Dr. appointment...

Tuesday, we drove the 6 hour drive to Mankato for Isaac's doctor appointment. We borrowed Kevin's parent's car and it was comfortable and quiet and really good on gas! His appointment went well. Dr. K. has a lot of experience with Ulcerative Colitis. He walked us through his labs and it shows he is inflamed, not too badly but that something is going on. We've seen improvement so I hope the inflammation is on the way out. We do labs next week to monitor what's happening so please pray for great improvement! Again, it has been disappointing to go through this setback. Isaac is very discouraged and had a hard night last night accepting it. He woke happy and hasn't been down today, for that I am thankful.

Poor Kev went to get some milk and dropped the jar on the tile floor. Crash went the jar and nearly a gallon of milk everywhere. Thankfully, he is cleaning it up himself. I'm too tired to even think about it! The unfortunateness of using jars for everything. This is the third time it has happened.

I was tilling today and loaded up 4 wheelbarrows of horse manure and spread it on the part of the garden I have left to plant. It is new ground and needs to be raked clear of the grass clumps. I've been tilling it over and over hoping to avoid the raking part but it doesn't appear to be breaking them up too well. This morning Em and I spent three hours cleaning for a lady. I washed her windows outside and polished her cupboards while Em dusted and vacuumed. After a lot of late nights, long day yesterday and today's activities I am ready for bed. Thus, the reason I didn't help Kev clean up the jar. Thanks again for praying and thinking of us. Isaac could sure use some encouragement and of course we all would rejoice with his healing.
