I would appreciate your prayers today. For the last few days I have had some stomach issues that are not getting better. I have had to make frequent visits to the bathroom during the night (as well as throughout the day) and have not had much sleep lately. I was still able to function with that going on, but today I developed a cold/sinus problem. Although I have had a lot of time to rest today, I have not been able to sleep because of a very bad stuffy nose, ear ache and headache, despite taking medication. The addition of the second problem has gotten me down. I feel really discouraged. I have had stomach problems on and off for the past two months and am just really tired of feeling sick. I feel like I am on the verge of tears. I'm sure that is from the lack of sleep. If I could get sleep, I'm sure I will feel better. Being sick here is not fun. And I feel guilty about not being 100% for to help the ministry.
It looks like I will be going to Nairobi for a break on June 23rd. There is a team flying in that I will take their plane back to Nairobi. I am bummed I'll be missing time with a team, but some will still be here when I return. The good thing about me going now is I will be able to see a doctor and have tests done to see if I have any problems. It's possible I have an amoeba that just needs medication to get rid of. So, please pray that I will get better so or that June 23 comes quickly. It seems so far away and I really want to see the doctor so I can feel better.
I just re-read this and I sound like such a baby! I'll be fine, but I could use your prayers so I won't feel so discouraged.

Stace! You're not a baby. You know I know the stomach issue thing all too well... Oh, number 3........ I hope you will be encouraged! I hope you'll get some relief soon from that cold. I have had one this last two weeks, too. Try to elevate your head some while you sleep. It may help... I'm now picturing you trying to hold your head above your pillow, as in hovering, while trying to fall asleep. Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI am taking care of quail this weekend. Weirdest housesitting yet. I'm taking hatchlings from an incubator and putting them in a bin with a heat lamp. Then I have to turn over 100 eggs twice a day. I'm a farmer! With this comes taking dead or nearly dead babies and throwing them in a bin. I'm not cut out for taking the nearly dead out...
Praying for sure. Hope you heal so you don't have to leave. Love to you.
