Thursday

This is Cindy writing, and we are in Baltimore.  We left town about 5:45 and didn't have any problems getting out or making our connecting flight.  It sounds like it became much worse after we left.

Congratulations to my sister, Renae and her husband!  After four daughters, they were blessed with a baby boy yesterday.  He was an unexpected but wonderful surprise!  His name is Cole John.  My stinker sister told all of us that she had a girl shortly after birth.  An hour later we all received a text saying "after further inspection. . . and there was a picture of a little boy--surprise!

I am having quite a bit of pain in my abdomen now.  It is usually localized in one place, but that place moves around a bit, which is strange.  I've also noticed that my belly is swelling a bit which is also kind of odd.

We checked into a place just a block from the hospital so if the pain becomes intolerable it will be easy to put me in the wheelchair and go in through the ER. (It sounds like a big group is coming in Sunday so we will probably have to move, but we will deal with that later)  We are waiting right now to hear from the doctor's office to see if that is what he wants us to do anyway or if we should wait to see him tomorrow. We came here this time without a specific appointment time but just were very concerned that if we didn't get out here quickly that I wouldn't be up to travel.  They have been pretty workable so far, though.  I am so praying that they can get to the bottom of this quickly!

It is really hard being here again.  I am just so weary of it all.  Last night I told Kyle that I really just didn't want to go.  The kids have their concert tonight (which just is cancelled now for weather), recital tomorrow and it is Riley's birthday on Sunday.  Today is Kyle's birthday.  And here we are again.  I trust that the Lord's plan is right, but it sure is hard.  I hope there is an end to this soon.

Cindy & Kyle we prayed many times that the weather conditions would permit you to travel to Baltimore today; now we give thanks that you are there safely.
Right now Sioux Center and Sioux Falls are experiencing an old-fashioned snow storm. Travel is not advised. All the more reason to give thanks that you traveled when you did.
We continue to pray that the Drs. & staff at John Hopkins will understand and know how to treat the pain you experience.

Congratulations on being an aunt again. We are happy that your sister had a boy after four girls. That is really cool. We are very glad that you guys made it safely before the heavy snow started! Glad you are safely in Baltimore. May God bless your time there and guide the doctors to be able to help you!
