Since school has started things have been extremely busy. Josh has more homework than one person could dream up. 4th grade is very different from 3rd. He has homework in most subjects every day. Spelling has been bumped up a level or so too, with having to know the definitions of 10 out of 15 words. He must read 20 minutes a night. He has several homework pages in Math, Science and Social Studies and normally has a writing assignment too. It has been a rude awaking for all involved in the Davis house. I remember learning this stuff in like middle school not in the 4th grade! All this is going on while I am in chronic back pain. I have always, always had back pain. Recently it has gotten so bad that I literally could not take it any more and decided it was well past time to have the Doctor check it out. Jon was still laid off on the day of my first appointment-He met me there and we talked to the Dr. (who is a Christian) and discovered the need for x-rays. Well the x-rays told volumes about why I was in pain. I have mild scoliosis, moderate arthritis and a "twisted hip" which keeps everything out of alignment. I have started treatment, chiropratic adjustments and medication. If there isn't significant relief soon, then I will be forced to have injections in my back and an MRI. We are praying, praying, praying it does not come to that. Jon has been very sweet, praying with me, bringing me ice packs etc. I am feeling some better and we are praying and believing I will get a complete healing!! We serve a God that can still heal.
The little ones are doing well. Katelyn is making new friends as she has been promoted to the Older 4's class at school. Heston is in the older 2's now, I can't believe my baby is 2.5!! He is talking like crazy and is showing us just how smart he is-
Jon is also doing well. He is back to work and will start traveling out of town next week-for which I am not ready. He is pretty helpful, especially with the kids each night. He picks them up from daycare, starts dinner, and helps with the homework process, bath time etc. Now housework, not so much. However, right now I am under Dr.'s orders not to vacuum, sweep or mop-needless to say it is just not getting done!
That is about all the news I have from the Davis' for now. Oh, Josh is going on a little over night retreat with the children's department tomorrow and Saturday-now you have all been fully updated! take care and talk soon-
