Today didn't start off as a very good day at all.......Colin & I had both taken off work because Corey had an appointment at King's Daughters Hospital this morning........He was referred there by his Dr. a couple of weeks ago......and I can tell you.......last night was a very sad & scary night for me.......so many thoughts and so many unknowns..............so many what if's.............when Corey went to bed I layed down with him because when I got home from work I could tell he was 'anxious' about today.........and I knew he would want to just talk........he tries to be so 'Big" and so brave but a mommy always knows...........we talked....and we talked....and we talked some more.........but after he finally went to sleep I couldn't bring myself to leave him........I sat on his bed just looking at him and found myself really wondering what kind of mama I am to him and what kind of teenager he'll be and what kind of man he will grow up to be..........
But.....I am SO HAPPY to say all the worrying was for nothing..........everything went fine this morning......he is as healthy as can be.........but I think it took a little scare for me to really put things in prospective AGAIN..........we all have so much to be thankful for...........sometimes I find myself really getting caught up in all the material things I would love to have for my family........and get a little jealous of what my friends have.........but at the end of the day.........I can always take a good look at all I have to be thankful for...........and find myself wondering how I can let myself get so caught up with such un-important things and let myself loose sight of what is really important.........and that is a Happy, Healthy family!
I hope you all had a Great April's Fool Day and didn't get too fooled by anyone........I have to admit Mandy really, REALLY got me with her Blog....Did you read it?

Missed you today...and I love your blog...I have been going through some things with kids and thought how is it? then I had a friend I confided in tell me about her troubles and compared to mine I thought...I was a BIG baby...It made me realize all I should be thankful for not only what kids do, but what they don't do as well. Thanks for sharing and I am so GLAD Corey's visit went well. See you tomorrow.
I too am glad Corey's visit was nothing but good news. I bet you didn't sleep at all last night. I don't know what his visit was for, but I can imagine how nervous you must have been. I'm really glad everything is ok!
Hi. I am so glad you had a good visit. I related to so much of what you just said, especially the worry part. I am a world-class worrier! I actually just found a therapist who is going to do a post for me on anti-worry techniques, probably next week.
I totally agree, we need to be happy with what we've got. It's easy to forget. I need to write that down on a little note and tape it to my computer.
Glad you are enjoying your new job, it is wonderful to hear that people are finding jobs now and finding jobs they ENJOY.
I'm SO glad Corey's doctor visit went well! God has blessed us one and all and like you, I'm so thankful!
I am so happy that Corey's appointment went well and all your worries were for nothing. What a blessing! It is hard to accept things sometimes, but there is always someone that is worse off than we are...sad, but true.
I am so happy that Corey's appt. went well. Yes, you are so right... We all have so much to be thankful for.
I am so glad everything went good with corey's appointment. Mark had to have an MRI a couple months ago and I was a mess. He has scoliosis real bad and it was to check to see if he had fibromitosis. Real scray. But, i was as lucky as you were and we just have to keep an eye on the scoliosis. It's nice to know someone else loves there little boy as much as I do. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad that everything was ok with Corey.
I missed you yesterday! I'm so glad Corey's visit went well! I was really getting nervous when I had not heard from you! I know exactly how you feel about putting things in perspective. I need to do the same.
So glad all went well with Corey's appt...I know exactly how you feel about worrying...I am a horrible WORRIER! I can only imagine how you felt as my little one has not arrived just yet BUT sure felt that worry in my 1st trimester when I tested positive for being a carrier of CF...thank goodness all that worrying ended up being for nothing.
