Please join me in prayer, friends.

Hey there, strangers. Remember me?? I'm the blogger that's seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth. Lately I have been avoiding making a post- but why?? I know that I could use the prayers. I know that I could use the encouragement. I know that I could use the support. I just don't know why I haven't been posting.

The labs came back from my last culture and, as much as I hate to say it, it's MRSA again. I can't help but wonder why I'd be slapped with a bout of this again just after getting over one case, finding out that I'm pregnant, and enduring relentless morning-sickness. I hate to "why me", but WHY MEEEEEE!!!??? Seriously? I was just at a point where I felt like I was able to live as a normal human being. Sheesh.

The good news (I guess you could call it) is that my wound is healing SUPER fast this time and is responding well to antibiotics. I go back to the doctor next week to get rechecked and for more tests. I may be sent to an Infectious Disease specialist to see if I'm a carrier (I mean, what are the odds?!).

If you would, please pray for the following:

-I am on a strong antibiotic (sulfa based) that is classified as "ok to take in pregnancy for short term use". Please pray that there are no adverse side effects for me or the baby.

-That this will be my last bout of MRSA, that Sean will stay healthy, and that William and his baby will stay healthy.

-That we'll find out what I can do to prevent this from happening again (because, like the doctor said, I can't live in a bubble).

Thank you for you prayers and support. Goodness knows, I surely need them.
