Jones Family Update

Jason went back to the primary care doctor on Thursday and was given a pill to help with blood sugar (we were hoping for insulin!) and *more* pain medication. The doctor feels that the pill will do the trick and will be a more stable option than the insulin, which sometimes causes a quick drop in blood sugar. We wanted the quick fix of insulin, considering how long he has been going through all of this. The doctor is also hoping that with the new medication, healing will speed up and that in a few weeks, the pain medication won't even be necessary. Hopefully, he is right, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.

There have been several evenings this week when we thought we were headed to the hospital to have the baby, but then things would taper off and I would eventually get back to sleep. Unless she comes before then, we are being induced on Monday. Personally, I hope she comes before then, but if not, I only have two more days to wait. My parents are out of town this weekend, which would complicate things somewhat, but I'm sure we could handle it.

Please pray for my parents and my entire family this weekend. My brother and his wife fly out of DFW first thing tomorrow morning. They are on there way to Thailand to work with the North Thailand Christian Mission and are not expected to be back in the states for at least two years. This is why my parents aren't here this weekend ;-) My mother is very emotional because this is her "baby". Also, my brother and his wife are not assigned seats together for their last two flights from California to Korea, and then from Korea to Chaing Mai, so we are praying that someone will be willing to trade with them so that they can be together.
