It's Just One Crazy Week. . Is It Over Yet?

After spending pretty much every day since Sunday in the hospital ICU waiting room, I realized tonight that I didn't know what day it was. I also didn't know any of the latest news. I haven't accomplished much at home, nor have I cooked a meal. WOW! Where have I been?

I have been with my sister and family as we wait and watch and pray for her son Colton (15 years old). He is very sick with Pneumonia, Sepsis and ARDS. He is in an extremely fragile state and so our life is pretty much on hold so that we can be near him as he fights for his life. Every prayer we can get in his behalf will help!

In the meantime, enjoy some funny hospital humor courtesy of Keeping Apace.
