Thankful...

The past 2 weeks have been interesting for our family. Dan & I took a 2 night trip with our close friends to the Badlands & when we returned Dan came down with what we thought was the flu. Turns out the friends we stayed with, the friends we made the trip with, and people they knew all came down with illness along with Dan & me.

I have never in my life felt like that. After 7 days of feeling so sick, weak, and tired we noticed a turn around. We found out we had contracted a serious bacteria called, camylobacter, that gave of the effects of severe food poisoning and lasting days from raw fresh cow's milk we drank....not so fresh huh??;) By the end of my first week I was praying desperately for the Lord to make us well. I have really taken our good health for granted. Shame on me!

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since we got sick & I'm feeling amazing! This past Friday was the first day I felt normal, and we praised the Lord for it!

God gave us grace as we still had to care for the boys as we were flat on our backs sick. I don't even know what they were up to the first three days, or what they ate! My poor boys!! I'm thankful Carter is such a wonderful helper with the baby, and we are so glad they didn't make the trip with us as they too would have drank the raw milk. Bless their little hearts.

I'm thanking the Lord for our good health!
