It’s in the 40’s and sunny here today. It looks like we’ll be in the high 50’s later this week. I am so thankful for the sunshine! It seems like I’m getting a lower tolerance for dreary, overcast days.
Nathan had a new co-worker start this week. Their family moved here from Illinois. I ran over to meet his wife on Friday as they were getting their stuff settled. I had gathered a few items to help stock their pantry. I can’t believe that we were in that same place a year ago. It’s really nice to be able to offer support to others just a little behind us on this adventure.
Speaking of which, I have the awesome privilege and responsibility of facilitating/teaching a Bible study called “Moving On After Moving In”. I participated in it last year and this year I get to teach! We had our first session on the 11th. I think there are 13 women in the class and we’re still growing. Each one of them has moved within the last several years. Most of them have moved in the last year or less. There is so much stuff to deal with in regard to moving and it’s such a sweet time of being with women who are all going through the same things and supporting each other. Honestly, I come home from class exhausted, but it’s worth it.
Today is a busy school day for us. We’re gone for a lot of the day on Wednesday. I’m trying to make up for that by doing a lot on Tuesdays.
I brought Audrey to see the doctor last week. I mentioned a little while ago that we were trying to get rid of warts. Well, she has had them for a long time and if it was just a few on her fingers I probably wouldn’t have worried about it, but a little over a week ago, I noticed that she had one on her mouth as well and she also has toe fungus (sorry if that’s too much information) and I was feeling overwhelmed and like it was taking over Audrey and I don’t want my sweet little girl to have to deal with this. The doctor said it was good that we came in. He gave us two oral medicines. One is for her toe and she takes it once a week. The other oral one is a medicine that is also used for reflux, but it works to get rid of ulcers and warts as well. She takes that daily. We also got a third medicine which is acid that we “paint” on the warts every 4 days. It’s like a really, really strong form of Compound W. That particular medicine was over $80! Even with all of this, it could take several months of treatment.,
Speaking of health stuff, there is no change with Nathan. We’re on day 25 of Bells Palsy. Keep praying for healing for him and for Audrey.
