Out of Sorts around here

It started on Saturday. A deep, heavy cloud like feeling came over me as I was making breakfast. I started to cry and kept crying all day long. I couldn't explain why, to my frustrated husband. The crying has stopped but the cloud is still hovering. Charlie's niece, Shelley, is very ill. She was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had a lung transplant 4 years ago. She was pretty healthy after that until February, when Drs. discovered she was experiencing chronic rejection. Her health started a rapid decline after that, and now she has a lung infection and experienced a stroke on Sunday night. Shelley is hospitalized in southern California. We are very worried for her and her family. We know that God is with us and Shelley. We are confident that a miracle can happen. It's been very difficult to go through the day to day motions of life the last 2 days. We sit on pins and needles and jump when the phone rings, expecting the worst. Please pray for Shelley and her family (Kylie - her daughter - Jim, Linda - her parents-, Tami (sister), Clyde, Ally, Jason, Erin (sister) and Isabella). They need strength to get them through these tough days.

Grace is pretty sick, too. The poor thing has a high fever, sore throat and a headache. We're waiting for the results of a strep test to come back tomorrow.
