YUCK!!!!

I woke up at 5am this morning with the worst sore throat and chest cold. No fun at all. I had a throat swab done and do not have strep so it is likely a viral infection so I will have to rest, drink plenty of fluids and wait it out. I hate being sick.




This last couple days/weeks/months I have been very concerned for two of my friends who both could use our thoughts and definitely our prayers.
My friend, Debbie from Rhode Island is fighting a terrible disease, ALS and is presently getting hospice care because her breathing and mobility is not good. Debbie as well as her sister, Laurie are very special scrapbook friends I met on the internet and we have kept in touch for many years. It has been a few years since I was in Rhode Island when I got to meet them in person, what a fun time we had. My heart breaks for both of them having to go through this emotional ride of this devastating disease. Please pray also for Linda, Bert, Michael and Matt (Debbie's Mom, husband, son and nephew). Love you both very much Debbie & Laurie! Hang in there!
I also ask that you pray for my friend, Joan who was diagnosed with uterine cancer and underwent a hysterectomy a few weeks ago. She has now been called in to see an oncologist for chemo and radiation. Needless to say she is a bundle of nerves about all the uncertainty this disease brings.
My heart weighs heavy for both of them.
