peaceful sunday..thankful for prayers

today was had a peaceful sunday afternoon and evening..i KNOW its because you all ready my last few posts and started praying like crazy!!! well i have to say it TOTALLY worked!! even though i only slept for an hour after church today..i KNOW without a doubt it was because of the prayers in my behalf that gave me the strength, courage, peace, soft spokenness, old christina back!!! THANK YOU!! i felt more like myself then i ever have in the past 9 weeks..
after dinner we wheeled jon into the family room so the girls took turns sitting in bed with him..it was soo cute!

sadly..jon says the burning pain is actually getting worse now..he's not sure if its his bowels causing problems or the new effexor..he told me earlier it was really low..we seem to think that when his bowels give him issues..thats when the pain comes..yesterday and today he had really good bowel programs..so tomorrow i feel will be a real good test to see how he's doing..if the effexor really IS helping or ISNT helping..it will have been 3 days he's been on the effexor so we should know soon enough..

physical therapy is FINALLY coming tomorrow at 12noon..so we'll see how that goes for him..i feel like he's gone backwards because he hasnt done it for over a week now..

today as i was helping him undress..i couldnt help but notice just how much weight he's lost..it makes me just want to cry...i cant believe it can go SOOOO fast..i worry about it soo much...he DOES thankfully eat EVERYTHING we give him..and he does feel hunger now..anyway - to see your spouse change like that SO fast..its a bit to handle..im just SOOOO grateful that it doesnt get to him..this whole thing doesnt get to him..im amazed when he says "im almost excited for this trial to see what is in store for me and my family!"...it leaves me speechless!! i dont think thats something i'd EVER say!! he's just so awesome...how lucky i am to have someone like him..

tonite katrina came at 8pm to start working..she told me that for 24 hour care she charges 200 per day - YIKES!! so its gone from 150-200 now..UGH..so she said she's here till tuesday nite at 8pm when hopefully eunice will be back..she said that eunice will be able to do monday nite at 8pm- saturday nite at 8pm..then katrina could do saturday nite 8pm-monday nite at 8pm..we'll see how it goes..i REALLY need to work on finding something longggggg term...we cant keep paying this kind of money..in one hand i TOTALLY need this help..and the other hand its SOOO much money...i dont know quite what to do..
AGAIN if ANYBODY knows ANYONE who wants to live full time in our home for a few years- give me a call!!!

thank you again for all your prayers on our behalf..thank you for alllll the dinners, emails, cards, women helping with the girls, women helping to clean my house, women who are doing my laundry, those that are doing yard work, the pool, those that are helping to get us to church each sunday from now on, those that call before they head to the store, and a SPECIAL thanks to celesta for putting together and hosting rachel's surprise bday party and soon anna's princess bday party...i hope everyone has a friend like celesta has been to me!!

time for a good nites sleep!!
ps im going to try to see if jon will post his thoughts every few days and post them online for everyone to read..im sure your tired of hearing this whole trial one sided!!! ill work on that with him..
