Today is the tenth Monthly Milestones of 2017 (I am posting this a day early because I will be at a Ladies' Retreat all day tomorrow and unable to do it then). If you want to share a milestone post, just leave a comment below with a link to your milestone post, and I'll pop over and visit it and leave a comment, and hopefully some of my other readers will, too. :) Normally, Monthly Milestones, where I will be giving you updates on how I am doing physically, mentally, etc., will go live on the first Saturday of every month, though sometimes I may be a day early or late depending on circumstances.
Here is how I am doing as of today:
2. I try to get out and walk as I can. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get as much walking in as I'd like. We've had a lot of illness, ER visits, surgery, and a other life happenings that have prevented me from doing that. I have been decently active with other things, but I would still like to get out more while the weather is behaving. We'll see how I do this month.
3. September and the beginning of this month have been insane for us. As I mentioned above, we've had some adventures recently!
Everyone in the family has had a vicious head cold at one point that seems to last forever (the worst of it is over in about 3 days or so, but then it takes about 2 weeks or longer to be essentially back to normal), and we've all had it about a week apart, so that's made things interesting. We are finally all on the mend in that regard, so that's good. :)
The beginning of September, our middle kid broke his collarbone, and then proceeded to have some form of allergic reaction a few days after that, possibly to ibuprofen. He is healing up nicely now, and is headed for an ibuprofen challenge with the allergist in November, so please pray for that. We also found out that he has scoliosis that isn't quite bad enough to treat, so we're keeping an eye on that, and hope to get his to a chiropractor after his collarbone is sufficiently healed in hopes that will correct some of it (all of it would be nice, too) or at least keep it from getting any worse. Prayers appreciated for wisdom and direction here, too. Thank you!
About 2 weeks ago, my husband either had a reaction to Augmentin that affected his heart or nearly had a heart attack. He spent the night in the hospital, and we praise the Lord that there was no damage to his heart or signs of an obvious heart issue. We still don't know for 100% what happened, but he is to avoid all Penicillin containing products (which is the ingredient in Augmentin that would have been the issue) from now on, and also we have to watch for any further issues with the heart. So far, he's been well, and I'm so grateful!
Yesterday, our oldest had surgery on both of his eyes to fix a strabismus issue that his glasses could no longer correct adequately. He is recovering well with the normal post-op issues which have included drainage and some double vision that should correct in time. Please pray that he continues to heal well and that the surgery will have been 100% successful (something we will only know in time). Thank you!

We still have a few other huge unspokens that I don't want to share the details of online, too. Just know that we covet your prayers right now. Thank you!
As you can see, it's been a wild ride, but God is good and has been so faithful! We are grateful for His protection and help with all of these things and then some.
4. I want to update the blogs soon, but life keeps getting in the way! I keep trying to get some recipes ready to post on Natural and Free, but I have yet to find the time. I have plans to attempt typing up those posts next weekend, but I have no idea if I'll be able to or not. We'll see if I can get those posts up sooner than later.
That's about it for now. How are you doing? Are you reaching your goals? Have you tried something new? Come up with a new recipe? I hope all is going well with you, and I hope you will leave a comment sharing your thoughts and/or milestones (with a link to your post, if you wish). As always, I wish you the best of luck in all you do, and hope you will return soon! :)
