Stress

Well here I am again. Yesterday we did more blood work and a stool sample with Jenny. This morning she threw up once, and was doubled over until that happened. Paul is convinced that we are dealing with an ulcer--which I guess is caused by bacteria and is easily treated.

Today my stress level is out the roof. We canceled BBQ last night cause I felt like there was no way to do it. I hate being this stressed. I told Paul that I was going to take a "shopping sebbatical". I feel like my stress load is too high and I don't trust myself at this moment to make good decisions.

With Brendan and now Jennifer both being sick and Paul leaving on Monday for a week, I am on the edge today. :(

But the good news is that it is not raining and I think I am going to go out and get my roses moved and work a little in my garden. That always gives me peace.

I enjoyed very much our new neighbors coming for dinner on Thursday night! It is fun to get to know new people and feel like we can make good connections with our neighbors, something I am not always sure that we can do. I also really enjoyed Erin coming over to visit and watch "Goonies" with us. I miss her so much and it was fun to get to share Sammy with her. He loved her of course! Just as Kodi does--well we all do.

Well I am going to keep busy and not sit and stew today. Jenny at the moment is playing dress up and pushing her babies around in her stroller--so she must be feeling better for the moment.

I know there is an answer around the corner and I am trying to find peace today. :)

Just wanted to say you are all in my prayers. The answer WILL come, so just be patient and wait. Hope you hear soon. Do you have another appointment right away for more testing? Jennifer's awfully young to have an ulcer, but as you say, they are easily treated. Saw last night that you had tried to call. I was late getting out of work. Hopefully we can talk today. Love you, Mom
