Sean Update

Yea! We have Internet again! :) No phone yet but that's okay.

I wanted to ask again for your prayers for Sean. With all the fire stuff going on, I've not had time to post about him very much and he's actually not doing real hot right now. I was kind of surprised that it took a few days for him to start feeling better with the new antibiotics but I think he's finally healing a little bit. I still haven't heard from the University about what kind of bug it was so hopefully I find that out this afternoon and I can talk to his urologist again about what's going on with all this stuff.

The rest of us are doing pretty well, all things considered. Jacob will probably be coming home this weekend, which Sean and Grace will love, and the construction has begun on the house so that's kind of fun to watch. I took pictures from the first day and they've already filled two dumpsters with all the destruction so we're kind of excited that they've started. If you haven't yet, check out my Facebook page (just search for my name) and see all the pictures.

There is one thing Mark and I are still working on and that is finding a temporary home for Shadow, our dog. If you or anyone you know might be interested in letting him stay with you for a few weeks, please let me know ASAP. Right now he's spending the nights at the house all by himself and then we tie him up in a friend's backyard, but it's pretty stressful for him. He really needs a more consistent place to live for a bit. He's really nice! :) And he's used to lots of kids being around and other dogs/cats are no problem. The friend he's staying with already has 2 dogs and 3 cats and he doesn't bother them at all.

Anyway, I'm sure Grace will be awake soon here so I'd better go. Have a fantastic day!

Sean update and communication problems

Hi all! I'm on my sister's ANCIENT and painfully slow computer so I'm not going to type much, but I wanted to let y'all know that Sean is still really struggling with a nasty UTI. We were at the U on Friday and they said his urine was clear but by Monday he was feverish and lethargic and he even threw up, which he never does anymore. So we headed up to his pediatrician and they said his urine looks all wonky again. I'm really getting very frustrated with that and I appreciate your prayers in that department.

As for the communication problems, I just wanted to let everyone know we don't have phone or Internet so don't be offended if we take a few days to get back to you! We should get Internet back on Thursday and then phone next Monday.

Thanks!
