JEFF STILL BATTLING THE HEADACHES!

Jeff missed 2 days work last week and so far 2 days this week due to these debilitating headaches. :( I feel so bad for him as they move around in his head and he says it is like a kaleidoscope of colors, even with his eyes closed. Per the doctor, we went to the ER yesterday and he had a CT scan to make sure that the small brain aneurysm that he has is not bleeding. As well as they could see, it is not.....that is a good thing. The doctor gave him a really powerful injection that (stronger than morphine) worked for about 2 hours. It is very quiet in our home as I am not making any noise of any kind....I had to stop the clock in the bedroom because the ticking was too loud for him. Of course, the house has to remain dark as well. My goodness I hope this passes soon! He has admitted that he has had a headache for over 2 months....ranking them a 6 or 7. Yesterday he told the ER doctor it was a 15. About 30 years ago I suffered a bout with cluster headaches and I remember it lasted about 3 weeks and I thought I would go out of my mind. Nothing helped and one day it was "just gone" and never returned. I was hoping Jeff's would do the same, but not so....or at least not yet! Saturday morning I had called Jeff at work as he had forgot his sunglasses and he said "I don't need them, I feel great"...and he sounded great too! We went to church 8 am Sunday morning, went to breakfast with friends and he was feeling wonderful, no headache! Then it hit him midday on Sunday, and it was back full force. Now, how do you figure that??? We will have to pray harder I guess.

Anna is so happy her mommy is expecting a baby.....she keeps snuggling up to Jenny and saying "mommy, I love you, we're having a baby". It is so sweet to see her enjoying this journey. Jenny had an ultrasound yesterday and they saw the heartbeat of the baby.....Jenny was much relieved at seeing it. Only 7 months to go! I guess she is about 9 1/2 weeks along. Amazing. :)

I am feeling much better. I had about a week that I was not feeling well, and of course it happened to be over the Easter holiday. I sure wish it would warm up and stay warm! It is 31 degrees today. We had some snow, slush and rain this morning so far. So much for spring! It is very damp in the house too...even though I have the heat turned up to 68 for Jeff. Usually I can live with the heat at 65 but not today...just cannot get warmed up. Well, I guess I whined enough. I am going to make a cup of tea and read a book...it is just that kind of day!

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.
