Ecclesiastes 2:18-26

18 I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22 What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 23 For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.

24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, 25 for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Wow, where do I begin....          We have been going 100 miles an hour it seems, life has really just been flying by. And it seems like every time I think about writing, something else happens. I don’t know about everyone else, but being a Mom is exhausting lol. Whew!!       Let’s start back in December, day after Christmas. Leeland had a scheduled hearing test, and it was determined he was unable to hear at a normal level. Right after that appointment (same day) he saw the ENT who determined leelands hearing issue was due to retained fluid in both ears. No infection, which meant he would need to get tubes placed to constantly drain both ears. Leeland has a speech delay which has also been a side effect of the fluid build up in both ears. So we set a surgery date in January for tubes and then a month after a retest for hearing.      January 15th came and Leeland did awesome in surgery. Almost immediately after...

Leeland Ezra

As some of you may know, Leeland was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Nuerofibromatosis (NF1)  at 6 months. At the time he presented with 1 side effect (at 6 months) he is now 3 and between the time when he was first diagnosed and now he has shown 6 new signs of NF1.  Here’s a little info on Nuerofibromatosis.  Nuerofibromatosis is caused by genetic defects that either are passed on by a parent or occur spontaneously at conception. The specific genes involved depends on the type of nuerofibromatosis. In this case neither my husband nor I carry the gene. And Leeland has NF1    NF1 gene is located on Chromosome 17 this gene produces a protein called nuerofibromin, that helps regulate cell growth. The mutated gene causes a loss of nuerofibromin, which allows cells to grow uncontrolled. What is NF1?  It’s a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue. —Brain —Spine —Nerves Tumors are usually benign, but can sometimes become ...
