It is so hard for me to believe I've neglected my blog this long. Well, I guess that is what happens when your life changes as much as mine has. Miss Mouse will have been with us for a year unofficially in February. Her official year will be in April when our license was finally finished.
We've been through more up and downs than anyone would ever believe. It is hard to believe we are approaching the adoption stretch...and that she has changed so much.
Our wonderful CPS worker is retiring and we will miss her greatly. Matt said she mentioned she is amazed at where we are at. She was afraid Miss Mouse was going to be unadoptable. And here we are, getting ready to finally start the process.
This is why I haven't posted any online pictures within the past year. They have all had to be disbursed through private email for Miss Mouse's protection. CPS still has orders of protection for her filed in the courts against certain individuals, despite the fact that she is just a small child. (Small child I say! Very tongue and cheek! She has grown like a weed in the past year!)
I have been told that no one would really recognize her because of how much she has grown. Not to mention the fact that people who don't know us well have no idea she isn't our biological child. I plan to keep it that way. Mousie doesn't correct them either. I get told she looks like me...and I'm just fine with that.
I have so much more on my mind but I'd best go to bed. I have visiting teaching early in the morning. Hopefully I can sleep. Between the Z-pack, prednisone, albutoral, and all the other meds the doctor has me on right now for my asthma and bronchitis I haven't been resting well at all. Then again, it only takes one REALLY bad asthma attack where you almost don't get to the inhaler to make things really complicated. That was last Saturday while Matt was off cleaning the church and I had a house full of little girls. It really does make one a little restless.
As soon I can get better and get rid of my vitamin D deficiency, my health should get a little more manageable. Who would think something like vitamin D could mess you up so badly? I haven't had asthma since I was little! My migraine doctor has me on 5,000 units of D3 a day.
When I was tested my level was at 12. Seventy is considered healthy. Only the good Lord knows why they just figured it out now, but I am grateful. Now is better than never. I can hardly wait to have a normal immune system again.
There is so much more to say, but now I really need to try to rest for a while. Maybe I'll update when I can't sleep during the day tomorrow! Way too much to do and who wants to be sick anyway?
