Hey, well, my first Sunday in Advent my trip to Mass was rudely interrupted by another driver and my car totaled and my morning spent in the ER being x-rayed and scanned for internal bleeding.

Broken rib, incredible bruises, hematomas--including a breastfeeding breast out of order and producing bloody milk still a week after the wreck, and more pain from my tailbone than you can imagine. I am not to drive until healed enough to do without pain medicine.

THEN, my hubby got sick, followed by the kids. Trips to the doctor for me, with everyone beginning to get sick, and then trips to the doctor for sick kiddos who have the flu, hubby who is over the flu but is now on a nebulizer and steroids, and antibiotics and he is miserably sick.

So, second Sunday in Advent is a sick day.

Could we have some prayers for health and healing? Also wisdom for doctors to do their jobs well.

And perhaps a prayer that my adult son will get some family loyalty to wake up and make himself available to do a bit of driving for me.

Will offer prayers for you and all your intentions. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through so much right now.

Oh, what a time you've had! It sounds as though your Advent is definitely giving you plenty of opportunities to offer up suffering.

Saying a prayer.

I'll say! AND plenty of time to think and blog.

by the way, still in pain, still with one half of my breastfeeding apparatus bleeding too much for baby feeding. Hubby's breathing is worse, the kids are better.

I've had LOTS of reflections on how fortunate I am. But that hardly changes the need for prayers of healing.

Thank you all for praying for us! We appreciate it.

Update:
Found out today that one of the pain medicines given to me by a doctor who knows I am breast feeding has a really unpleasant side effect.

Now, the pain medicines are so I can rest better.

And the side effect is that it gets in the breast milk and makes the baby VERY VERY CRANKY. Thus, i am not getting any sleep anyway.

I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and tell him I am off the medicine he prescribed and ask him if an over-the-counter like plain old tylenol would not do as well. I KNOW that stuff won't bother the baby.

Up side, I am in less pain. The main injuries are still painful, but a lot of the smaller injuries are reduced to almost nothing.

Kids seem to be pretty well past the flu.

Hubby is still ill.

Thank you so much for the prayers!
