Life is Perfect - BAM!

     The baby girls are both sleeping all through the night.  The big kids are thriving well.  Some of our students got in.  Married life is so great with my best friend and we now have times together in the evenings after the kids are all asleep.  Life seemed perfect.  I even said that to Brice and our teammates one evening, "Man, we are so blessed.  Great marriage, kids, life, team, school - just so blessed."

     Yes, the buyers who are buying the old property still have not paid the money for us to buy the school here, which is creating a tight spot financial wise until they do or we go out on faith again and put the old school back up for sale.  And due to the economy and cuts, immigration stalled and closed down for awhile, causing some of our students not to be able to come this year.  So, no things were not perfect here, but still life was so good.

     And then last month my super healthy husband who is never sick and always so strong, got sick.  We thought the flu or bronchitis or something.  After a week he went to the doctor from pain in his chest, deep cough, fever, and other symptoms.  They said it's bronchitis - it will go away.  A week later, he was so weak, breathing hard, coughing up blood, and the doctor said- pneumonia got really bad or a bacterial infection it was. So, strong antibiotics, steroids, inhalers, etc were prescribed.  Another week went by and no improvement - still weak, difficult to breathe, no voice, cough - after blood work, more samples, chest x-ray - they said COPD (what, he has never smoked before?) and some spots on his lungs.


     Deep breath - so he has a cat scan scheduled tomorrow and then will see a lung specialist to know more.  This could honestly be an infection that got out of control (we are praying for this) and praying for our daddy to be better after a month of feeling so sick.  We still know we are so blessed - good diagnosis or a harder one.  And we are so thankful for this life God gave us, not perfect, but good.  So good and God is good!
