Down and Out in Provo

I was up late working on a couple of projects last night, so I was really looking forward to sleeping in this morning.  Delia had planned on taking Sophia to Cradle School today, so I was good to go.  I laid there alone in bed this morning enjoying the space and the quiet.  All of the sudden, Sophia burst into the room and shouted, "Mommy hurt!" 

I jumped out of bed, careful not to knock Sophia over, and began slowly moving through the house.  In case you weren't aware of it, I should let you know that Delia can be a prankster.  As I'm drifting through the house following Sophia, I keep waiting for the punchline.  I passed through the living room, and into the the kitchen and Delia is nowhere to be found.  I looked in the laundry room, then peered into Sophia's room, but no trace of Delia.  Just as I was about to holler, "Where are you?", I heard Delia laugh and say, "What did you tell your daddy?" I was beginning to suspect that I had been the object of a very elaborate con by my not so innocent little girl.  I go over to the bathroom door where Sophia was standing (with a really big smile on her face), and from where Delia's voice was coming, and when I looked inside I found Delia on the floor.  Her back had went out as she was helping Sophia go potty.

After several attempts, we were able to get her up off the floor and eventually to the chiropractor.  Apparently, she had a muscle spasm, and its going to take a couple of days before she's back to being comfortable on her feet. Delia never stops amazing me.  Although she was in pain this morning, she never lost her sense of humor.  She has been up doing stuff, in spite of her discomfort.  She refuses to quit.  I am blessed to have her love and companionship in my life.  Please pray that the Lord with ease her discomfort, and bring healing to her lower back.  We have a two-and-a-half year old who doesn't understand why Mommy can't get up and dance or play hide and seek.

Under the Weather

Please pray for me. I have had a terrible time with my allergies and sinuses since Tuesday. My throat has been sore since Tuesday, although it is feeling better now. My sinuses have been stopped up since Thursday. My eyes are burning. I haven't wanted to move in two days. My mind is hazy and am a beginning to think that all I do is complain. Hopefully, I will be on the mend soon and back to posting daily. I am sorry about not posting more, but I have had a hard time getting my rhythm back after the power outage. Thanks for you prayer and patience.

Weather Update

Today has been a much better day for me. I am feeling pretty good. Sophia appears to be feeling a little bit better. She is sleepy today, but her stomach discomfort woke her up a few times last night. It appears we have weathered the toughest part (hopefully). Yesterday, whenever Delia would take her out for a walk, Sophia would signal for me to come with them (she motions with her hand). When I wouldn't get out of bed she would fuss a little. And at one point last night, when she wanted to go walk the halls, she tried to pull one of my shirts of the hanger so I would take her out. Since I am feeling better I have walked with her quite a bit today. It is good to be up and about. Thank you all for your prayers, and please continue to pray for us.

Under the Weather

I have been in bed most of the day. I'm not sure if I ate something bad, or got a virus. Either way I am praying that the Pepto does the trick. Please, pray that Sophia and I will wake up well tomorrow. God bless.

Maybe Tomorrow

The day is quickly coming to a close. Once again we have taken up the refrain, "Maybe tomorrow." We had hoped to hear something by this afternoon, but we have not. In the back of my mind I hear the old revival song, "Why Not Tonight?". We want to hop on a plane and fly to Guatemala, but we are hesitant to do so without our pink slip. We are still prayerfully considering leaving Thursday, but we want to have that appointment in hand. Please continue to pray with us (I know you already are), and maybe tomorrow we will get our appointment. God bless you all.
