The one advantage of the maddening itch of this extreme case of contact dermatitis I'm battling is that it has given me a chance to blog a little in the wee hours of the morning while I wait for the latest dose of Benadryl to knock me back out.
The unfortunate results of my now-blistering allergic reaction include my loss of sleep, my forfeiture of a few hours of my aunt's company, and a need to call my doctor early in the morning to find out what he wants to do for me. This is so bad he may want me to come in for a shot, I think. I have never had so bad a case of this before, and I don't seem able to think of anything else.
Still, I want to give thanks for the wonderful company we had over the weekend, and lift up prayers for those whom I know need it. I'm so grateful that the Bryans were interested in buying our concert tickets; even though I would have liked to give them to them, it was nice to recoup most of our investment in them. I'm hopeful that Cathy will experience the healing she needs, either miraculously or medically. Her surgery is scheduled just past mid-June.
Cassie and Nic's friend who was injured in Afghanistan is apparently back in ICU following a seizure. What a tough road he and his family have already traveled, and there are still more challenges ahead for them.
And Lord, on a much smaller note, if you would please provide healing for this allergic reaction in the way that best glorifies you, I will be sure as always to share the wonderful thing you have done for me. For I know that your love makes the worthless precious, and the mundane glorious.
