Melissa has been fighting a staph infection the past few days. She had a high fever, but no other symptoms and her labs looked normal. But then blood cultures showed something, most likely staph. So she is on a strong iv antibiotic.
Last night her fever broke, which is hopefully a good thing.
Staph infection sounds horrible, but there's many different kinds, and as she has not been admitted to the hospital, we're hoping it's minor and over with quickly. It's one of those OMDTs. But we had a good time in prayer, and you always find the truth with Jesus; so often we fool ourselves, or we say things that aren't true to make others (and ourselves!) feel better. But the Psalms especially are honest about the battle and the fear and the trials-- and about God and His mercies, His grace, His ministries.
When I came in from prayer meeting last night, the boys were in bed, sort of. They had a lamp on and had my Willie Nelson song book out. “Sing us a song out of this book.” So I sang “Yesterday's Wine,” my favorite Willie song. Then “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” Then I went with some Bob Wills, “Still Waters,” “I Wonder if You Feel the Way I Do?” and ended with “Dusty Skies.” I could feel them fall asleep in my arms.
