  So Casey got baptized, then a week later vanished entirely off the map after a less-than-positive phone conversation.  Didn't return phone calls or emails for months.  I was rather hurt.  But now he has resurfaced and things seem to be OK.  I'm still not entirely sure what tha...

  May 30, 2008

  I haven't written in here in *seven* months?!  Sheesh! I really ought to write about how my enormous hospital debt got resolved (yes, it got resolved), but what's moved me to write is a new friend I've made, a good brother. He's one of my students, and his name is Casey.  A freshman, 18...

  September 30, 2007

  Just a quick update on how things are going.I'm a lot stronger now - I can get down and up the stairs to let people in on my own, for example.  My mom, who's been staying with me since I got out of the hospital (like I said, she's been an angel!) is going to…

• +Alive is Good

  September 16, 2007

  Just a quick note (via my brother again) to let you know I'm still alive - thought it was touch-and-go for a while.  I just got out of ICU today, and the prognosis is good.  There are things I think I understand better about the Passion now - especially how important it was to Jesus&hel...

  My brother is posting this for me, as I am in the hospital.  My pneumonia was improving with the antibiotics, but Tuesday morning I started coughing up blood.  I went into Immediate Care again, and this time the X-ray showed an abcess in my lung.  That put me in the hospital. They ...

  Had a bit of a scare that I might be allergic to the new antibiotic also, but things seem to have calmed down.And today?  I woke up, and my temperature was 98.6!  First time in over two weeks.  100 has started to seem *low*.Definitely a good sign, though I'm not out of the woods ye...

  Yep, I'm sick and tired... of being sick and tired. :P  Looks like I'm going to be for a while yet, though.Some friends brought me a thermometer on Sunday, so I could finally see just how bad it was... it was pretty bad. :P  Temperature was oscillating from 101 to 103.  When it spi...

  August 25, 2007

  Fun life it's been lately.  I've had a highish-to-very high fever for the last 10 days.  Going in to the doctor (again) on Monday.I don't know just how high it's been, as I haven't had a thermometer until just now (some friends gave me one).  I thought I was almost back to normal t...
