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. He’s right where he needs to be if something bad happens, and he isn’t really in any pain except for being all stiff from being in bed so long. So, there’s our week in a nutshell so far. We are hoping they let him go home this afternoon, but if his hand still isn’t improving the way it should be, we may be looking at another night there.
People have been so kind to us through this whole ordeal; bringing food, watching the kids, and just calling or emailing to say they care. So, thanks for all of your support and love, and we are so blessed to have so many people in our lives who care about us.
Annnd, we’ve pretty much abandoned the idea of moving on Saturday, and we’re hoping the lease can be signed before our landlord moves to Oregon on Saturday, and we still have most of the house to pack up. But, the kids are going to be with us for a little longer, we found out yesterday, so S’s first day of Kindergarted is coming together well, and she’s actually in the same school that my friend teaches at! Although things are scary and unknown and expensive and this is really hard for everyone, we can see how the Lord is blessing us in little ways and showing us that He is still there, He still loves us, and we’re going to be okay.
So, please pray for a speedy recovery from Nathaniel and that we ALL get to come home this afternoon!
