March 4th

The last few days have been rough. "Eenie" is recovering from the flu, which "Meanie" has caught now. So far, no one else is showing obvious signs. My nausea is getting so bad that I am forced to spend much of the day lying down. It is frustrating. Jason has been more active this week, but it is still causing him quite a bit of pain. He has decided he is going to have to get up and work through the pain if he is going to stand any chance of going back to work in a few weeks.

Our best friends are in town from Kansas City. We had hoped to spend more time with them, but with our illness, we were only able to spend a couple of hours with them this evening. Maybe the next time we try to get together it won't be cold and flu season :-0

Thank you for your continued prayers. Please keep praying for Jason's recovery and strength, strength and health for me and baby, and health and strength for our children.

ETA: Please pray for a dear couple that we know. She has been on a ventilator since Oct after several health issues. She is not doing well, and they haven't been able to wean her from the vent. They have run out of days that Medicare will pay for her care and are looking at having to shut off the ventilator. She is 83 and her husband is 79. Their only child (my aunt) died 10 years ago, and they have no close family here to support them during this trial.
