Long day and night

Blessings Prayer Warriors,
Erin had a very rough night, vomiting 10 times. We gave her extra IV fluids in the night to keep her hydrated until we could get to the clinic this morning. They checked her out and gave her some IV meds and more fluids, hopefully breaking the cycle of nausea.
I am praising God for His pointed confirmation of my decision to stop working. This year of recovery will apparently have sudden ups and downs and it is easier to just be here 24/7. It takes the stress off of the whole family, especially me.
Speaking of family, my Dad spent 8 hours in the ER yesterday. He swallowed something that stuck in his throat and he couldn't get it to move. He couldn't cough it up and he couldn't swallow it down. After hours of waiting for his turn in the ER, the food had finally moved before he was seen and he didn't have to have any invasive procedure! Thank you Lord! Sometimes waiting is a good thing.
Well, that's all the news for today. Thanks as always for the prayers!! love, janet

"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:18 AMEN

You guys have had such a rough year, now your poor father had a scare. I do believe you made the best decision to quit your job. Those nasty bugs are everywhere right now and they do not need to be brought home to Erin. I'm sure you will be provided for all your needs. Miracles continue to happen. Hang in there everyone. Keep your chin up Erin. Relief must be around the corner.
Daily prayers continue for you and your family.

Hey Blonshine's
Yucky days stink! At Girl's group tonight we talked about the magnitude of God-His overwhelming love for us, and His ways that we can't begin to understand. I agree with Tracy--you all need to brace yourselves because God is going to bless you beyond belief. Your obedience is amazing, and glorifies the awesome God we serve. We continue to pray for all of you, and will specifically ask for increased energy and NO stomach pain. There is no doubt that God will provide all that you need--right now the full time job needs to be getting well. We love you!
