Didn’t your mother ever tell you that things would look better in the morning? 

It’s morning for us now, and we are so relieved that Nathaniel is out of the hospital and feeling good, that our lease is signed and secure, and that we are all okay.  What a week.  Thank you for all of your prayers and support and love and we are just sooo excited to get on with our happy life!

Okay, so now that the house is totally secure and officially ours (we can start moving in on Saturday), I’ll dish a little about the house:

3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a good sized den/office...

get worse.  A lot worse.

These past few days I have spent most of my time in Escondido’s one and only hospital visiting my huband and trying to keep him from going crazy.  On Monday, Nathaniel went to the doctor to have his hand looked at again.  The large line running up his arm towards his lymphnodes was a concern for us all, and the doctor said that if it were him or his son, he’d tell Nathaniel to go to the ER.  So, we headed to the ER at 4:30pm, fully expecting to be home in time for a late dinner, or at least the kid’s bedtime.  At 9:00pm, Nathaniel was admitted, and at 10:30 the kids and I went home, alone.

It is good that he’s there, I mean, not for us, but for him to have this continuous antibiotic to get that poison out of his body...

Th Urgent Care nurse chuckled yesterday when we asked if they had some sort of punch card deal available, you know, 10 visits and the 11th is free? 

Here’s the thing, we weren’t joking.  And we’ve probably earned ourselves a free visit this weekend. 

Between silly careless mistakes in the kitchen, to reoccurring infections, to now the latest incidents, I feel like I am now on a first name basis with the staff at the Urgent Care clinic, and we’ve only lived here two years, and only three months of those two years have we had children. 

But now the latest epidemic spreading through our house is not the stomach bug, not some nasty cold, no, it is what Satan thought would inflict the greatest amount of pain on Job.  It is what God used to let his people go...
