We've had quite the week. Last weekend (Memorial weekend) we found out that our car needs some transmission work which will cost $3,000, Eric's mom was bucked off a horse and in the hospital with 4 broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung, and his sister told us that her and her husband have decided to get divorced. Then on Tue. we took Amelia back to the eye specialist and he suggested that we get the steroid injections. I see her everyday so I hadn't realized how big it had gotten in just 3 weeks but it has doubled in size and he's worried that it is just going to get bigger. We asked about side effects and he said that it won't look very pretty for a couple of days and she'll be pretty fussy just like people who are on steroids anger easily. I thought, "Great, my little girl is going to have roid rage." They have to put her out also. We weren't too crazy about the idea of putting steroids into her body so we said we would think about it. We went home, prayed, slept on it, and talked about it and on Friday we made the appointment for July 15. The side effects only last a couple of days and when I started looking at her eye, I realized that it does cover half her eye and when she smiles, she looks like a pirate. I'm glad now we decided to do it because I went online and read about how it can cause lazy eye because the vision is impaired in that eye and gradually the brain will just stop trying to use that eye. Everything I read suggested that if there is hemangioma on the eye, that treatment should be done as soon as possible. So... that's that.
Now about our car. I'm mostly upset because we have some money that we were going to use on a cruise and now this has happened and we can say bye bye to that. We are debating right now on whether to fix it or try and get something new that will not break down. Our car does have over 100,000 miles on it so it would be nice to have something that I won't have to stress about breaking down. Well, it's bathtime and Mia is starting to fuss so I better go. Love ya all,
Britt

Awww, man! What a mess!!! I am so sorry, I feel so bad for all of your struggles :( We will keep praying for Mia. I will try and give you a call this week :) Just an FYI, we got our 04 Cavalier for about $7K (before our trade) and it had about 49,000 miles on it. The sucker gets GREAT gas mileage, and I can still squeeze 3 car seats in it...
Sounds like you have had a whirlwind of events the last week. I am sorry that so much has happened. We will keep you guys in prayer. I hope you are able to get it all worked out with the car.
