It has been a long time

I can't believe how long it has been since I have updated.  I am happy to say that I got a new job I am still going to be doing reading programs but at a different school, I will now be working at West Jordan Elementary, the school the Braxton goes to I am hoping that this will help him be able to go to school a lot more and not be sick so much from leaving Jaren.

I can't believe school is about to start again, RaKelle will be in 10th grade and she starts High School this year!! I am a little nervous for her but I know she will do great, she is working on getting her Learner's permit and she is loving the driving experience.  I am honestly looking forward to when she will get her license, because I won't have to be the only driver anymore.

Ashlyn is about to start 8th grade and is very excited.  She has some really good classes and some good friends that she can't wait to hang out with again this year.  She loves school, which is so different for her she hated elementary but she loves middle school hopefully this year will be the same and she will love it!!

Braxton is starting the 5th grade and at back to school night we found out that my office is right next to his classroom and he is worried about that but I told him if he was good and obeyed the rules he has nothing to worry about.

Jaren will be home alone again in the mornings while I am at work, I am a little worried how he is going to react the first couple weeks change is really hard on him.  He has been declining quite a bit this summer, not just his memory but he doesn't want to eat, his stomach hurts all the time which is making his diabetes crazy, his A1C which is a 3 month blood sugar average was 6.8 which normal people is perfect but for him it is scary it means he is having a lot of low blood sugars that we are not aware of.  He has lost 20 pounds in about 8 months.  I made an appointment with the GI doctor but he didn't have any openings until September 8, so we have to wait until then.  Hopefully we can get some answers or maybe some other options to help him get the nutrition that he needs.  His memory is getting a lot worse and the pain in his body is almost unbearable, sometimes he can't even feel his feet and can't get out of bed, he said his stomach pain is like the Neuropathy in his hands and feet so I am not sure if there are nerves in the stomach that are being attacked that make his stomach hurt.  I pray every night that he will be able to handle being home alone while I am working because I don't have a choice on the matter I have to work to keep us afloat.  I am working on getting his aid to come in the morning while I am gone so that he isn't alone the entire time.
