We (as a family) are entering into our busiest time of the year. We will be living at the the ball park for the next few months!! As you probably already know, we wouldn't have it any other way! This year, not only will be at the local recreation fields, we will be spending a lot of time at the middle school field. We are so Happy and Proud to say that Jackson made the middle school baseball team! What an accomplishment for a 6th grader! Out of about 60 sixth graders that tried out for the team, only 5 players were kept! We are having a little bit of trouble adjusting to the getting home from school at 6:30 and still having to do all the nightly chores (especially homework), but hopefully we will get into a good routine soon!
Tristan will also start playing softball for a little recreational team within the next month. She's so excited and can't wait to start practicing. She asks Jose to go outside in the yard and throw with her every chance she gets! I think we have another ball player in the making!
My health is currently back on the right track, Thank God. The last couple of months have consisted of tests, tests and more tests, oh and a little blood work here and there. The Dr. has come to the conclusion that I had a blockage in my intestines back in November that caused me to get so sick. He believes the blockage occurred at the incision spot, in my colon, where I had my surgery 13 years ago. The latest test results did not indicate 'active' Crohn's disease in my intestines. Come to find out, after a long talk with the Dr., that Crohn 's Disease can only be detected and diagnosed when it is 'active' or if you are experiencing a flare up. So needless to say, I am still going to be treated for Crohn's Disease and stay on my medications. Which is fine by me!
Love to all,
