A Good Night’s Rest

I forgot what it was like to sleep all night (well at least for 5 or 6 hours straight).  Something I like to do but haven’t had much of in the last couple of weeks.  Emily has been having a lot of pain and isn’t sleeping well.  Last night was the first night she had a regular sleep.

She has another bladder infection and is still having bowel trouble with slow movement and some pain.  She had an appointment with the surgeon yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the cyst that has been on her left ovary for a few months is gone!  Talk about a miracle, wow! 

So for now we’ll let her rest and hopefully much of the pain will be gone once the bladder infection gets under control.  Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes.

And thanks for listening ~

Oh man, I know how hard sleep deprivation is! After a while it's like we forget we aren't sleeping enough. We learn to function with no sleep.

I am glad that you figured out the bladder infection, and I hope you and Emily get a lot of rest now!

Michelle,
SLEEP? WHAT'S THAT? I FORGOT! PRAISE THE LORD FOR AT LEAST ONE GOOD NIGHT! WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH FAITH AND A NEW CROP OF SEIZURES AT NIGHT, SO VERY LITTLE SLEEP FOR US IN OUR HOUSE.
