Update: David and his girlfriend are expecting a baby boy April 23rd. He still has not been back to the Dr. since the last time I took him (8/09). He's back to smoking non-filter cigarettes and looks rough, but there is no telling what's going on inside his body.
It is VERY tough not knowing what's going on with David (medically)...but it is what it is. The kids go and visit with him just about every weekend (he has every other weekends in our divorce agreement, but of course I let them go as often as he will have them / can tolerate them). He gets very frustrated with the kids - having to repeat himself. The prosthesis does not fit in his mouth at all, and it's very difficult for anyone to understand what he's saying... He should have had another one two years ago, but refuses to go back to the Dr. .... Yes, he has insurance. It's beyond frustrating, but there is nothing I can do. Still learning I MUST let go. NO other choice but to let go...
I remarried on January 20, 2012. My brother's best friend (Scott). I've known him since my youngest was a baby. Such a sweet man. Very, very loving - and loves each one of my children as his own. God has been SO good to us. Regardless of what challenges and trials we face - God has been there every step of the way. For that, I am truly grateful.
I don't come here often - but please do friend me on Facebook
