Happenings

Well, since my spinal tap on Monday, a lot has happened..... ok, maybe not a lot, but I thought I'd update you anyways.

On Tuesday, I came down with a spinal headache. This is caused by the spinal tap procedure, and is probably because of a little bit of fluid leaking out. After a couple calls to the hospital, they told me to wait a week, and then if it's still hurting they would do what they call a blood patch to fix it. They told me to call my doctor in Philly and see if she would give me something to get through the weekend. Her advice was to drink LOTS of Gatorade and at least 2 cups of coffee a day, and to stay on my back as much as I could. Well, having a 2 year old.... you know how that last part held up. To help you imagine what a spinal headache feels like, take the worst headache you've ever had and that's what you feel everytime you're sitting or standing..... and it lasts for a week before they try to fix it. Laying down helps a little, but it still is pretty bad. So I may be going into the hospital again tomorrow to have the blood patch procedure done, but I guess we'll wait and see how the spinal HA is going.

Anyways, enough of the dreary news.... a little bit of good news. We went and looked at a house on Friday, thinking that we were going to put an offer on it.... but because of various reasons, we didn't. We did however go back to a house we had seen and put an offer on before, and decided to put another offer on it. This time it got ACCEPTED! WOOHOO! So provided all goes well with the loans, etc.... in about 45-60 days or so, we'll be home owners in the Callaway, VA area. And, bonus, the house is only a mile from my parents. So now when I need help with Mia, noone has to drive an hour to Radford and back to get her. This is exactly what I prayed for, and God is opening the doors for us. He's SO GOOD!
