I always get slightly anxious when I take the kids away from all their doctors and specialists. The pharmacy and hospitals that we know. I remember when Sam was young I was terrified to go anywhere, and I kept begging God to take that fear from me, to allow us to be that “normal” family that goes on trips and vacations and makes wonderful memories together. I wanted to be that mom that planned these crazy adventures and had all kinds of crazy fun. Each year God is taking that anxiety and helping me to be brave. Now I know that HE will care for these turkeys of mine no matter where we are, and bonus here in the US they are able to easily get a hold of medical records if they are needed. Sorry, I know but that is the nurse brain in me. We had such a wonderful trip to Virginia this summer. We had so much fun together. We all spent a day together at Busch Gardens. We went with aunts and uncles and cousins, it was such a blast. I will be posting lots of memories from this summer as I try to journal it all….
