The Parasite

SO... Hanna hasn't felt great these days. For a long time she's had intestinal problems and she frequently gets stomach aches. If she's too hungry then her stomach hurts and cramps, and if she eats too much then she wants to throw up. It's been that way for awhile apparently. The poor little gal. But, I began to worry I finally took her to the doctor. When I took her to the doctor they said that it sounds like she might have something wrong, so they began the typical investigation. Poking and prodding, pushing and pulling, bloodwork and urination, you know the drill. So we awaited the verdict. Turns out tests were positive for a parasite. We couldn't believe it. How did this happen? What do we do for it? He reassured us that if she takes the right pills and eats right then the pain will subside in a couple of months. I of course was in a panic and the fears of how we are going to be able to afford this parasite problem was a big question mark. But, alas, the doctor reassured us that most people learn to love and adore these things and they even give them a name and that we'll probably spend the rest of our lives worrying about it's well being and end up loving it more than we could comprehend.

Well, we've spent the last couple of months reading up and getting healthy and getting ready for this things arrival and just the other day we went in for a check up and it seems to be growing very rapidly. He said it even has it's own heartbeat! And we HEARD IT! So bizzare.

So nevertheless and notwithstanding, if you haven't figured it out yet, we could use your prayers and support because Mrs. Fertile Myrtle's gonna have a BABY! And it's supposed to be ripe and ready for the pickin' on June 12, 2009. So there you have it. Giddy Up.

Love,
Cody
