I'm really, really tired. My weekend went by in a blur of breathing over boiling pots of water, aspiring saline solution and even putting drops in my ears... that is how congested I am. On the upside, if my sinuses don't clear up after so much steam at least my face pores will! At any rate I will see the doctor on Wednesday when I'll either be cured or worse! Oh well... Ben has kept things running as much as possible considering the usual busy-ness of the weekends and we were blessed to have someone bring us dinner on Saturday which was plenty to have again yesterday. My few hours at home have been spent trying to figure out what to do to relieve the discomfort. It is a beautiful day outside and I am not myself... as much as I want to bring Elena out to enjoy the day my face, literally, hurts to the touch and I can't do it... that is annoying. But as I said, I shall soon be better and in the meantime I am forced to keep everything low key. I appreciate all the encouragement that I've received the past few days, I appreciate every one of you who has taken the time to pray for us and drop us a phone call or a few lines of encouragement. Please know that though my energy and patience are running low due to my physical current discomfort my faith is still resting in the only One who can really bring comfort to my heart. I have learned to understand that He will, indeed, provide for our every need and that if anything hasn't yet been provided it must be that I don't really need it as much as I think I do. Thanks for your prayers, please keep them going as they will undoubtedly help keep me going! Love to all!

Estoy muy, muy cansada. Mi fin de semana se me fue en una nebulosa de estar respirando sobre ollas de agua hirviendo, aspirando solución salina y hasta echándome gotas en los oídos porque así de congestionada estoy. Por lo menos sé que si no se me alivia la sinusitis, tendré el cutis limpio después de tanto vapor. Tengo cita con el doctor el miércoles y para entonces espero estar curada o peor... en fin. Ben ha tratado de mantener el flujo normal del apartamento tanto como ha sido posible considerando lo ocupados que son los fines de semana para nosotros, pero tuvimos la bendición de que alguien nos trajo cena el sábado en la noche que nos alcanzó para la comida de ayer. Mis pocas horas en casa se me han ido tratando de aliviar los malestares de una u otra manera. Es un día precioso y yo no estoy en mi humor normal... tanto como quisiera sacar a Elena a disfrutar del día, literalmente me duele la cara con sólo tocarla y eso sí es un poco desesperante. Pero como dije antes, pronto estaré mejor y para mientras me veo obligada a mantenerme tranquila. Muchas gracias por todo el apoyo que he recibido en estos últimos días, sepan que aprecio cada oración que han hecho por nosotros, cada llamada y cada línea de ánimo que nos han llegado. Por favor sepan que aunque mi paciencia y mi energía están escasas gracias a la incomodidad física que enfrento mi fe sigue descansando en el Único que puede traer paz a mi corazón. He aprendido que Él, en realidad, provee para toda mi necesidad y que si algo no ha sido provisto es porque probablemente no lo necesito tanto como creía. Gracias por sus oraciones, por favor manténganlas fluyendo pues sin duda alguna me mantendrán a mí mientras me mejoro. ¡Con mucho amor a todos!

I am so sorry to hear of your situation. I remember when Rick had sinus infections he found relief from drinking water with lemon juice - lots and lots, one glass after another. He limited his food to yogurt and a whole grain cereal as well. In a couple of days he was startgin to sense relief and was able to avoid antibiotics. So I wanted to let you know in case you want to give it a whirl.
Will be praying for you!
I'm sorry it's a rough go right now. Know I'm praying! Love you ~
Que sigas mejor mamita, he conocido gente con sinusitis y he visto como sufre, pero para Dios no hay nada imposible y le pido que ponga su mano de sanidad sobre ti y que el baby en camino este perfecto. Te mando un abrazote y Dios sigue estando en control de todo lo que les pasa a ustedes y a su alrededor. Claudia
Well, in spite of all your current ailments, I'm glad to read that you are giving yourself a chance to grow through it all. Plus, I liked how you found a creative way of nursing your sinus problem..... (by way of using hot water to open your pores-- very cute!) I am certainly not the type of person to handle these sorts of things in a mature way. In other words, YOU have been a trooper-- where as I, would have been a big baby, and griping throughout the whole ordeal. I am such a wuss with sickness.... maybe because I barely ever get sick. Perhaps I only get sick at least once a year! God has given me a very good immune system. I don't even suffer from (seasonal) allergies! Try to enjoy the weather as much as possible!
