One Good Breath - Oct. 20, 2008

Thanks for checking up on me everyone. I really appreciate it. You make me feel so loved by your phone calls or e-mails! Awe-shucks.

Things, meaning me, took a turn south yesterday, unfortunately. Something has exploded in my lungs. Not literally for those of you who are literal, but figuratively...sort of. Most likely a pneumonia is going to town in there. I pretty much feel like a train has hit my chest and I'm on the moon since oxygen is in such short supply. I'll be calling the Pulmanologist when the office opens. They probably won't have any appts. available, and will tell me to go to the ER. I don't want to go to the ER because they will have to call Pulmanology down anyway. (You see the circle I'm running in, right?) So, I'm asking for prayer for an immediate need of healing, and that I would miraculously get an appt. with Dr. Han this morning without all the extra of going to the ER. (By the way, every time I go to the ER I think the staff loses all color in their faces. They don't want to see me either!)(Val-would you add me to the prayer list at church?) How's that for a specific request?!

Dawn arrives tonight. We (as in "she" with me panting for air) are packing the next two days and then fly out on Thursday. Mike and the boys are leaving here on Friday night with another friend of ours, Mike Dalzell. He will be driving with Mike as far as Kansas City. I'll be staying at Dawn's until they arrive in Indy, probably Tuesday is our guess.

My inability to get a good breath last night seemed to be the catalyst for both boys to completely fall apart. Please pray for both Noah and Aaron to feel secure that God's got this whole situation....no matter what.

Thanks.

Love,
Anne
