Even Superheros Get Sick.

Hello.  Just wanted to say that Presley and I haven't been feeling well.  I think she's almost over it but I'm still feeling very achy, extra tired, and I guess I won't bore you with the other symptoms.

So please send some extra prayers our way.
 
It always makes me nervous when I start feeling bad.  I hope it's just a virus but there's always the possibility of increased lupus activity.

Plus, lately I've been extra worried when I think about all of the major side-effects the Imuran I'm taking could potentially cause.  Really, really scary stuff.

Illness is always disheartening, but especially when one has been dealing with constant ailments for years and years.

Plus, a lot of things are coming up that require a lot of extra strength and energy.  (Halloween activities, Thomas having interviews, Brilyn's science project, etc.)  Even right now, as I type, I'm contemplating whether or not I should go to the girl's school's Diabetes Walk which starts at 1.  I don't feel good, my knees are weak, I look tired and I am tired but Caeli asked me to please make it if at all possible.  She was even excited to see that it's overcast, chilly and drizzly this morning because she knows that makes for good lupus weather.

My heart is tired and I'm sad about always having to force my body to do things that hurt.  But, the show must go on.

Please, please remember to keep or put me in your prayers.  I don't want to slip away into hard-core sickness again.  (Or any sickness but I'll take whatever scraps I can get.)

Love,
