Oh I feel faint

The past few days have been full of surprises.  Starting with Friday, Cottonwood called me at work to let me know Ki had a 101 fever and that we needed to come pick him up.  KC brought him to his pediatrician and was diagnosed with a bronchial virus that was contagious!  And, he's still taking meds for his ear infections.  He's such a trooper!  His fever came down and he was back at Cottonwood on Monday.

Over the weekend, my ongoing battle with my sinuses worsened.  I really needed to go into the office Monday morning, so I thought I would stick it out.  Around noon I was meeting with a coworker going over some open items on the Trinity Christian College project I'm working on.  Suddenly I got really warm and started to shed my scarf.  I told Andrew I needed to go sit down - so I'm walking toward the couches and collapsed in the doorway, briefly blacking out.  I was relieved it wasn't as dramatic as it has been in the past when I pass out.  Anyway, so Lydia took me home and I slept for 3 hours.

I went to the doctor today.  She gave me something for a sinus infection (again).  She also did an EKG to make sure my heart looked good, and it does.  And, she's doing some blood testing to check my thyroid and to make sure I'm not anemic.  I was not really expecting all that, but I'm grateful she's the doctor and not me.

The rest of the day was so relaxing.  KC drove me downtown to get the Focus.  Lydia and Peter weren't about to let me drive home on Monday.  At first Peter asked if I had eaten anything, had anything to drink - and then he asked me if I was pregnant!  I thought that was funny - and no, I'm not.  And yes, I had a bagel, but not much to drink.  After dropping off the Focus at the shop... we stopped at the Grandville library for CD's, DVD's and books.  I adore the Grandville library.  I can't wait for Spring so I can walk there with Ki and get fresh produce from the farmer's market.

And, here's a sweet picture of my baby in my new Puj Go Sling.  I look pretty ridiculous, but I love how cuddly Ki is.
Love, Amy

Michael Jason

Today is my brother's 8th heaven birthday. KC, Ki and I bought 3 stems of roses from Hudsonville floral and brought them to his tree outside Beets/Veenstra at Calvin. KC and I talked about our last memories of him on the way there. I can't wait to see him again someday. His plaque has Lamentations 3: 22-23 written on it.

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I went through my little Mike box and found this birthday card that he gave me when I turned 21. A true Calvinist. I don't know why Blogger is rotating this?!



I love you Michael!

Aqua Dot

This Tie Chair would be really handy for traveling. I love the aqua/brown and green/white ones with polka dots. There are no retailers in Michigan though - next sewing project?! I'm thinking about sewing window treatments sometime this year too, so since I'll have the sewing machine out... Just the beginning of my great sewing ambitions for 2010.
