fun friends!

I don't really have anything to share. I am still sick, vomiting frequently... like, a lot of times per day. My weight stays the same as long as I do the IV fluids. If I miss a day of IVs, I drop an automatic 2-3 pounds. My pain comes and goes... some days are worse than others--today has been pretty bad.

I'm having lots of fun with friends, and doing my best to make laughter an important part of my day. I'm trusting that God is helping me truly understand "joy in the midst of suffering". I believe He's also teaching us about patience.

We have some friends visiting--which is lots of fun! They headed up to Whistler today, and should have a couple of fun days snowboarding. I'm hanging out at home with some other friends, and trying not to think of all the boarding I'm missing out on because I'm barfing.

We're really excited for Christmas and all of the fun that the holiday season brings. In the meantime, we're enjoying Advent, and pondering Jesus coming again.

Lots of joy to you all.

It was good to see you all on Wednesday! Brelin, I'm amazed at how strong you are! If it were me, I'd be a puddle on the floor...
Stay strong, keep smiling and keep trusting God! We love you!
