update

I have been pretty sick this past week which is why I haven't posted part 2 yet. I do believe, however that we have narrowed the problem down. It is believed I may have an ulcer. The treatment plan seems to be working, so I think that has been what is making me sick. It got to the point of ridiculous last week when, after being sick since the first day of school, I became violently ill last Tuesday morning. Being hard-headed, I went on to work only to get sick the minute I walked in the door. From there, I spent the rest of the morning at the hospital and doctor's office until I finally made it home with orders to stay put the rest of the week. That's exactly what I did....guilt and all. I hate missing work, but oh well. I am still not 100%, but I went back today. By 11:30, I was ready to go, but I suffered through the afternoon and made it the whole day. It was my choice to go back...the doctor had said that I may need to stay home this week as well, but I'm a little paranoid. There's strep and other crud going around. I'm using Lysol wipes to try to keep my surfaces germ-free, but I can only do so much! So, say a big prayer that the crud doesn't find me.

On another note, Steve and I have a decision that needs to be made. We, as always, want to be within God's will, but this is not something to take lightly. I cannot elaborate, but I do ask that you petition the Lord with us as He works His plan.
