When It Rains

I was thinking about the past year or so today after getting like 5 medical related bills and such in the mail.  And holy crow has it been a silly year for us.  I think the saying goes, "when it rains, it pours".  Between June 2011 and June 2012 we had the following medical fun to pay for.

- The birth of James and everything that goes with that (hospital, doctor, anesthesia, circumcision, etc.).

- I had my Gallbladder removed.  Was supposed to be outpatient, I stayed the night and had an Endoscopy the next day.

- Jameson had to get surgery for his toenails.  While not major, still painful and kind of expensive.  Also, they took forever to heal because of the next thing...

- Jameson got on Accutane and went to the dermo A LOT.

- James had his surgery to make him a 'real boy'

And I'm so glad that year is over.  Sometimes I'm amazed at how the Lord is blessing us.  We're having plenty of trials, but plenty of blessings too.  We had some financial assistance from the hospitals, which helped some.  All of us or now in proper working order, which is fabulous.  And we were blessed to have enough to pay for it, which really is a miracle.  But we should have it all paid off by the end of year.  And now I just pray that we are done with this for a long while, cause my savings account could use some lovin'.
