Yesterday was kind of a rough day. I started the day out by throwing up my breakfast. Then I had terrible stomach cramps for most of the day. I went to the doctor's to have my routine blood test and shots. Of course, my counts are very low, which means I am stuck inside by myself for probably most of the week. I guess that isn't too bad, because I really don't feel up for being with people anyways. I probably wouldn't be very good company since I don't feel well.
I didn't sleep much last night. I spent a good portion of the night in the bathroom, throwing up and other things. I had bad body aches from the shots that I received, but I was afraid to take anything for them because I would throw up again. So, I rolled around trying to get comfortable for the part of the night that I spent in bed. I still have stomach cramps, but so far my breakfast has stayed down. :)
One really neat thing about being up during the night was that I got to see a really cool lunar eclipse. The sky was very clear last night and the moon was very bright. At about 4am this morning the lunar eclipse was in full view. It was so amazing!
I just want you all to know that even though I didn't get much sleep and I am not feeling great today, my attitude is upbeat. I know that this is just temporary and it will pass. I feel like I have handled everything that God throws at me with confidence and a positive attitude. So, I feel like He keeps giving me a little more to deal with. Kind of like He is saying, "do you trust me? will you lean on me?" Of course that is what I try to do. There is no way I could do this without Him!

You are truly a testimony and witness to our God!!!
You are amazing and God is with you.
8/31/07--As this has been a difficult last few days for you and you've been unable to post or really not wanting to post, we thought we'd post a message to let your readers who are unaware know that you have been in the hospital the last few days with a fever and very low blood counts. You've had to receive blood platelets and blood transfusions the past couple of days and will hopefully be out of there tomorrow.
And while you may feel down at times, you continue to amaze all of us with your incredible spirit. We all love you and are thinking about you all the time!
Can't wait to see you!!!!!
Love, the Ocean Dwellers past and present

I know this week has been rough for you and it made me feel so much better to get your text message this morning, as I can feel your positive faith and energy just through the words you write and send to my cell phone! The first week of school, of course, wasn't the same without you, but us Ocean Dwellers felt you there in spirit all week and I know that the kids are going to love you so much when you come back! They are excited to meet you!
I hope that you get to come home soon and of course, you are in my thoughts and prayers hundreds of times daily, as well as the prayers of my friends and family. I love you! (And I think that you may even be strong enough to handle those funnel clouds, but to ensure Nevin's sanity, stay inside next time)! :)
Sheri, as I have always said (even before this side trip on the road of your life)-you are one of the best people I have ever met! You have made my life sweeter and your faith inspires, even me:) I can't wait to see you at OQ! Tony M has asked me about you TWICE in the last few days and Julius did too on his 1st day back(Thursday). That should bring a smile-you touch even those who make you want to scream at times!! I am thinking about you every day!!!

Sheri,
It is Sunday around noon and I am thinking about you. Hope to see you this week at Old Quarry. Take care and know how much you are loved.

Sheri, I just wanted you to know that I keep you in my prayers. I hope to see you at Old Quarry this week. We all miss you. Aleks sends her love and was hoping if you are up to it to stop in at OQ on Thursday when they have a half day at the high school and say hello.
