Well, it's been nearly a month since I have sat down to update this. I know it's sad, but if you could have seen us at points during this lapse you would understand why I haven't felt like spending too much time infront of a computer, or in the same position for longer than a short period of time. Again, I preface some of this by saying that we are so incredibly grateful for our health, and realize that we could always be so much worse than we are when we get sick. Yet again, we (Eli and I because somehow Chris seems to be the picture of health because he never ends up with what we get) got sick. It started with Eli and then ended with me, but yet again we are for the most part healthy. So, if you are reading this, pray that we can remain like this and enjoy this season for a little bit.
It all goes back to a conversation I had with my good friends Jenny and Brandy about Mother's Morning Out.....so, I jumped all over it. I didn't realize it was going to start the next day, so I had to act fast. I enrolled him in a two day program. We got him a little lunch box for his snacks and everything. The next day, Wednesday, he went, and two hours later they called for us to pick him up. Not a very good first day for the little guy. Poor thing. We were determined, however, to try it once again. Friday morning he went, and I picked him up earlier, and by that afternoon he was so sick. It was awful. He would seem better and worse at different times, so it was hard to tell. We did not take him to the doctor until the next week. Diagnosis: severe ear infection in both ears and upper respitory infection. He was sick and by that time so was I. It was rough. I waited to go to the doctor until this week, which was probably a little longer than I should have. I had a list of things, which included walking pnemonia. However, they gave me some powerful medicine, and I am pretty much completely better. It's just been a rough two weeks.
This past weekend, while I probably looked like I had major issues, we went to Nashville and got to see our family and stay with my sister. It was a wonderful weekend, and am so glad we went. I just wish I had been less under the weather, but those around me had so much grace.
Needless to say the doctor wanted us to pull Eli out of school right now. This was sad at first, but we love and trust our doctor. We understand that his immune system is still a little weak (hence the reason he seems to get sick so often) and that the best thing is to not take this step just yet, but soon.
In addition to this my computer has had a very bad virus, which I think is still present, but just hiding a bit, so I haven't wanted to deal with the issue all the time. Hopefully though for right now it is under a little bit of control and I will be able to update more often.
Which brings me to yesterday....before I end this very random post.....my incredible husband turned 30! The Lord healed me so I could enjoy and celebrate this day with him. Last week we went out and I was an awful date because I was so sick, so last night we had so much fun going out to dinner and just hanging out. He is taking this new chapter really well, and I am so honored to be his wife. So, it was a wonderful day yesterday and we love him so much!
Overall, we realize that we are blessed. The Lord is so good and shows Himself in all things, and we don't deserve that. Though we have watched a lot happen the past month, we have learned and seen Jesus do great things.
Eli is saying Hi right now and pulling on my leg so I better go. More updates soon.
