him, I'm sure I would have heard about it. LOL  I love him but I guess he is just at that age.  Hormones are going crazy and he has got a big ol' attitude about everything.  But, we have seen some improvement since the surgery.  He is not quite as short tempered and when he does get mad, he can usually get over it alot quicker.  His focus is still not good.  He can't focus on school work to save his life! But, that may be most 12 year old boys!  The biggest problem we are having with him right now is focusing on school work and change.  He does not do well with change at all.  He never wants to leave the house, even to do fun stuff.  He would rather just stay at home.

Since this blog is not read by very many people, especially my coworkers, I will reveal what I am hoping will work out very soon.  We have been talking about how much Matthew is struggling with his school work still and how he really needs me to be home with him.  The only way we will be able to afford for me to stay home is if I bring in some kind of income.  Bryan suggested babysitting and the light bulb went off in my head.  So, I am looking into keeping kids at home (in home daycare is what they call it).  A friend of mine from church does this and I've been talking to her and getting some information.  A friend of mine has just had twins so I am waiting to hear back from her.  I may be keeping her babies at her house for a while before I start my daycare.  We are just praying about it and seeing how things work out.  Either way it will be great.  Matthew can go with me over there if I do that.  He won't like that as much, but it will be better with me there with him every day. 

We are still praying about what is happening with Bryan's position at church.  Our home church is possibly going to hire him as Associate Pastor/Youth Pastor but there are some other things going on that has put a hold on that decision.  Hopefully we will know in the next couple of weeks.  We are praying, praying, praying!  The Lord has looked out for us and carried us this far and I know He will continue if we stay faithful to Him.
