Results For How Many Words Can You Find

This has been a week!! I know I haven't posted much this week and that always bothers me when I don't get to do that.

Thursday morning I had Michelle at the hospital ER struggling to breathe and having a high fever and her chest burning. They gave her iv fluids due to being dehydrated and drew blood and took xrays of her neck and her throat. They swabbed her throat to test for strep and they swapped her nose to test for the flu. The blood work showed no mono and the strep test was negative and the flu test was also negative. Her potassium level was really low so they had to give her potassium by iv too. The xrays showed swelling in her throat which explained the difficulty in breathing and also showed the beginning of pneumonia. So she was a very sick girl!! She was doing much better by that evening after having fluids and getting started on a steroid to help with the throat and the chest problems. Now the only thing she is dealing with is that she is allergic to something in the Bomb Pops popsicles. The doctor said she needed to eat lots of popsicles....so she requested those to have. After eating a couple of those her face swelled up and turned really red. We thought maybe it was something else that did it so she tried to eat another one later that evening....and the same thing happened. So to her disappointment...no more Bomb Pops.

Then yesterday Kristina began coughing really bad and not feeling well. By yesterday afternoon she was achy and had the chills and began to run a fever last night of 102*. So now we are dealing with her having the flu. I'm praying she doesn't get bad enough to have to go to the hospital. I was reading on the Atlanta news website that the flu is very widespread here in Georgia. They are seeing record cases of the flu and many had their flu shots. My prayer now is that my husband doesn't get it. He has started his new job and cannot be sick right now.

We are in the process of looking for a house. We looked at several last Saturday but none that the Lord would allow us to get. We go to look at another one this afternoon. My husband has also began setting up his schedule for deputation. Please help us pray. Many churches are struggling and are either not taking on any more missionaries and won't let us come or they have lots of missionaries in front of us that they would need to take on before they would consider us. I know that God is in control of all of this and that is why I'm not fretting. But I saw the look in my husband's eyes every time he would hear the news that we couldn't come to a church. We just thank the Lord for the few meetings that he has gotten so far. The Lord will work it all out in His time. But until then my husband has to work his job to provide for our family. And with his health already being an issue (which God has seen fit to help him with lately to God be the glory!!) he certainly doesn't need the flu on top of it.

Anyway...with all of this going on this week there hasn't been much time devoted to the computer. I hope to see my girls well and be back at posting on Monday. Till then I did want to post the results to the puzzle for this week. Thank you to those that played.
