It has been one of those days...when you wonder just how far life is going to push you! I've been hoping it isn't over the edge today. So many little challenges have been going on all day long, that I've stopped trying to make sense of it all, and just thank God for seeing me through one more day. I know there are lessons here, I'm sure. It's just a little hard figuring them out with so much going on.

Amber had to go to the emergency room this evening. First off....it wasn't serious. But the poor thing was trying to help Mike and I out, by making us dinner, and accidentally burned her hand pretty badly. I still don't have an update on how it's going down there. I stayed with her for a little while, until Zac came with Ethan. Then I volunteered to take Ethan home to see Papa McSheehy. Zac just picked him up and Amber was the next to be seen at the ER. The dinner was yummy, although I'm sure that doesn't make Amber's hand feel any better. ;)

Mike isn't feeling well. He is having trouble breathing today. We're concerned that the fluid building up in his lungs has increased. He didn't want to call the doctor today, so that may be what we're doing first thing tomorrow morning. It doesn't seem like we're getting many days in a row of Mike feeling good. That ominous cloud seems to be hovering over our shoulder. The weight of it all is just a little heavy tonight. I miss days of just planning a vacation, or even repainting a room just for the fun of it. Life hasn't been the same in two years, and the future can be too scary to imagine.

I would appreciate your continued prayers for Mike, for Amber, for me and my family. Thank you for never tiring of me asking you this.
