Updates

We are "supposed" to be moved out of this house in one week...

Here is where we stand:

We haven't found somewhere else to live yet! Every time we think we may be getting close to something, it falls through. This is quite a journey in trust, reliance, vulnerability,and patience.
The last of which, by the way, has been running kind of short with some of us here this week! :P
It is just hard to function on a day-to-day basis, not having an idea of what may happen next.

I think the thing that is most frightening to my parents(and, myself!), is just knowing that someone else in the family could come down(well, I guess its more of a surfacing thing. Because probably we're allot more "sick"(immune system wise) then we can even "see" right now.)with something at any moment. And that is just scary. Why this has all happened, I may never fully...
But, what I do know for now is that we are sick(Sethers, especially!), and that this house is toxic, and that we cannot afford to outright buy another house to live in, and that we haven't in our searching been able to find anything that seems "right"(size, condition,price) to rent, and that I should stop writing before I get to blue :P

So Friends,...please pray for us, and please keep keeping your eyes, ears & hearts open, as will we! Because I have a feeling(ok, I know), that this week will fly by WAY to quickly!

Thanks, Friends!

Update!

Alrighty, so it is definitely time for an update! I have been wanting to get to this, but life has, of course, been a little bit crazy!

We have seen some really good improvement in Seth since he came home from the hospital; when last we checked he has gained 14 pounds! Yay! This is so good, because even though we in the family became used to to, Seth had lost so much weight (he was seriously skin & bones!), due to his body working so hard to compensate for the unknown type 1 Diabetes.

So, that is pretty much a huge praise :)

On the flipside though, the mold still continues to grow and affect us all.

Due to the increasing mold buildup in the "little boys" (LOL, can't hardly call them that anymore!) room, they have all been transferred to the living room (actually, we already had Seth out there anyway!). So, this means 4 boys (and all their "stuff"!) sleeping out in our living room at nights...yeah, this makes for some fun if you are trying to scramble to the bathroom in the dark at night! :P

All three of the bedrooms on "that side of the house" (as we refer to it), are just getting worse. Basically, no one spends any more time in there then they have to, because the mold will just make you nauseous :P

The "girls' room" is accumulating more mold, though is it on the opposite side of the house from where the fire was, and it is effecting us with headaches and very painful stomach aches. Victoria, the youngest, has been having torturous stomach pains, throwing up and headaches... poor sweetie! All this to say that it is still very crucial that we find a real home where we can all try to build our immune systems back up and press on to higher heights in life. Thank you to those who have been uplifting us in your prayers, we are very grateful!

God bless,
