You have such a positive attitude and that will help so much. It's so hard when your husband can't help. My husband had to have back surgery and we have a family friend who is a neurosurgeon do it and he has been so much better since then. I hope it won't resort to surgery for your husband but I understand your pain! Hang in there and enjoy every special moment with your kids these next few day!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04413246109493938457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-493075560476704502014-12-20T09:37:11.340-08:002014-12-20T09:37:11.340-08:00Long time reader but can't remember if I'v...Long time reader but can't remember if I've ever commented.

For some reason I went on your blog today and saw this post. Just want to share I went through a very similar thing w my husband. He's had back/ leg sciatic pain for years and it came on full force last year, whe I was pregnant and we were just getting ready to put our house on the market. There was so much going on in our life I was in tears often too. Anyway just wanted you to know that after multiple injections (&trips to the ER for pain) and taking care of him in my hot mess of a pregnant state, he opted for surgery. He now says it's the best thing he ever did. Back surgery has come a long way- he feels like a new man. You walk out of the hospital same day or next day feeling great. Recovery is not that bad. So if he goes that route, don't be too scared- it really does wonders. Especially for long term relief and quality of life. Good luck and merry christmas to you!!

I hope it's similar for France's Moon, I'm sure it will be. She's BTW TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. My daughter we brush daily and had 5 cavities by the age of 5 so I feel your pain. My heart goes out to you having a husband laid up is the worst I'm sure. I've heard great things about acupuncture and not sure if chropractic care is an option, maybe worth a shot. All the best to you and your family!! xoJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374416573869185467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-24288552209258472592014-12-18T16:43:39.332-08:002014-12-18T16:43:39.332-08:00Natalie - hang in there!

But the WORRY is enough to drive any mother mad. My daughter is currently in the same situation as your little man, and she's just turned 3. They found 2 totally abscessed/rotted molars in her mouth, and 4 other cavities. They told us some kids are genetically prone to having a ton of cavities - that it's something they're born with and that it rarely affects their adult teeth. We do brush her teeth a lot more/better now,as well as limit how often she snacks (she's a big grazer/snacker) but know that it may not just be an oral hygiene issue and you are NOT a bad parent because your kid is prone to cavities!!! We are hanging tight - 4 dentist visits in the last 2 months, and 2-3 more in the New Year. Luckily kids are super resilient.<br /><br />Hold tight, and try to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. Hope all of you are feeling better in the New Year!Melissa Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573268816463127933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-84566685155390061702014-12-18T16:15:57.483-08:002014-12-18T16:15:57.483-08:00PS.

I continue to see a trainer just for a strong core and my back pain. Just wanted to know there may be other options than surgery and that it will get better!

For your Husband - been there! It's been a little over 3 years. He had a couple of those nerve blocker injections but they just temporarily and only partially masked the problem. He ended up having a herniated disk and finally had surgery. It's not an easy recovery and he still struggles with some level of pain from time to time but at least he can function and deal with it now. My kids were 3 and barely 2 at the time. It sucks but whatever happens, you can do it! I'll pray for your family and worries. God is good all the time. May you find rest and peace in His presence.
