I've been fighting a cold for 3 weeks now.  Last night I was so sick I finally went to the doctor and tested positive for strep throat.  Today it looks like Rowan has it as well as Staci our babysitter/adopted daughter.  Please pray for all of us that now that we're on antibiotics we'll see a significant improvement.  Also be praying for me.  I'm supposed to be teaching a class all morning every day Birch is gone but obviously had to cancel today.  The biggest problem is two of our short-termers traveled all the way from Maine and Pennsylvania to take it and because of flight tickets can not delay their return by much.  Pray that I feel well enough that we are able to complete the course before they have to leave.
