Our Days at Home

Ross completed his last day at RWA today!  It's bittersweet I think because he really enjoyed the job particularly in the beginning, but with the commute, the drastic change in benefits, and the extreme uncertainty of his job security, it just wasn't meant to be a long-term position for him apparently.  There was a computer delivered to our house today for him to start next week working for Larson from our home!  It's weird that he isn't going to be "going" to work anymore, at least for the near future.  Asher and I are looking forward to seeing more of him, as he'll be around for 1.5-2 more hours every day of Asher's waking time, which will be fantastic for all of us.  We are ready for this change and embrace it with grateful and excited hearts.  We will be forever grateful to RWA for providing what at least appeared to be the dream job that enabled us to make the HUGE move from IL to IN.  Without that position at RWA, I'm not sure we would have felt confident accepting the other offer (at a company that he turned down) to relocate our lives.  Here's to all things new! 

A small update healthwise for Asher and myself... we are taking him to the hospital on Monday (Ross is off and starts the new job Tuesday) for extensive blood work for iron and multiple food allergies.  We have a consultation appointment scheduled with a fantastic pediatric surgeon in very early March.  We could have gotten in with him sooner, but we would have had to travel further, so we decided to wait to see him at a closer hospital since he works out of that location one day a week.  Asher's pediatrician specifically said not to freak out about her recommendation for this consult and that he didn't need to see the surgeon right away, so we are trusting that it's non-emergent and are anxious to see what he says that first week of March when we see him.  Due to some extensive research on my part and a bit of an epiphany, I've made some connections that I think warrant follow up on with my Rheumatologist.  I'll be seeing her again next week instead of waiting for the 6 month follow up in April.  Please pray for our up-coming appointments, specifically that the respective doctors would LISTEN to what we have to say, that they would be willing to help, that they would have the insight to do so, and that there would be some sort of clarity or direction afterward.
