| Alright, alright.Ooook. So, I'm posting. I give up. I give in. I give to you a post. (This is especially for you, Espie). I've been down in NC now for a little over four months. Shortly after I made the move, I got (supernaturally) hooked up with a recording studio in Lincolnton, Threshing Floor Audio. I intern out there about 30 hours a week, and also work PT at Anthropologie (just can't seem to get away from there). The internship is a BLESSING from God, as I wanted to go back to school for recording arts but there wasn't a local program. I'm learning SO much and I love it love it love it. I'll be a paid engineer when my skill set grows a little more, and work from the B room of the studio (along side another engineer from Charlotte). My dad. It's been a really long recovery for my dad. They told us that the recovery process for traumatic brain injuries is a "one step forward, one step backward" type of thing, and really, that's how it's been for him. Sometimes he's aware of things and people and sometimes he's not. Sometimes he remembers our names, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he's aware of what's going on and sometimes he's in his own made up world. They took the trach out yesterday, praise God. That, hopefully, will help him learn to talk easier. He still is on a feeding tube and doesn't have a lot of control on the left side of his body, but he is doing physical therapy and his muscles are getting stronger. He was moved home in the beginning of November, it was a hard transition for my step-mom, but her and her kids are handling it like troopers. The main prayer need, regarding dad, is that the calcium between his joints will stop growing. It's extremely painful for him to move his joints, which makes it impossible for him to work towards standing on his own or walking. If the calcium stops growing, they can do surgery on it and laser the clumps off. That would be nice for him. He also is very depressed. Also, for my family and I. It's sometimes easy to deal with. The holidays had it's emotional difficulties. I'm so grateful that he's here with us...but it's hard to see you dad like that. And it's hard to keep faith that he'll ever be back to normal. So--if you know Melissa (Tappy) Cormany--the baby is due next week. :) People having babies is strange. Your best friend having a baby is strange. (I'm sure I'll get over it, but it's just WEIRD). Oh yes, the boyfriend. (If you don't mention the boyfriend in a post THIS long, everyone will assume somethings happened). Well, nothing has happened. We're still happily dating. No wedding date, no ring. It's really great though...the Lord has watched over the timing of this relationship and I'm thankful. Over and out. |
