And with a little luck and a whole lotta prayer can be in my future again someday. I hope!! come and see how Lyme has changed my world...but not dampened my spirit. my first new post will bring you up to speed on whats been happening. feel free to visit the older posts and see what life was like before. and trust me this blog doesnt do it justice. so much love in one family and their still is only one of the members is not tap dancing right now. that would be me! but we still despite the illness i have we live love and laugh. xoxo

summers almost over.......

I like to think we are like everyone esle and going into fall weather, but Florida is on hold. We are still in Hurricane season, so our fall actually starts After Nov. 1st. Thats officially the last day of Hurricane season. So, here we are in 100 degree weather yet. ouch. lol. The kids are back in school, which means Jimmy's teachers start coming back out. He adores them. :0) Mike is working fulltime and Amy starts college classes today, actually! Wow, huh? Where does the time go??? Amazing. Some other news...Over the summer we had a scare when my sisters boy Ravi was diagnosed with a brain tumor, in the same spot as Jimmy and Lori's was. He had it removed and is doing well. it was a rare benign tumor and they got it all. He will join the elete group of members of the club where you must be scanned once a year.........a club no-one really wants to join. But, we stay optimistic and pray for our kids daily....Then Hubby's nephew Tom died in an accident. He worked in construction and was killed when a beam hit him in the head..he was actually raced to the hosp. where they had him in a drug induced coma for 3 weeks and then he passed away suddenly. It was very sad. Jim and Mike flew to Michigan for the funeral. (For those who know our family...know this was Jim's sister Teri's boy). He left behind a wife and 3 kids. His funeral was amazing because he also happened to be a volunteer fireman and I dont have to tell you what their ceremonies look like. Simply moving. So, in a nutshell that was our summer. To End on a happier note. We had my sisters twins b-day party here yesterday. It was fun. Jimmy enjoyed everyone being here and was giving hugs and wanting everyone to kiss him. He'll get up close to your face with his and just wait there for you to kiss his cheek. too cute. Well, so long for now. Talk on ya all soon. Love, Lin N Crew~*

Jimmy having fun

Good Health Thank God~~**

Hi Everyone!!! Its been a little while since I posted. Jimmy's health has been on an all time HIGH! Im praying he stays well for a long time. His new med. he is on, its a mood stabilizer, has been working wonders. That and having his cavities fixed is really making him a happy camper. We'll be heading into summer soon............Last year was aweful with that stubborn ear infection that he winded up needing to have IV antibiotics for and also surgery, so we are hoping for a Healthy Jimmy this summer. Maybe we will get to enjoy some fun activities. Here's a few pics to keep you all entertained. And as always thank you soooooo much for checking in on us. Love, Lin N Crew~*

Hello everyone!! Happy Easter season. May God's gifts surround you. :0) We are settling into a semi-slower pace. Soon summer will be here and for us Floridians it means Hurricane season, which we ALL dred but prayer helps a great deal. So, we are praying for a season of NO HURRICANES! Last year was pretty good to us, so hopefully we will have a repeat of that. Otherwise things are moving along. Amy graduates this year so, we will be prom dress shopping. Yippeee Fun Fun!! lol. I am so happy she will be out of school finally! Then off to a local college and onto new endeavor's. Mike is doing well. He is in Automotive school and also working. (I love that all my cherubs are still living home.) Jimmy is staying well. He hated the rain we had last week. The house gets damp and I think the harware he has in his back hurts when its damp. A trip to Mickey D's usually cheers him up, so I think we'll do that today. Well, not much else happening so I will sign off for now. Much love to all and thanks for always visiting Jimmy's page. Talk soon. Lin N Crew~*

Hi A Family Birthday party!!

Hi Everyone. We (Mike, Amy and dad) got out to a family birthday party. It was for my great neice who turned 6. Jimmy stayed back with the respite Worker, Eva...who he just adores! He wasnt feeling to well, just seemed very tired yesterday and we decided it was better to have him here at home with Eva and his beloved Barney tapes. I (me...mom) dressed as a bunny and had all the kids searching for Eggs and candy all afternoon. There were about 6 young ones under the age of 7 there, so I thought it would be fun to dress up and fun it was. So, enjoy these pictures. lol. We sure know how to throw a party, huh?
