Thanksgiving and the amoeba.

Though Caleb spent most of Thanksgiving resting in another room we still had a very enjoyable holiday. We are grateful to have been able to spend the holiday with a few other families. Are meal was complete with all the trimmings, though we did not have a big turkey. You can buy a turkey here for about $40 (15lb) but we were all satisfied to just have turkey breast. This Wal-Mart shopper could never bring myself to pay that. Unfortunately Caleb started to feel bad again that night and on Friday we had to take him to the doctor. Caleb was unable to keep anything down and had eaten very little for three days. We were all retested for the amoeba and Caleb, Lucas and I were still positive. By this doctor visit someone in the family had been sick for at least a month. Though Lucas will be retested tomorrow I am happy to report that the other boys are now amoeba free!!!!!! Though I am not taking medicine to fight the amoeba (because of the pregnancy) I feel 100 times better. We are now entering our second week without illness and we are very excited about that. We are so thankful for those who so faithfully pray for our family. I did take a few pictures of us at the doctor's office - maybe it will make the scrapbook.
