What A Week!!!

Actually the last couple of weeks haven't been the greatest! I was definitely not prepared for any of this, but I am thankful that God has given me a peace about everything and I know that eventually this will all pass.

It started last week... Tuesday to be exact. DH had to travel to out of town for a few days for some training for his job. He decided to take our car on Tuesday morning, return home that night and then leave again the next morning and travel with a few of the guys from work. They would stay over Wed night and return home Thursday night. And it all went according to plan except for on the way Tuesday morning (or sometime soon after) it was discovered that the passenger side rear tire was completely flat. Thankfully the instructor had some fix a flat or something similar and it worked well enough to get DH home.

Needless to say, I was left without a car over the next two days. We figured it would be ok to drive around town, but there was something deep down that told me not to. Wonder what it was??? :-) It was a good thing I was listening because after DH arrived back home and I picked him up after work, the tire was almost flat again. Luckily we made it to Walmart right before the auto center closed and got a new tire.

After all this, we wake up the next morning and DS is complaining of a sore throat. Then later that afternoon, DH gets sick as well. So to make a long story short, both were really sick over the weekend. DH was feeling a little bit better by Monday, but sadly DS developed a cough and has been coughing ever since.

And Tuesday... DH goes to work. Around 10:30 am he calls to check on us. Then he proceeds to tell me that a propane burner had just blew up in his face and he was headed to the emergency room. Luckily he wasn't hurt bad (it could have been so much worse!) and his lungs, nose, ears and throat were fine. His left eye did get burned, but according to the doctor, it should've healed itself over the following eight hours. I was a little bit nervous about seeing him, but it didn't look as bad as I thought. His hairline was singed a good bit on the left side as well as his eyebrows and his left eyelashes were burned off almost completely. But we are praising God because as I said earlier, it could've been a lot worse.

And on Wed morning, after DS had coughed most of the night, I wake up with a sore throat, stuffy ears and really congested. I decided not to give into it and carried on through the day as I normally do. Prayerfully I will be feeling a lot better tomorrow... or later today... and hopefully DS will, too. :-)
