I'm not sure what is going on with Blogger....the pictures are doing weird things. I don't feel like trying to guess what's going on, so I will try again real soon, I promise! I've got some great pictures of Easter I want to post. All is well with us. Hard to believe March is almost over already!
A good friend of ours, Mandy Baumgarten, was diagnosed with leukemia and is in the hospital in Pheonix undergoing chemo. It is a very agressive form of cancer, and she was pregnant when she found out she had it, so there will not be a baby. It was not an option for her to wait the nine months before starting treatment. She wouldn't have made it. She is doing very well and is very optomistic about it, but my heart just breaks for her and her family. She is in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for a speedy recovery.
Also, our friends Brian and Sarah Thompson's little girl, Calla, is in the hospital with RSV. It has now turned into pneumonia. She is also in our prayers.
Al is no longer in nursing school. He started a full-time job in Waukee three weeks ago, and really seems to like it. He is doing collection work, but it is with a smaller company. So far it seems to be going really well.
Becky ended up with another ear infection. I thought she might have one as she was waking up in the middle of the night. On the 17th, she went to the doctor. I was right. She got some new medicine, that tastes a lot better than the stuff she had last time, and an appointment to go back in a month to try to figure out if it's gone or if we need to consider getting a tube put back in her left ear. The doctor said we may also do a hearing test just to make sure her eardrum hasn't been damaged. I'm afraid we shouldn't wait a month. She was just messing with her ear tonight and telling Mommy it hurt. Trying to figure out if she's for real or if her molars (which still haven't officially come in) are just causing pain radiating up into her ear. Oh...the guessing game of being a parent!
Guess there has been a lot going on. Have just been too busy to take the time to post, I guess. In fact, I should be working on a transcript right now, but I just had to post about Mandy. She is in my thoughts and I wanted everyone to know so they could say a prayer for her as well.
I will get Easter pictures posted this weekend if not before, so make sure to check back!

Thanks for the prayers for Calla. She's slowly getting better it's just hard to see your little baby in the hospital like that and have nothing you can do. The power of prayer really helps so we'll be sure to keep your friend Mandy in ours as well.
where in Waukee is Al working??
