Sunday, November 18, 2012

I look at the date and can't believe that 2012 is almost over.  Where did most of the year go?  It has been a year of many ups and downs.  A year of change and a year of growth.  I have constantly been in amazement at the goodness of people in providing things for my family.  We have been extremely blessed.  Thank you all for the prayers, the service and the thoughts done on our behalf.  We are grateful for all of those.

It has been a crazy week.  Sarah has had to go to the clinic every day to get an antibiotic via her port (IV).  On Thursday, Sarah's port wasn't working.  This happens when a protein forms over the tube in her vein.  To get it working again they have to put a medicine called TPA in the port and have it sit there for 1-2 hours.  Before they do that, they take a chest X-Ray to make sure the port is still in the right place.  We have had to do it a couple of times with Sarah before.  It caused the appointment to go on a lot longer than expected.  On top of that, we found out on Friday that Sarah, Jess, and Gus were exposed to pertussis on Thursday, while waiting in the waiting room.  This means that they all have to be on an antibiotic and Sarah has to wear a mask at the hospital for 5 days.

We didn't want to risk Gus infecting anyone so he stayed home from church and Sarah had a clinic visit.  That meant that only Lilly went to church, since it was the primary program.  We wish we could have gone to see the program.

Thanks again for all the love and support that we receive.  It lifts our hearts and our spirits.
