What a Week (Part II) ...

I knew I should have never posted on Friday declaring the family "Healthy". It was just bad luck. One person in the family hadn't gotten sick yet ... me! And sure enough come Saturday morning it was my turn. I woke up with a headache that progressed through the morning on a very bad day to get a headache. We were scheduled to go to a wonderful wedding of a friend and neighbor of Silvia's family who they all grew up with.

I first tried to deny the headache, but it became much more apparent through the morning that this one wasn't going away. Silvia had to make the decision to cancel our plans to go to the wedding and instead we went to the E.R. (an equally exciting place for a Saturday). We were very blessed to have my niece Jesse coming up to watch the kids for the wedding, so she stayed and filled in very nicely. She was truly a Godsend. Thanks, Jess!

The long and short of it that they admitted me overnight to get the headache under control and I came home this afternoon feeling much better.

Thanks for your prayers to all who knew what was going on. I am not going to say we are all better anymore, but for now God has calmed the storm and we continue to place all of our faith in Him alone.

Have a wonderful and healthy week!

Thanks, Mark!

You guys have raised a wonderful, loving and caring daughter ( and two tremendous boys). We couldn't have done it without her!
