This is short because I have a toddler who won't nap and isn't doing well sleeping his regular 12+ hour nights (he's being IMPOSSIBLE lately!), a college class now in session full of undergraduate students requiring my undivided attention this term, and a husband still unable to even get up and walk to the bathroom unattended. Life's a little challenging logistically here! BUT.... so many of you have been faithful in asking us about how Dan's surgery affects his deployment.
The news - current as of today - is that this deployment is postponed for Dan. We are incredibly happy about that but still holding our breath. NOTHING is certain in the military till you are either on or not on a flight! But since Dan is still so immobile and still in so much pain, his commander made the decision to hold off sending him just yet. That doesn't mean he is "in the clear" but for now, he's safely home in Louisiana recovering from a pretty serious bit of surgery. We are thankful.
Thank you to ALL of you who sent cards and birthday wishes a month in advance. I assure you that each of them are being placed into the scrapbook that will accompany him on his inevitable future (soon) deployment. Dan's number is up so we are just waiting to hear the "where" and "when" because he's long overdue to go overseas. But, at least it isn't Afghanistan with the Army at this point. I will take anything over that.
Thanks again, we love you all and your prayers are still needed. We are an active duty military family continuing to go through a lot at this point in our lives. Your prayers are always encouraged and of course, I will continue to keep you updated.
On another note, here are some beautiful pictures of our impossible 20 month old. He is loving this fall weather here in Louisiana!
