So, I'm still sick and actually worse than before. I've been spending large parts of the past several days in bed or on the couch. I'd appreciate your prayers that I would fight this bug off soon. My mom and and Britt have both had something that appears to be similar to what I have. It's kind of mono-like and you feel sick for a long time---Britt is on her 25th day! Eeek...not fun!
My husband is my hero. He's been cleaning the house up and cooking and has basically told me that I am to go to work if I feel up to it and then come home and rest the remainder of the day and not to worry about errands and dinners and cleaning unless I have the energy. That is very helpful to me because I always have trouble laying on the couch watching movies when I feel like I should be doing productive things! He's put up with my tossing and turning every night---when I'm sick I also have the tendency to mumble and moan in my sleep, apparently. And yet, he won't let me sleep on the couch and he tucks me back into bed every morning when he leaves for work. He's the best! I'm so lucky to have him to take care of me. ...he also surprised me with new shoes...that always helps! I'll try to post a picture of them sometime soon.
So, again, please pray--especially that my energy level goes up and also that I quit feeling sick to my stomach. (I haven't felt much like eating and after a few days of that, I tend to become rather skeletal...not good!) Thanks friends!
ps...happy late 19th birthdays to my dear friends, Hadiford Harrington and Loo Ping! When you're 19, you get to...um...you just wish you were turning 21 instead. (That's the 19 year old secret!) I love you both!

Hmmmmm, sick to your stomach, tired, generally not feeling well? I've felt like that a few times in my life... I felt better once the baby was born though.
Hey Mindy,
Im sorry you're still sick. I was sick all last week and still am trying to fight it off completely. I know not only is it no fun being sick...but it can also be frustrating and discouraging...especially when you start to feel better...then it hits you again. Ill be praying for you!
that is NOT the 19 year old secret. as you well know.
i hope you feel better.
watch You've Got Mail and eat some posh
I will be praying for you Mindy. Have you gone to the doctor yet? It seems like it has been hanging on for quite awhile. Maybe Judy could be on to something???
Thanks for praying everyone. I think the worst is over, I've been able to go to work and eat, so now I'm just tired. My mom appears to have the same thing---our symptoms are very similar. We even both had severe stomach pains (so bad we thought of going to the ER) the same night. Wierd. But anyhow, she went to the Dr. the other day and is waiting for test results so I've decided to wait and see what they tell her since I might have the same thing. (Plus I hate spending money at the Dr) Oh and Jen and Judy...I was wondering the same thing you two were, though it would be highly unlikely. But it doesn't seem that that is the reason. I'm just sick for the sake of being sick I guess!
Mindy, I am glad to hear that you are feeling a little better! Keep us updated! Would you and Tyler care to get together one night if you are not feeling yucky that is? Dave and I are going to be visiting the week of Nov.11th-16th. We would love to see the new Mr.& Mrs. Shaw if you have time. We could also do coffee or lunch!
Let me check with him, but I'm sure we'd love to! I'll let you know for sure once we've checked our calendars. Sounds fun!
