July 13th "Not-so-good" to "Not that bad" Day

Yesterday after my blog entry, I napped praying to rest in the Lord. I woke up feeling I had a fever. After checking the temperature I was alarmed knowing that I would need to check into the hospital. But then it was after office hours and it would be quite a headache to go to the hospital emergency – all the hassle may just take a toll on the body and hit me harder. Fortunately my sister was there with me so I did not panic. I prayed and waited for a bit to check my temperature again and this time it was just marginal. After calling my friend who had leukemia and got some practice advice, I packed to be ready to go to the hospital but continue to just monitor the temperature.

Victor had class last night and his students prayed for me three times. Praise God for them. I finally decided to just wait till the morning. I woke up and the temperature had gone down to the acceptable range – I would still need to keep an eye on it.

So there were twists and turns yesterday, from a “not-so-good” day to a “potentially-really-bad” day (either waiting in the hospital emergency or being hospitalized) and then finally to a “not-that-bad” day after all.

Thank you for all the prayers. You can see I really need them.
