The roller coaster ride...

Yesterday Bethany wore flip flops to school. This morning at 5:10 am I got a "flash alert" text that school had been cancelled for the day, yet there was no snow on the ground whatsoever. By 9 am the ground was covered in white and it was coming down pretty hard. On Sunday it's supposed to be back in the upper 60's and sunny which will feel more like the 70's in Colorado. It's been a roller coaster ride...sort of how our whole month has gone in so many ways.
Amy's blood work shows that she's perfectly normal (although Laura says she knows otherwise!) She's never had mono, which is one thing we thought just might show up. Nothing. So now we wait and see if she still gets random, unexplained fevers. If so, she'll see an infectious disease specialist over the summer. If not, we assume the "psychotic lymph node" was the problem and pronounce her cured now that it's been removed. It's a waiting game. One thing I DO know...she doesn't have cancer! Even with the waiting game, we know it could be so much worse. For now we'll just take things one day at a time and try to find the silver lining in the gift of each day.
For those of you who are praying for my friends on their various mission trips in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, please don't let up! The ones in the DR ran into some not so friendly locals but were successful in talking their way out of what could have been an ugly situation. And one of my friends on the team in Haiti had a cinderblock dropped on his hand and has a broken finger. Satan is trying to disrupt their work, but they're all protected by the armor of God and we're so grateful for the coverage they feel from everyone's prayers.
Laura is home for 2 more days and Bethany's spring break started early with the gift of a snow day. We're all going to take a deep breath and just try to relax a bit before the roller coaster takes us for another ride! As my mom likes to say "life is what happens when you're planning something else."
