Our precious little boy has not been wanting to fall asleep.  It is now 10:26 and he fell asleep about 10 minutes ago after being in his bed since 8:30.  He is restless and just tosses, turns and cries when no one is in the room with him.  This is all new.  He had been doing beautifully falling asleep quickly before we came back from Paradise.  I know he’s young, but I believe he knows that something is going on.  He just senses it, and I couldn’t pick him up for over a week, which made both him and me sad.  He has been learning about his emotions and tells us he’s scared when we go in after he’s been crying for a while.  We have had many visitors, and he gets nervous we’re going to leave him whenever someone comes to the door.  Not only is he not going to sleep at night, but he’s getting up around 6:20 each morning.  An hour earlier than before.  I know some of you are probably saying “I wish my child would sleep that long”, but we are just worried about the changes in his sleep patterns.  He’s cutting it short at both ends.   We just want to lift his little spirit up in prayer.

Thanks,

Monica

Today started with sleeping in.  Thanks, Sol!  I started to move and felt some pain in my abdomen.  Thinking it was just gas, I headed for the restroom.  I spent a good deal of time in there emptying my bowels.  Only after feeling it was safe to leave the restroom, I headed back to bed with some lingering abdominal pain.  I stayed in bed, sleeping off and on for a few hours.  When I got out of bed, a little after 11:00, I couldn’t believe how much better I felt.  Praise!

Later in the afternoon, we went looking at houses.  Prices are coming down, and it’s starting to get a little encouraging!  We may even be able to buy a house in a decent neighborhood.  🙂

During the day, I received news of the passing of a friend’s darling husband. It is so heartbreaking and sad. Please pray for her as she deals with this terrible loss and emptiness in her life.

I received a phone message the other day, and it brought me to tears.  Someone I recently met, Patty, called to tell me that she had emailed the Angels on my behalf telling them about my missing the game.  They emailed her back offering me tickets to a home game of my choice!  How amazing is that?  It makes me want to go out and buy some Angel’s gear to wear to the game.  So on August 13th, I’ll be sporting red at the Angel’s game against the Mariners!  So fun!

Patty, thank you so much for doing something so unexpected and blessing me this way.   I’ll have to add it to the long list of things that people have done to bless me and my family.  God has brought such amazing people along side of me during this time, thank you all!

Thank you for all of your prayers.  I was blessed with absolutely no side-effects today.  Sol, my wonderful husband, let me stay in bed while he got up with Kai and got him ready and off to school.  It was just what the doctor ordered.  I woke up around 11:30, and felt great!

So I believe that Avastin is the culprit for all of the side-effects last week.  I’ll be having Avastin every other week, so that is something to really pray about for next week.  I don’t want to end up in the ER again, so I’d covet any prayers sent up for me!

Love,

Monica
