Saw the surgeon

Well I got to see the surgeon today. Crazy as it seems I was really hoping I would be scheduling a shoulder repair today. Not so lucky. I found out that I have a tumor on my humerus bone called a Chrondoblastoma. This is a benign tumor so thank the Lord for that. I do have to have a bone scan on the 22nd to confirm the diagnosis. So no surgery to repair my rotator cuff that is torn in two places for now, we have to make sure this isn't cancer before they start cutting on me. The doc gave me more cortisone shots in my shoulder. These are VERY painful! I left so discouraged I just cried. I want the pain to go away so badly and now it just hurts worse and the plan is to focus on the tumor that is not causing me pain or harmful at this point! UGH!

Random Kid Updates:
Jarika is on a new medication that is wiping her out! She is so tired right now, it's concerning. Please pray for the doctors to find the right dose and medication for her!

Cooper sang at Breakfast with Santa on Saturday and the Junior Jays are so awesome! I love seeing him perform! One of his leaders, who happens to be our former librarian at school, stopped me the other day and said that if someone would have told her when Cooper was between the ages of 3-7 she NEVER would have believed that this child would EVER sing and perform the way he does! He has come so far! What's a little autism anyway???

Avery was really bummed on Friday. He had/got to take the challenge spelling word list and he forgot to study. The words were homophones so he missed his first spelling word in 2nd grade. I am so proud of him! He decided since he missed one his new goal will to be to only miss ONE spelling word in 2nd grade, isn't he awesome??

Addy said "Baby" the other day!! I can't believe I haven't blogged about that yet! I don't have it on video yet since that extra chromosome seems to impact her ability to perform on command, crazy huh? Also, we had to fire her babysitter on Friday. Things were going from bad to worse and it was time. Fortunately I found someone to keep her! She isn't staying here at home anymore but she is with a wonderful person and getting to play with another little boy too, who she is loving!

I'm gonna continue to watch our roads freeze and wait for a call to cancel school tomorrow! I would love to have a day at home to just hang with the kiddos, watch Christmas movies and drink hot chocolate. Anyone want to join me?
