Long time no see...
Alright, so I know I told all of you about my new blog site, and one of these days I'll get it up and running to the point that I feel comfortable posting it. But for right now, I'm going to try to update this site. It's not fair for those of you who've come this far with us to just leave you hanging.
In stroke-related news, J.J. was approved for Social Security Disability in what has to be the fastest turnaround I've ever heard about. It took only about six weeks from the time he filed until he got his approval. He didn't even have a hearing. You have to be unable to work for at least five full months to get SSDI, so his first payment will be for the month of October, paid in November. In addition, both of our kids get benefits too until they are 18. So once November hits, all of that income will be only about $20 less than what J.J. was bringing home per month from his employment. Go figure. In the meantime, he's still waiting to hear back on the final decision from Voc. Rehab. Hopefully, he'll be starting school two weeks from today.
In kid-related news, everyone's doing well. The kids are enjoying their summer and are spending tons of time in the pool. We just got a puppy at the end of May, and they are having a blast taking care of Pete...when they're here, at least. They've been at my parents' house since last Saturday, except for one 24-hour period when Eli had 4-H play practice.
That's all I can write right now. Just wanted to let you know we're still around!
