J.Jay Playing Piano - And Pray For Me!
Hi all!
Pray for me! I am having serious pain in my back (where my spinal cord injury at T5) every time I take a good breath. This is the exact same spot that started hurting like this right before I became paralyzed last year. YIKES! It continued to hurt for months afterwards, but has not hurt in at least 4 months. Now the same pain is back. As a result I can only take shallow breaths (or else I see stars!) Pray it is just temporary and I don’t have any further complications.
Pray for Brittney also. She had to get her 4 wisdom teeth removed today and a root canal AND some other work. They put her “out” and it she was in surgery for over 3 hours! She is zonked (sleeping, that is) and has been since we got home, and they said she will probably sleep all day long. Pray all heals well and she is completely recovered by Sunday because Sunday is her birthday! She will be 17 and we have family coming over on Sunday to help us celebrate! 
Okay, now that we have this YouTube thing mastered, Greg uploaded an old video we took of J.Jay playing piano. This was done some time ago. He looks like an orphan (his clothes don’t even match!) and he doesn’t talk so we are going to do a new video of him playing soon. But, it’s a good video and shows what a gift God gave him in music! He is playing a short piece he composed himself.
That’s all for today, will check in again soon.

My husband, Greg, and I have been happily married for 25 years and we have homeschooled our kiddos since 1993. I have Multiple Sclerosis, 2 spinal cord injuries, Celiac Disease, ADHD, and more. In addition, three of our four children have major health issues including Celiac Disease, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, and Scoliosis. My hubby has Asperger's as well. Our two oldest are grown, one is a college graduate currently pursuing his master's, and our only daughter is a college freshman. We only have 2 kiddos left at home - our 13 year old son, and our baby (who is not a baby anymore!) our 7 year old son. My hearts desire is to encourage and minister to homeschool moms. My secondary ministry is to encourage, respect, and help lead kiddos and teenagers to Jesus Christ. I was paralyzed from the waist down in August of 2007 and by the grace of God am recovering wonderfully and can now walk again!! Miracles always abound in our family and God has shown Himself to be amazing and awesome. I use this blog to share from my experiences while trying to always be open and "real" as I deal with life’s difficulties on a daily basis all while still homeschooling, learning, writing, and very much enjoying life! God is my strength and my comfort. Whom shall I fear? Life is good.
