Becca_Anne Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi everyone. I've been gone such a long time. Had issues with the site and life just got in the way for awhile. My life has been a bit like season 47 and the writers are getting desperate for new material but things seem to be settling down a bit so it's time to come home. Missed all of you! 6 Quote Link to comment

Becca_Anne Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Thanks everyone! It's a bit overwhelming and a lot but here goes: Family is doing well for the most part now after a few years of some rough stuff. We had a really rough patch a few years ago and went to marriage counseling which helped a lot. Then my husband had sepsis last May and several surgeries so we feel very blessed to still have him with us. He has spent the last year just getting back up to his baseline and now walking 10000 steps daily. Still looking for a job 6 yrs out of the job market. It's depressing, but he's been working with the job source people and getting weekly help to try to get employed. Thank goodness I love my job and can financially support us. I have also had some health issues, went to the ER last fall with chest pain/abdominal pain and had a strange EKG that showed some abnormalities but not a heart attack. Saw cardiology and they are evaluating if I have Brugada Syndrome a rare potentially fatal genetic defect in the sodium channels of the heart. I have been undergoing tests and will be seeing a specialist in LA on May 4th to have the final testing to confirm if I do actually have the condition or not. If not then no worries, but if I do then I may need an implantable defibrillator and my kids will have to have annual EKG's to see if they are also at risk. Super scary but I have had enough time to process this that's I'm feeling quite calm about it. Still working full time. My oldest finished college awhile back and is living nearby with her boyfriend of 10 yrs and his mom and looking for a job. My oldest son is in his last year and a quarter of college and will finish up next spring with a degree in computer science. Middle son is taking his last GED test next friday and has 3 of the 4 completed. He wants to find a job as soon as he's done. So we are very excited about that. Next youngest is homeschooling 10th grade and Ben is in K this year and just turned 7. He's a handful but a joy. So busy and trying to get life back on track! 6 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thanks for the update Becca_Anne. Sounds like some rough patches there along the way but it seems like your family is on track and headed in the right direction. Prayers for your health! Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 So sweet to come in and see still another old friend posing an update. Becca_Anne, I have wondered how you are, and I'm sorry you have had difficulties and worries, but I'm happy to see your update. I continue to pray for everyone here, knowing God has each of us in His hands, so we can leave the details safely with Him. I can't seem to get the Emoticons to work for me tonight, but please consider yourself hugged and loved. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 1 hour ago, Cat said: I can't seem to get the Emoticons to work for me tonight, but please consider yourself hugged and loved. Sorry Cat, I was working on an update. It should be fine by now. Ok, I'll need to post an announcement, there are tons of new emoticons on the list, but our specialty ones are near the bottom of the list....... 1 Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 yeah, Annarchy. I near-to-panicked when I didn't see our old familiar ones. But FOUND them.....and will be looking over all the rest of them too. ?????? Hey....all my friends are represented....and the dog has the up-curled tail like Koa. [had to enlarge to see them tho!!!] MtRider 1 Quote Link to comment
Becca_Anne Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks Cat I can't tell you how much it means to me to get that hug from you ❤️ I have missed you all very much. I get on the plane tomorrow and my test is on Friday. I'd appreciate any prayers you all can send my way! 1 Quote Link to comment
Becca_Anne Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 It came back positive meaning I have it and will need genetic testing and a defibrillator. My kids will all need testing. I was so hopeful it would be negative. A bit overwhelmed and anxious but coping ok for now. 2 Quote Link to comment
