Brief update ...

Hey friends! It seems that the staph infection is now gone, thank goodness! However, the antibiotics I was on made me incredibly sick. Thankfully, I finished them early yesterday morning, but I'm still feeling pretty awful (along the lines of having the stomach flu). I spoke with one of the nurses at my doctor's office and will talk to the doctor tomorrow morning (she was out today), but their best guess is that it's still the antibiotics wreaking havoc on my system because this antibiotic is designed to stay in your system and keep working for a while after you finish the pills. So please keep praying, and thanks for your prayers so far!

Also, check out a new devotional blog, Celebrate!, that I contribute to. It's a spin-off of the Celebrating Christmas! one (if you ever ventured over there). We're publishing on Wednesdays, and today's post is from me about some of what God's been teaching me in the midst of all this crazy health stuff. The other gals over there - Norma, Karen, and Sarah - are wonderful ladies who I feel honored and humbled to work alongside, so it'll be good stuff! We'll be posting each Wednesday.
