The roller-coaster ride is not over

Well we spent all day in an ER exam room while the doctors tried to figure out what to do with me.  The neurology team decided that it must not be Aseptic Meningitis.  All of the tests, cultures, x-rays, CT scans, MRI came back negative so they do not think there is any neurological problem.

They have admitted me to the hospital and another team of doctors are going to try a few more tests.  I do have a little swelling in both of my ankles so I think they are going extract a little fluid from my ankle and test that too.

I am trying to be a patient patient, but hope they figure out the puzzle soon.

Jeff Nodorft, one of our friends who works in St. Louis, stopped by after work Tamara went home with him and he will bring her back on his way into work tomorrow.  Jeff and Martha have three boys and one girl about the same ages as our children.  We have often talked about getting our families together to "do St Louis".  Somehow this is not my idea of "doing St Louis".

Mary is with the children again.  We are so grateful for her.

And the children did all of the farm chores again.  It is amazing how much they can do.

I will let this be all tonight and will post when we learn something tomorrow.

Thanks again for all of you love and support.
