Hello Blogger Buddies, the pics are from our annual family reunion. This time it was in Santa Cruz over looking the water. Beautiful spot where were watched the seals, dolphins and other sea life daily. The weather wasn't the best but the company was. We also got to go visit Kyle at his latest work site. He's working at a lagoon clearing off the tool leaves and dredging. He's even using the excavator and having fun with it. He'll be there for another 4 weeks working on the project. I had a good time but unfortunately I got pretty sick there. My belly ballooned out and I had a harder and harder time breathing so on Friday we went straight from the reunion to the dr where they promptly checked me into the hospital. Turns out I was drowning. My lungs were in cased in fluid more that half way up my back. They drained my stomach of 2 liters and both my lung cavities of 1 liter each. Not a fun procedure but I at least I can breathe again. Now I have to get back on treatment right away because the fluid will continue to build up again. So tomorrow I go in for treatment. I am nervous about it because I don't' feel good now and I'll get hit hard tomorrow. I haven't even been able to hold down water so far so I'm not sure how I'll handle treatment. Please keep me in your prayers that my body responds to the treatment and that I start to be able to hold down fluid of any kind. Through this time I have continued to feel blessed by so many friends and family that have called, texted, emailed and prayed for me. This is not a fun time for me or my family but together we will get through knowing that I continue to be in God's plan and His graces.
Psalm 34:1-4 I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
