Prayer and pulling through

WooHoo! Please join me in the happy dance as we've officially gone 24 hours without vomit for the first time since last Tues. M2 is feeling better. Very tired. But better. He ate dinner and even a little snack. I am so happy for him and my mommy heart is just overflowing! Thank you Lord for getting us through this one!

M1 did go to the doc, did suffer through the almighty throat culture and all that just to find out she has a virus. She's been home two days now (yesterday a snow day and today a sick day). I plan on her going to school tomorrow so long as she isn't near death in the morning. Hopefully enough ibuprofen and she'll be fine. No plans tomorrow evening, so rest after school should get her through.

E is doing ok. He has had some pain on and off today as the hospital pain killers are probably gone from his system. He seems to be in good spirits too! A little trouble was encountered while attempting to put on a sweatshirt tonight, when he felt like he pulled something. We both think it's from lack of use over the last 24 hours, and any movement will trigger such. He's fine though. Tomorrow is the post op appt and we hope to have pathology results back. Please pray this is nothing. A goofy freak of nature and that there is no cancer.

I, too, feel sanity creeping back in. Tonight I got out for a while and helped serve dinner for youth at church. Only 105 kids tonight. Think the cold and road conditions probably have some parents saying they won't get out again to pick kids up. That's ok! It was a nice outing for me, and M2 came along to get a break from the siblings. What a great helper he was. He filled 100 cups with water and lemonade and even helped clean trays after. Such a trooper!

So - for tonight - I want to say thanks for the prayers. We seem to be coming around the bend, or approaching the top, or on the mend or however you want to see it. Here's hoping for rest for us all and good news at the doc tomorrow.

Sweet Dreams!
