Contrary to popular belief (and the way I’ve felt over the last 5-days) – I’M NOT DEAD.

Sure my throat is still “tender” (by “tender” I mean that I feel as though I have to swallow through two tennis balls each time I swallow), my stomach is still “upset” (by “upset” I mean – you should’ve seen me hurl in the Doctor’s office sink on Monday!), my ears still feel “full” (by “full” I mean that I would probably be a dozen pounds lighter if the junk in my ears was no longer with me.)

But – after all of those “symptoms” and Doctor’s diagnosis of the “big three”: bronchitis, pharyngitis (what is this?), and now tonsilitis – I am beginning to feel better!

Seriously – after these numerous days of little more than watching the Spanish daytime soap operas (kidding!) and sleeping on the too-short-for-Stevan couch, I am finally finding myself sitting at the desk and typing away at the keyboard!

Sure I’m coughing up a “friend” every now and then, but who doesn’t need a friend to watch float down the sink every once-in-a-while (the mental picture there is something, isn’t it?)

So, please keep praying for “Sick Stevan” and PLEASE keep praying for his wonderful wife, Jessica and their baby who are both doing marvelously!

Back to the couch…

No, we don’t have water breakage yet. We did, however spend a little time at the hospital. Diagnosis: Stevan has bronchitis. Remedy – antibiotics, Vicodin, and plenty of rest.

Seriously, Stevan is “down for the count” this time with bronchitis and pharyngitis. The drugs are doing their job, however, and Stevan is resting well. Sadly, he has been ordered NOT to attend services at church tomorrow. Thankfully there were plenty of helpful Warsaw Wesleyan’s to pick up the slack!

Jess is absolutely amazing – taking care of her sickly husband while carrying their baby as well!

Pray for both of us!

Happy April Fool’s Day! (be sure to read this post in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer to “get” the joke.)
