so We went to get a routine head ultrasound at childrens on friday.......and then our family doctor called me back friday night to let me know that we needed to see a neurosurgeon....and the thought of it just sent me into this weird mood of anger...and just not knowing what to do.. I understand that God lets things happen for a reason..and I know that things happen so that he can have glory...but im starting to wonder when im just going to have an upswing of life going my way for a while....
the truth is....I have a ton of trouble staying in my faith when things like this happen....it makes me revert to the age old question of where is God in all of this....and why is this happening...what did I do wrong to make this happen...

soo we went to the neurosurgeon and he looked over her mri...and survey says.......she needs surgery.....I guess I just cant understand as a mom how im going to let her go under the knife...but they say that the pressure in her head is building...her ventricles are stable...but that doesnt mean they will be forever.  and without this surgery to relieve that pressure.......well I dont even want to think about that

I guess its just the thought of someone drilling into my baby's head and poking around that freaks me out.  They say this procedure is less invasive and has less chance of malfunction and infection than a shunt...but at the same time...my baby is going to have brain surgery..........and that seriously scares the poop out of me. 

so here i am......i feel like i could just break something..I guess im just not completely understanding why this has to happen with her.  She's amazing.....I guess there's always that haunting chance that I could lose her...I mean it is brain surgery...but people survive through worse...right????  They say that the survival rate is really high...but with any surgery.....there's always that risk.  Maybe I've seen one too many made-for-tv movies...

So I guess im trying to grasp onto whatever faith I have and at the same time wonder what in the world I can do to make her better...but there's the thing...there's nothing I can do...except just hold onto my faith...and we're talking like white knuckle hold on because there's nothing left to do. 

I sometimes wonder what I did before her...and I cant imagine life without her......

man

who'd have thought I would be spending my 25th birthday unpacking with my closest friends out of town....not this kid...but seriously though...zoe and nate are here and thats all that matters.  Our new house is amazing...just so much unpacking...we have an apple tree and deer come and eat from it...AMAZING...if only I could find some kitchen table chairs and a couch for the living room....hmm next adventure...  All of the furniture from our old living room went in the family room and we also picked up some bunk beds so if anyone wants to spend the night...you totally can...

Today has been kinda laid back just doing random little tasks...and in the process I checked my email...because today I was supposed to find out whether my step sister kelly is having a boy or a girl.....and in the process my step mom emailed me and I found out my other step sister is pregnant too!!!!!!!!  yay 2 stepsiters pregnant = 2 new cousins for zoe YAY!

Anyway back to work with me, I just thought I would update
HOORAY!!
Bye!

stupid teachers

**sigh** seriously.......Nate cant catch a break.......just pray that his teacher doesnt count having to go to the hospital with zoe for her mri and her birth against him so that he passes his class...I just dont understand how this junk always happens...his teacher allows 3 absences before she starts docking grades........and she sent him an email saying that theres not a way for him to pass so someone please just send a shout out to the man upstairs that his teacher is graceful.........the other 2 times his car broke down (which was also the homework deadline day) and it took 1 hour longer to cut his hair than normal because the girl had no clue what she was doing...........seriously every time it looks like theres a light at the end of the tunnel there is a cave in and we have to dig our way back out...so someone tell me when this gets fair again??
