Hi Again.

Happy Birthday Caeli!

Hello.

Sorry it's been so long since the last post.  A lot has happened!

Let's start with Thanksgiving:  I came home after a nice long meal at my parent's house, tucked the kids in, and then got struck down by a sudden fever, chills, and repetitive projectile vomiting/peeing in my pants at the same time.  It was sad.

The next day I thought I was all better but then it returned in the night again just like the day before and it's been that way ever since except I no longer have the days when I think I'm all better because I feel pretty lousy all day.  (Sore skin, upset stomach that screams at me when I try to eat, on and off chills and I know that the best part is yet to come later in the day just when I think I've escaped from the ugly grip of whatever this is.)

I guess it's not the flu since I haven't been coughing and there hasn't been any congestion but I don't know.  I just want it to be over with.

I was sick on Caeli's birthday.  I stayed in bed all day while Thomas did all the things I was looking forward to.

The good news is that I haven't thrown up in a few days, the bad news is that I feel like I'm about to at any moment and sometimes have to somehow stop myself by holding my head up and begging God for mercy.

I am thankful that this isn't lupus related.  Having a normal-person sickness if a nice luxury but it's still very hard and I still need lots of prayers.

I'm going to see my neuphrologist tomorrow so I'll be able to tell him all about it while he shakes his head at me because that's what he always does.  Hmmmmm......

So please pray for me and of course I'll keep praying for you.

Jesus, I trust in you.
