We're Still Alive & Kicking

To anyone who may check this blog occasionally, I apologize for taking so long since my last post. Things have been crazier than normal in the last month, but we are all doing great and have been blessed beyond words. First, we finally sold our house. It was on the market for almost a year and we received our first offer which was for the full asking price (pretty rare in this market). We had to be out in 3 weeks so needless to say, we had to pack up the house and find somewhere to move very quickly.

My last post mentioned Kendal's upcoming overnight Sleep Study. I had taken Kendal to Vanderbilt at about 12:00 on a Wednesday and she saw several doctors that are associated with the Research Study. Before, the sleep study began, me and Kendal went to dinner with my aunt Kristy to try to unwind after such a long day. We had a great time visiting her and dreaded going back to start the study. After getting Kendal all wired up, the study began around 9:00pm. It was very upsetting for Kendal to be wrapped up like a mummy and have all these wires hanging off of her. It was really hard to deal with it by myself because I felt helpless. She did however manage to get through the night and we were both happy it was over.

So much has happened in the last several weeks that I hope to make several posts to feel you all in. However, we are leaving in the morning to go to Orlando. We will be participating in the Angelman Syndrome Biannual Conference this year. My parents will also be going with us to help with Kendal while me and James do some sessions. We are so blessed to have this opportunity and so thankful that God has continued to show us his love and grace.
