I wanted to give everyone an update on our situation, as of Tuesday night...

First, I'll start off with a picture of our peanut...we love her very much!! :)

I’ve been feeling MUCH better over the last few days. I think by early next week I’ll likely be back to normal. I’m still taking it pretty easy for awhile longer, but I’ll be able to start helping Lindsay with household chores. Hopefully I’ll have dishes done and the house picked up when she gets back from work today. Thank you for all your prayers for my health.

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay in an update. Things have been busy! God has been good and given me incredible time management, though! ( : God has also been good with Mike’s mono. He is feeling better, and he’s even got a little itty bitty bit of an appetite back. He was able to go to a study session tonight. We’ll see how he feels after his classes tomorrow.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for your continued prayers. Mike went to his classes today, and he seems like he did pretty well considering the circumstances. He went to bed really early tonight, so I think it wore him out. I took him to class, using my lunch hour, then my brother, Kyle, took him home from campus. ***Thanks for your help, Kyle!***

Lindsay says,

Okay, that was a really long title, but could I please just sing the praises of our Lord and Savior a little more?

God, you are the:
Alpha and Omega
Almighty
Big Man on Campus
One in Charge
One who chooses to BLESS in spite of our narrow-minded pessimism (sp?)
Rock, especially when my earthly pebble is sick
so good
so good
so good
so good.

As some of you know I have been feeling like crap lately. My body has been extremely fatigued and my lymph nodes have been swollen. So, I went to PUSH (Purdue University Student Health center) to see a doctor. He said my symptoms sounded like mono to him, so he had a blood test run. And of course it came back freaking positive! Doesn’t that suck?! Especially since school started today. The only worse situation would be if Lindsay got it from me. Right now is a very hectic time at her work and she can ill afford to be tired and weak.

Ha ha ha, get it! Mono means one, but this is the second entry about the topic “Mono”??? LOL…okay, well, maybe it’s not that funny, but around this house, any humor is welcome!

So, Mike has mono. Do you know how much this sucks? Pretty darn bad. You wanna know why? Because Mike normally does almost all of the housework. Seriously! He has a lot more time off. I’m working an average of 45 hours a week and taking 6 hours of classes. I don’t really have much time to take care of the house. I’ve got to, though. I guess maybe this will make me a better wife.
