Yesterday was a rough day for Wes. From the time he came home from dialysis he spent the day in bed. He got up a few times but every time he would get too hot and start sweating. We turned the air condition on by his bed and that is where he remained. It is rough hearing that the doctors don’t know the cause and do not have a solution to stop it from happening. The only thing Wes could find to control it was pain medicine. Every time he would begin to sweat he could feel the medicine kick in and stop it but he does not want to continue pain medicine for that. Wes had a good nights sleep and so far is having a fair day today.
Last night we allowed the kids to have some friends over. They had a blast! We added 5 more kids to our home and they had fun playing in the sand box and on the swing set, playing Wii, trading Pokemon, running all around, creating their own games, having dinner together and ending the night with a huge water fight. We plan to see them all again today at the school fair. They have already asked if they can do it again today.

PS. People have been asking about Wes’ earlier post about his medicine. We just want to let everyone to know that it is not because of money reasons, but because of insurance. We are now getting the generic version it just took too long to process and Wes was going with nothing. One of our friends stopped by and gave us some of the non-generic, with doctor approval, thanks Barb.
Wes,
I am continuing to pray for this “journey” that you and your family are taking. Many thanks to you and Karen for so openly sharing your thoughts/feelings as you move along. They have been for me (as for many others it seems) a source of significant insight and encouragement.
Gob bless you.

In a world of fear and turmoil, in a race that seems so hard to run. Lord, I need Thy rich infilling, even so, Lord Jesus come. Even so, Lord Jesus come. My heart doth long for Thee; Though I’ve failed and betrayed Thy trust, even so, Lord Jesus come. When my eyes shall span the river. When I gaze into the vast unknown. May I say with calm assurance, “Even now, Lord Jesus, come.” Even so, Lord Jesus come. My heart doth long for Thee; Though I’ve failed and betrayed Thy trust. Even so Lord Jesus come.
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely, I come quickly…Rev.22:20.
God is so good in providing Wes with the medication as He did. It is also good to know that the kids are able to fellowship with other children, and possibly create relationships where they can share their faith as well. Whenever I think my physical ailments are getting me down, I pray for you guys and take a different look at my life.
