Over the weekend as we were preparing for the Easter Egg Hunt, Melissa kept saying she was in severe pain in her back. But, she just thought she had pulled a muscle running around and being so busy. But, Monday came, and although, she would put ice and heat on, there would be no improvements. By Tuesday she could barely move and then she came up with a rash on her stomach. She went to the Dr.'s and she has shingles... Shingles is very painful and because it is across her belly and back it is painful to sit, it is painful to stand, it is painful to lie down, so it is very hard for her to get comfortable. They have given her codeine to take away the pain but, when she takes it , she just sleeps all day. The good news is, it is a public holiday here till Tuesday. So, pray that she can recover and be able to go back to work next week. The bad news is, the kids are home every day as well because it is a public holiday. Pray that she would get some rest and recover. The Dr. Said it can take up to 7 weeks for pain to go away. That is an awful long time so, Melissa is a bit nervous and worried. So, please pray that this would heal up quickly. They also gave her an antibiotic to help clear up the spots.
To top it all off the kids and myself have a head cold. So, everyone in our house is feeling a bit under the weather. Please pray that God would watch over our family and heal us!
