Sorry I haven't been around for a while.

This week has been quite a trial in of itself.

I had been trying to get jess to stay on his diet.....a lifestyle chage actually but with all the extreme stress it was just too hard and i had pretty much given up trying to force him to eat properly.

He woke up fine on Friday and except for the great amount of stress that he is under things were about as normal as they could be. Saturday he really seemed to be on an upswing. When he went to bed he complained of a headache but wouldn't let me take his blood pressure and blood sugar. Sunday rolled around and he was feeling pretty bad but didn't want to upset the traditional easter stuff. by Sunday evening he was very bad.

 I took his blood pressure and it was very high. 10 minutes later I took it again and it was even higher.

I took him to the hospital and they tried to get it down for 9 hours. It kept going up despite all their efforts. Finally HE asked for Ashley and I to pray for him. We laid hands on him and within minutes it had started to come down. OF COURSE, the doctor said it was the medication not anything else. But I know and Jess knows and Ashley knows it was God.

After a stay in the hospital he is feeling better and is determined to stay the course. The doctor told him he was very lucky to be alive.

Poor Ashley was so distraught. She wanted to stay at the hospital with us but after they moved him to a room she couldn't stay. The night crew had let her stay in with us. She did not want to go with her sister but knew that it would not be for long. So she did not complain.

We have so much to be thankful for. Because we know that this too shal pass.

NOW we have to get back into school. That is going to take some effort on my part cause I am really tired and would just like to garden but we Must get out the MUS and probably even the Miquion. i am not too surethat I will get too much else done we may just sit together and read today. I missed reading with her. and she is pretty clingy right now. Poor baby, it is very hard for her. She will learn more about trusting in the lord from this is my prayer.

Dear Lord,

Thank You that Jess has come through this. Thank you for the gift of my husband.  Thank You for the new life that You have given. Lord help us to learn and understand the lessons that are in this situation.

In Jesus' Name I pray

Amen
