healthier kids

I had to laugh on Tuesday morning. It took two friends to help us take care of our sick family. One came to stay with Bennett while I took Cody to the doctor. Another came to take Rhonda to the doctor. Fortunately, things are a bit better. On Wednesday we got both kids back to school, so it feels like we're back to three out of four being healthy.

On Tuesday, the nurse practioner suggested that Rhonda try a new medicine that may help her with some of her nerve pain and headaches and perhaps evern her eyes. Since Rhonda does not always react well to medicines, please pray that it would work well and that she will have no adverse reactions. Rhonda will also continue to receive the IVG treatments once a month (sooner if needed). In March we have an appointment scheduled with a doctor at Scott and White to see if he has any other suggestions.

In the meantime, we continue to pray and hope for progress. Thanks for everyone's support. In fact, throughout this whole time we've continually had folks ask how they can help. Right now, the best way to help would be to contact Brandi Ross who is coordinating meals: tross14@hot.rr.com If that doesn’t appeal to some folks, gift cards to local restaurants are another option.

As for our other needs, the Lord has graciously provided. It’s been really good for Rhonda to have support from a college student on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She is a tremendous help with the kids and housework.
