Sept 15 – 3rd day
Well, I'm coming to you to ask for some specific prayer about my side effects that I'm experiencing today. Yesterday, I felt mild flu symptoms (aches and pains), but today I have been feeling a bit of nausea. I think the main culprit is the headache that I have as a result of one of the anti-nausea medications. So, it's a vicious circle! I did talk to the nurse tonight, who gave me some suggestions to ease the headache and hopefully sleep tonight. One drug (a steriod) they have me on for anti-nausea has me in a hyper-state and I wasn't able to sleep last night. It is also causing a low fever. So, there is a myriad of things going on inside my body right now! So, I truly cherish your prayers for these issues. I knew that the 3rd day typically tends to be the worst, so I should be heading out of it and have about a week-and-a-half break of feeling fairly normal.
The kids have been amazing. Colby just kicks right into gear, getting breakfast, lunch, putting Brayden down for his nap, etc. They've been having a lot of quality time together today as I tried to catch up on the sleep I didn't get last night. Yesterday, I felt so good (besides the headache) that we had about a 6-hour school day, so I felt very good about that. They were able to do their math today and we're just going to focus on getting done whatever we can each day.
Thank you so much for lifting me up to our Great Healer! As you do, please also lift up my sweet little cousin, Hailey. She is 2 and is in Children's Hospital with an infection in her leg that resulted from a cut on her foot. She's probably going to be there for the week and needs prayer for comfort and healing. It's been a scary week for her family, so I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers!
Blessings and love to you all!
