At last posting I was eager to dive back into routine and schooling and resume the norm. God's ways aren't our ways however, and the morning after posting I found myself entirely bedridden and too dizzy and weak to stand for even a few minutes. The respiratory flu turned into bronchitis and then morphed into health adventures that have left me spinning for nearly six weeks.
Through it all I was able to keep things running and after the first week or so of illness I was able to restart partial school and normalize our family life but found myself collapsing into bed in the evening without much spare brain power to construct even coherent sentences for the blog. We even spent most of one week as refugees in a local relatives home while they were on vacation--while home repairs pushed us out of our own house for a time. It's been a wild ride, but God's provided richly in every step. (And the children were fabulous helpers! It was a joy to see them rush to fill he gaps! )
I'm mostly recovered, our home has been (almost) reclaimed, and things are looking promising indeed!
Our most recent adventure was Keegan's surgery, which I'll detail in a few minutes! Stay tuned!
