Job search...Foot Infection...And brain surgery...OH MY!

It has been a very LONG time since I have posted... Life has been interesting around here for the last month and a half to say the least.

Scott is still in the process of looking for a job...

On July 4th Gabby injured her foot by hitting it on a dock post while swimming. It got infected which caused a lot of "excitement" because Teresa went into the hospital on the 5th of July and had brain surgery to have an abscess removed on July 6th.

This of course left Scott to take care of two pretty much incapacitated people. This also included giving Teresa intravenous antibiotics for the first month that she was home.

Thankfully our church family and our families helped out bringing meals and Teresa's mom came over and helped with house work and running errands.

Gabby's foot healed very well and she is up and about on it with out any problems.

Teresa had one set back on August 6th she went back into the hospital because she was running a fever again but it turned out to be "drug fever" which is when the body has an allergic reaction to the medication. So after running multiple tests they determined that she could go home and then that fevers were caused by the meds so they changed them.

Things seem to be going well again. We will keep you posted.

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us!
