Sunday Sums

The sickness seems to be finally waning around here. I felt alot better yesterday, but had zero energy. I had to run to HEB for milk, eggs, and more medicine yesterday morning, and was crashed on the couch for the rest of the afternoon. Kelly said he finally feels a little better this morning - his throat isn't killing him, and he slept well (I think partly due to the NyQuil I ran out and got yesterday). So hopefully another day of rest will get him off to work tomorrow.

Brynna and Aubrey haven't had a breathing treatment in over 24 hours, so they seem to be getting better as well. They are still having to finish up the round of oral steroids. Lauryn isn't coughing nearly as much, and her nose isn't needing to be wiped very much at all, so maybe the light is beginning to show at the end of the tunnel.

We have the sweetest church family ever! We have had dinner brought to us the last two nights - both of which were very yummy. Plus another another church member brought us breakfast yesterday! This has been such a blessing for us. With Kelly and I both feeling like death warmed over the last few days, we were running out of leftovers and easy meals that Kora could throw together. So a HUGE thank you to all of you who have helped us out. It's rough when mom and dad are both sick, as well as over half the kids. I joked to our pastor that we needed to put a big "Quarantined" sign on our door, as this stuff was nasty!

Really, other than that, I have nothing else to catch up on. With Kelly home from work most of the week, and the rest of us just home, we are starting to get a little cabin fever-ish now that we are on the mend a little. We will all be so glad to get back to a normal routine. And a clean house. One look at our kitchen will tell you that it has been in the hands of children for far too long...

Lord, thank you for this time of illness and rest you have brought to our family. Thank you that we were able to avoid the ER. Thank you that Kelly had the time off to take. Thank you for our wonderful church family who has been such a blessing to us. Help us to be a blessing to them when they need help. Help us to rest in your wisdom and plan for our lives.

Most of all, thank you most of all for coming and dying for our sick and dying souls.

Amen.
