Let's recap...

~OK, September the 5th my mom came to stay with us. The next week Jacob spent most of the week sick and had pain in his stomach. We went to the dr and got that resolved, now he is doing better.

~September the 20th my mom and I both got sick, me with an EVIL stomach virus(thought I might DIE!) my mom with what we thought was the virus.

~September 21st took mom to ER and find out she has bowel obstruction.

~September 23rd, one year anniversary of my step dad's death(mom's husband) and the day she has surgery.

~October 5th(or around there) Jacob begins to run a fever and cough terribly. He still has the nasty cough 12 days later. (Allergies?)

~October 9th mom throws up all day, I take her to the ER that night. While there I have a severe panic attack and have to leave her there while I come home to figure out if it really is a panic attack or if I am getting sick. They can't find anything wrong with her and my panic attack goes away after a while. We get home and as I am about to go to bed I see the hugest spider I have ever seen. I hit it with a fly swatter and hundreds of baby spiders go everywhere!!!

~October 10th Nathan and Amber begin running a fever and coughing. This is still going on. Yesterday we find out they have bronchitis. Along with the fever and coughing comes throwing up from coughing too much, not wanting to eat, BAD runny diapers for Nate and potty troubles for Amber, lots of crying and bad attitudes and lack of sleep. During this time George has also gotten the same crud that the kids have.

~October 16th(early this morning) George and I both wake up at the same time throwing up and me having bad stomach pain. George is ok after he gets sick but I am still having some times of bad cramping in my stomach. Thank God that my mom was here. She let us sleep in and took care of the kids. George and I were laying in the bed and I began to sing the song from church,"This Is How We Overcome". And I asked George how we were supposed to overcome from this. He said to stay in bed! LOL

Even though we seem to continue to get hit with trials and sickness, I know that God is in control. He loves us and wants the best for us. We will get through this and be stronger in the end. We will praise Him in this storm! And THIS, my friends, is how I overcome!!!

(And by the way, George fixed the kids TV/DVD player!)
