Allergies???

After writing this, I realized this post is kind of

scattered, like my brain lately...

 

 

Wow, the weather sure changed fast yesterday around here!

We were in town and so we watched the temperature drop while

 we were driving around, it fell 35 degrees in 3 hours!  Made me

wish I had brought my jacket.  So, now we have a fire in the wood

stove, and the kids are rummaging around trying to find their

coveralls, gloves, and hats, while I try to stay indoors!

 

Ever since Miss E came out of the hospital at birth she has had chronic

nasal congestion.  Her nose runs a lot and at night she has trouble

breathing.  So this afternoon we are going to an allergist to get

her tested for allergies.  I'm kind of nervous about it though

because she is so afraid of doctors, she cries and cries every

time we go, and this test requires them to poke a bunch of needles

in her back, with different allergens in them, to see how she reacts.

It takes 2 hours.  Thankfully my Mom is coming along to help

me out and hopefully we can all stay calm throughout.

I am guessing it's a food allergy, but we'll see.

We'd appreciate your prayers, that the doctors would be able

to figure out what the problem is.  Thanks.

 

 

Even though this test won't be any fun I'm thankful that

we have such good medical care.  If we lived 500 years ago

many members of our family would not be here today,

because they would have died from things like ruptured

appendixes or other things that are so easily fixed today.

So there is always something to be thankful for, right?

 

Through all the storms of life, I am so glad that God is

right there beside me.  Lately I read the book, "Let's Roll",

by Lisa Beamer.  Her husband died on September 11, 2001,

on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.  She said this,

and I totally agree.

 

"But I have found safety and security in a loving heavenly

Father, who cannot be shaken, who will never leave me

or forsake me, and in whom I can trust completely. For

those looking for hope, I recommend grabbing the hand

of your heavenly Father as tightly as possible, like a little

child does with his parent.  God is a hero who will always

be there when you need him."

 

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly

calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus,

the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
