Not me. The dog.
Still sick. Just earned herself a trip to the V-E-T.
We have an appointment at 5 today.
IF she was pregnant, which at this point, doesn't look like it is the case (admittedly, I'm thankful) she would be giving birth next week. But now, she won't eat and has thrown up two mornings in a row and so the vet wants to see her. Update later.
Second, and actually more important, my best friend Jessica has two younger brothers. Nice start to a story, I know.
The older of the two, Aaron, is spending a year traveling with an organization called Carpenters Tools International (CTI) and just got back from about a month in Taiwan, playing music (since that is what they do) for lots of organizations and groups. Youth groups, prisons, etc.
The younger brother, Joshua, underwent surgery this morning to reconstruct his jaw to correct a severe underbit. I just got a text about 12:30 that he is out of surgery and in recovery but that they had not been able to see him yet. He has months of recovery ahead of him but weeks of a liquid diet that everyone involved is dreading. Imagine having every meal put in the blender, strained, thinned then fed to you with a tube and syringe. Yeah, a blast.
You can see updates on Joshua's blog at:
Jessica is updating as much as possibly until Josh is able to update for himself.
All that to say that they, along with their mom Denise, need your prayers! Pray for Aaron as he travels and plays music. Pray for Jessica as she helps take care of her family. Pray for Denise that she will be able to get everything she wants and needs to complete every day finished. and Pray especially for Joshua. For speedy recovery. Calm spirit. Patience.
This is my second family and I am crazy about all of them. So please, keep them in your prayers as they are separated and healing.
