LQTS

LQTS (Long QT Syndrome). That is Christian's official diagnosis per the pediatrician. The ped's office set him an appointment with the cardiologist here locally (Dr. Harris) for Thursday at 1 p.m. Please pray for us during this time. I am not comfortable with the type of questions I am being asked. There are a lot of 'ifs' involved.

Dr. Visit

Christian went for his Renal Ultrasound today. It has been three years since his first one and today we once again received the 'All Clear'. I also picked up the results of the EKG done on the 9th of September as well as the lab reports. All of his labs were good. His EKG shows Prolonged QT . http://heartdisease.about.com/cs/arrhythmias/a/LQTS.htmThe EKG also showed Sinus rhythm with Premature atrial complexes http://heartdisease.about.com/od/palpitationsarrhythmias/a/PACs.htm Not exactly sure what all this means but we are waiting for an appointment with a cardiologist at Texas Children's.

ON

For today we are 'on'. The electricity returned around 11:15 last night.

Sadness

Yes or No

A simple on or off would be nice. You would think that was easy enough. Evidently not for Center Point Energy. As of 3:30 this morning we are officially back to no electricity. A slight rain blew a transformer and transformers are at the bottom of the list, so we must wait until all of the clean up is done and then Center Point will back track and fix transformers. On another note we did not have any food to spoil this time(:

Ike's Mess

On our way home
Cleaning up our small mess
Cleaning up the Cornelio's BIG mess
No one had any major damage. All our homes were fine.
God has been merciful to each and every one of us

Devotions

After everyone arrived (Sanchez, Guevara,Villarreal, Cornelio, Kelly, Forcado) we started having nightly devotions. This would take place around 7:30 nightly. Notice the visitor. We actually had another visitor on a different night but did not get a picture. Sunday morning we all drove in to Waco and went to church together.
My husband gave the devotions and he managed to put all these little ones to sleep all on the same night.

Activities

Just a few pictures of the kids (adults as well) having fun.

Evacuation

We are all fine and have already evacuated. We are stationed through the Red Cross at a resort near Temple, Texas. Freeport is predicted to get a direct hit. Please pray for the entire situation. Will post pictures at a later date.

Treats

This was our treat after the doctor visit. ICEES and Rock Candy!!!!! Yum Yum

PKD Update

Today was Nick's echo cardiogram. Other than seeing an unborn baby in the womb via ultrasound this was one of the neatest things I have ever seen. The human heart!!! We should have the results the early part of next week. Christian had his 12 year old check up today as well. We did blood work and an EKG. Those results are all in but..we were in Houston when they called so I have to call them back in the morning. Christian is also scheduled for an ultrasound on September 18th. That was our day in a nutshell.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

A VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY GREETING GOING OUT TO MY MOTHER!!!

BORN PAMELA JANE MATLOCK TO THE PARENTS OF DAVID AND WILMA MATLOCK. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU WITH MANY MORE YEARS AND WITH HIS GIFT OF SALVATION!!!

Baking Day

Saturday The Cabrera family came over and Catie and I spent the day baking. We had a lot of fun together. Veronica entertained Victoria. Christian, Raul Jr. and Nicholas played video games and shot BB guns. Mrs. Yolanda was kept laughing with Isaiah. So basiclly everyone had a partner. It is always fun that way.

Russsian Pianist

Saturday evening after all the baking and driving classes we went to our local college to attend a piano concert. This lady is wonderful. We saw her last year as well. Zoya Shuhatovich has performed throughout Europe and the United States. The concert featured works by Russian composers, including Skriabin, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich and Mussorgsky. Nicholas was able to get her autograph after the show. The concert was a nice way to end the day.

SEPTEMBER 6,2008

Twelve years ago today God saw fit to bless our family with a third son. Christian Kyle Sanchez was born on September 6, 1996 a few weeks before his actual due date. Christian has been a great blessing to our family. He is unlike the others in many ways. He is SPECIAL!!!! Christian is a very serious person about almost everything. He is a lot like my father and grand father in that he is alwyas piffering. We were saved when Christian was 4 months old so he knows no other life. He has made a profession of salvation. He is a hard worker and helps his dad mow. He has one yard of his own right now and is waiting for more. He is good about putting his yard mowing money in his savings accout. He loves to argue with his sister. (I think that is what keeps him going)
He would rather stay home than travel, would rather be outside than in. I thank God for giving us Christian and pray that he has a WONDERFUL 12th BIRTHDAY!!!!!

(He finally got his fajita plate from EL Toro)

Finally

OK.....so I finally took my children to the beach!!! Yeah for me!!!
We live very close to the ocean, however I have never enjoyed going. I seems to be such a hassle. I on the other hand enjoyed myself quite nicely today. As the children played in the pleasantly warm water I sat under a Cabana and read a book that I just started. We were at the beach for about three hours and it was very relaxing. I am now ready to sell our house (or just wait for a hurricane to take it) and buy a beach house in sunny Florida. NOT!!!! I have often told my husband that if he dies before I do and we are still fairly young that I and the children (that are still at home) will head for home....KENTUCKY!!! That is where all my family (with the exception of my mother but if I ever moved to Kentucky she would do the same) and support are. The day was nice as it was yesterday. We have had a few days of no humidity and it has been a real blessing. Tomorrow is our third son's birthday, he will be twelve. My husband has to take a drivers safety course in Houston from 1-5 p.m. It is job required so there is really no getting out of it and no one would trade him for the morning class. My mom is coming (her birthday is Sunday) so we will celebrate with her tomorrow. I think my husband is taking Christian to eat tonight. Christian has always begged us for his own plate of fajitas and tonight will be his night.
