Sorry I haven't updated for a while, its been really busy since I got home from the hospital with doctor appointments, therapy and just trying to get our routine back to normal. I also got my my mom and I hooked on this game on facebook called Baking Life.
For a couple of weeks after I got discharged from rehab at Menorah, I had at-home therapy 3 times a week. A physical therapist and an occupational therapist came. From March 9th-17th my grandma came to stay with Mikey and I during the day while my mom took my brother to Mexico for his senior spring break trip...I wish I could of went, it would have been a nice break from all of this! LOL! Anyways, I had a great time with my grandma! We went shopping, out to eat, and hung out at home and played with Mikey!
Tuesday the 15th started out like any other day these few days had. John left for work around 6:30am. I got up around 8am when Mikey woke up. My grandma fed him breakfast while I drank some coffee. I began making gravy for biscuits and gravy around 9am, and here walks in John. I asked him what he was doing home already, thinking that he wasn't feeling well or he forgot something. He told us that he had lost his job that morning. I lost my cheerful mood in that instant. For a second my whole world came crashing down, the thoughts of what are we going to do, how are we going to pay our bills and pay or mortgage, let alone my medical bills?
As tears filled my eyes John came over gave me a hug and said it will be okay. After I calmed down a bit he told us how it all happened and the ridiculous reasons they gave him for letting him go. My sorrow became anger. I couldn't believe that they would do such a thing. John had worked there for almost 4 years and not to mention I had also worked there since 2007 before I was diagnosed with my brain tumor. I had been "let go" in November of 2010, because my FMLA ran out. So not only did they know about me, they knew me! They knew the struggles me and my family were going through.
I instantly felt like e-mailing the CEO of the company, it is a small company and he has the final say of everything, and giving him a piece of my mind. But I knew that angry e-mails and letters don't do any good, and it wouldn't get John his job back, as a matter of fact they can do the exact opposite. If it doesn't get you in trouble for other reasons, its not a very good Christian example. The only thing we could do about it is pray. God got me through my surgeries, he can get us through this too!
My grandma and had a few errands to run that day, so while Mikey was taking his morning nap John stayed home while filing for unemployment and working on his resume. My grandma and I went to the Great Mall because she wanted to go to a shoe store that was there. That store ended up being closed like 75% of the rest of the mall. Before we left the mall, my grandma treated me to getting a manicure at a nail salon there to help get my mind off things. While we were getting our nails done, John posted on facebook that he lost his job, so my grandma was getting call after call on her cell phone but she couldn't answer. When she was done she was able to answer and it was my aunt, and she was floored that John lost his job. I think if she lived here, she would have gone in there and gave them a piece of her mind! LOL! After we left we went to Target and then the drive thru at Chick-fil-a.
John has been doing a few odds and ends while looking for a job the last few days since he lost his job, so Mikey and I are still going to my moms house every morning. It was really nice outside a couple of days ago, so on Monday we walked down to the park that is a few blocks from my moms house and pushed Mikey in the baby swing for a while. He had so much fun! He did not want to stop swinging because he threw the biggest fit I have ever seen him throw when mom took him out of the swing! He even started crying after he was through throwing his fit!
Anyways John is looking for jobs and trying to perfect his resume. We know God will be faithful and help John find a job, and maybe one day this will be the best thing that happened to us because John will get a better job with better pay! God closed one door and he will most certainly open another!
