What A Week We've Had!!!

This week has been full of more heartache and illness and we're ready for it to end!

We started the week off with a phone call from the school... Chase was throwing up! Yucko! Mike drove to get him at noon and he was home for two days recovering. Since then he's been somewhat grouchy and super sleepy, but is recovering slowly and even went to Tween ROCC Youth tonight at church.

Paige decided she'd like to visit the doctors at Baptist Hospital again. This time she got to have a biopsy/culture of the mess that's growing like wildfire on her neck. She did fabulous and in the end it was indeed originally a fungal infection and has grown deeper into a bacterial infection. We took her to the pediatrician SEVERAL times but each time we were told it was nothing, don't worry, blah blah blah! Our new doctor took one look at it and sent us right to dermatology 2 weeks ago and finally, as of today, we have our answer and she's on 4 medicines to heal it once and for all.

Devin... oh Devin! He's a teenager so he thinks he's invincible! He decided to go against doctor's recommendations and he attempted to run track practice this week. Keep in mind the kid is only less than a month out of a walking cast from a tib-fib ligament injury he had before Christmas. Well... three days of track practice and he was limping off the track field in pain! So, we await yet ANOTHER ortho consult and track season for him is done! End of story! He's mad, but he'll get over it!

Last is Kayleigh. She's had the hardest week of all. A friend of hers from school took her own life on Wednesday night. She was just 14 years old. Kayleigh is trying hard to process it all and find a way to deal with her feelings. She's finding comfort in knowing our God is a just, loving, and merciful God and only He knows what this girl was dealing with physically, mentally, emotional and what she facing. He is a fair God who loves us all.

This weekend will be such a time of relaxation for all of us and we're looking forward to it and spending time together as a family on Sunday.
