Nora was not much better when I left, and was still quite unhappy and snotty this morning when we FaceTimed, but no more fever, and Matt is patiently loving on the two youngest girls with the help of PopPop....I'm so thankful.
Meanwhile, yesterday was a sweet day with my three nieces and my dear sister. Lily and I played lots of trains, wiped lots of faces (apparently our house hasn't been the only one struck with illness) and traded Adaly back and forth as much as we could :) She is so precious, and it is also wonderful to listen to Evie and Jayla and learn all their newest little antics!
It's also been a joy to spend this good time with Lily. Having this chance to hear her thoughts and concerns and joys and fears uninterrupted and focused has been rich, and I really am just so proud of the young woman she's becoming. She genuinely loves people, and I just don't get when she stopped being the little girl who needed so much help and guidance to this deep-thinking socialite.
Today Lisa's girls are all off for doctor's appointments, and I have a long-dreaded appointment with the oral surgeon, unable to safely put it off any longer. My two great fears are tooth issues and Gollum from the Lord of the Rings (well, and being cold), and I am *trying* hard to be thankful for this chance at good medical care, from a surgeon who has been great and works in Haiti several times a year. I'd rather do just about ANYTHING than have this work done.
Thank you for all your travel prayers and continued Nora prayers...I couldn't believe how many people on our flights were hacking and sneezing...it must just be flu season!!
