August to December

WOW I am really far behind. My blog has always been my journal/scrapbook. I know that makes me sound like a horrible mom this is all the documenting I am able to do for my kids. Anyways, continuing about Josh his pain didn't stop. We went from doctor after doctor to try to figure it out. Finally one of his doctor's decided to do a MRI on his back and we found out that at the hospital when they never moved him they had crushed the disc in his back. The only thing we could think is really??? This WHOLE time? Crushed disc? So it was back to out of work and back to the hospital and another surgery. Poor Josh. Seriously my husband is a champ the fact that he lived in so much pain and went through so much this year still staying strong and positive most of the time is amazing. Of  course we both had our break down moments. It was scary and hard and financially crippling. But we made it through. Not only did we make it through but together we got so so much stronger. We spent pretty much a whole year together non stop, 24-7, and we made it through not only without killing each other but we were closer and stronger through it all. He got to spend so much time with the kids like never before cause he's always worked SO much. He got to see them play sports and he lives for it just as much as I do. The back surgery was rough it was so painful. One week after when he should still be in bed he went to his sons football game. He couldn't miss it. Amazing dedicated daddy. There has been so much about this year that was hard but so many miracles that we've seen. It's brought out different sides of us. He went back to work the first week of December and has been doing really good ever since. We are still praying that the nerve damage the hospital caused comes back. But other than that Josh has come a LONG LONG way.
