2015 was a year of loss, sadness, health problems, financial problems, and change.
I don't know if it is just me, but this year seemed hard for a lot of people. A lot of my friends seemed to have struggles as well.
Here is a recap of our year..
Right away, the year started out rough in January. My oldest turned 18, and relapsed with her anxiety and depression. She had struggled with it for years, and seemed to be getting better until the start of the year. She always seems to have a hard time during the winter months, it could be from the weather, her birthday, or some past memories that happened in January. Whatever it was, she started to struggle again, and tried to quit school. Luckily the school would not let her quit with just one semester to go, and had her start the work program instead of just taking some electives. My youngest had a bad asthma attack at school, which really increased her anxiety levels while at school as well. It is also around this time that her migraines started. (and are still occurring a year later) My son was dealing with some of his own school issues, and basically quit doing and turning in his homework. His grades really showed it as well. My daughter's mouse Oreo died, and she was so upset she wouldn't deal with it for three days. He was one of the original mice she got for Christmas seen in the post the unexpected surprise.
In February, the migraines continued. and my youngest started missing a lot of school We saw the pediatrician, who referred us to an ENT, who told us we needed to see the pediatric neurologist. My daughter's hedgehog died of a tumor that was probably cancerous.
