It’s funny, I felt like I had been away from my blog for several days — I was surprised to see it had only been since Thursday! I did miss out on a couple of my favorite weekly memes.

I had our ladies’ ministry newsletter due out this week plus our church has had revival meetings all week. The special meetings were great, but the combination of a busy week and being out several nights in a row left me feeling like I could sleep for a week. I just feel really tired today. Sleeping in til 8 felt like pure luxury.

The cellulitis I mentioned earlier is still there. Sometimes it looks better; sometimes it looks worse, so I am not really sure how it is doing. The doctor told me to keep my leg elevated, which has been a little hard to do with everything else going on. She didn’t say to go on bedrest, so I haven’t been sure just how much I needed to keep it up. I brought a chair next to the computer to prop it up in, but because of the angles of everything it just isn’t comfortable for very long.

So, to try to get this thing in hand I plan to pretty much take today “off” and keep my leg propped up. I have some laundry to do, but that’s about it. My dear, kind husband took care of the dishes and is making a grocery store run for me, and we’re planning on take-out pizza tonight. Thankfully last weekend I went on a cleaning frenzy, so things are in fair shape in that department. I am heading off to the couch with a book and the TV remote. Sounds like a lovely way to spend a Saturday!

I wanted to mention also that the little baby girl I asked you to pray for is doing really well, though she had some major scares along the way. She’s off the ECMO machine and ventilator and is getting some oxygen through a nasal cannula though her lungs still aren’t at full capacity yet. I think the next big hurdle is eating: she’s been fed through a tube so far while they worked on the breathing situation, so they will start trying regular feeding some time soon to see if she can learn how to suck. She’s still in the hospital but was moved to one closer to home, which is a tremendous help to the family.

Thanks to those who prayed for her! If you feel led, please continue to pray for her progress — and for healing for my leg. 🙂
