Well, that just about sums it up. WHAM and just like that we all had the flu which we got through after only a few days, then coasted along for a few days still not 100% but functional. Obviously, too lucky to be done with the flu that easy -- so here come the next go around with the flu and what a WHAMMY that's been. I've been hit harder than I have been in years now it seems. And the rest of the kiddos are just coming into the second part of this sickness so they've still got the worst parts approaching in the days to come. Fabian doesn't get hit hard by sickness (or that's how it's been since we've been home), so I'm hoping he can ride it out. He was sniffling and sneezing a bit all day and having chills late in the evening tonight. I still struggle with trying to keep both Fabian and Karen out of the baby's area when they are sick, or vice versa. We never quite figured out how to explain GERMS to our spanish speakers, and I'm constantly on them about this very thing. I think when I feel better I'll research on the computer how to teach my children about germs and how to curb sickness. That's probably the one thing I struggle to emphasize to my children, and they have made great strides, yes they have, but I really think we can rise above this one with the proper training. They love to wash their hands so we are very fortunate for that. Just some fine tuning and a little explanation of what germs are, how they spread, etc.
I'll write more when I'm feeling better and I would covet any prayers for our family in restoring our health back to normal. Being a single mom (essentially because Rick's gone for another few weeks) during this sickness has been so trying at times. Thankfully God gives just enough to me every day to make it through. And I have to say that I'd be lost without Marissa's help. She's just a divine helper and a wonderful daughter. We're blessed in so many ways!
Goodnight everyone. Just a little something before I sign off, I must say how proud I am of Mario Chalmers, the Kansas Jayhawk player who won the Most Outstanding Player award and hit the 3 pointer that advanced Kansas into overtime tonight. Mario is from Anchorage and it's great to see local Alaskan talent do so well. Much deserved and what an amazing game! Way to go Jayhawks and way to go Super Mario!

Praying for all of you. Being sick is no fun, but when everyone is sick it's really no fun!
Glad you find the time to post. I really enjoy following along.

Know that we are praying for all of you. Get well!
You've been on my heart to pray for, now I know why! We've been slammed with sickness too since we've been home. I'll be praying for all of you, Lord cleanse the house of germs, and put a healing touch on Genece and the children. Strengthen her my Your mighty hand to minister to her family.
Blessings to your family on a speedy recovery from all of the ailments surrounding you. Also, as a Jayhawk alumni, THANK YOU for giving Mario to us! I am ecstatic and celebrating our National Championship--Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

My prayers are with you Genece! I got slammed with a 24 hour flu last week - high fever, chills, aches & pains and I had the kids on my own that day until about 8:00 pm b/c Robert had lots of work. I barely made it to then and had already text messaged him to let him know he was on bedtime duty. I can only imagine that not having that back-up available for days at a time is especially difficult when you yourself are sick! Praying for healing for you all!
