update

2009-01-28T14:18:00.001-08:00

Hi again!

Most of you have heard already, but I was diagnosed with gallbladder disease on Monday. I'm scheduled to have a consultation on Thursday with a surgeon at Parkwest hospital, and hopefully they'll schedule the surgery for Friday. In the meantime, I've been out of work most of the week because of the pain. The good news is it's a pretty routine surgery and the recovery time is only a matter of days.

I ask that you all would keep me in your prayers this week and weekend. Again, Sr. Highs will not meet this Sunday, as planned, for Super Bowl weekend. Lauren Stuart will head up the "Souper Bowl" collection on Sunday morning, so please plan to stay after worship service for 10-15 minutes to help!

Thanks to all of you!
Becca

Hey everyone!
As you've probably heard, I've been having some health issues this past week. I had severe abdominal pain on Tuesday night which landed me in the E.R. After blood tests, a ct scan, and a hi-da scan, all we know is: it's not my appendix. I'm waiting on more results, hopefully today or tomorrow, to tell me how my gallbladder is working (if at all! :) It's been a long, stressful week.
Long story short, I'm in pretty constant pain, so Lauren Stuart has graciously offered to lead the Sr. Highs this Sunday, the 25th. I will be out of town next Sunday, unless my health declines further, so there will be no Sr. Highs then.
Thank you for your support and prayer-- I truly appreciate them! :)

Love,
Becca

Heck if I know!! :) I teach music, not computers

Hopefully this will correct it...the goofy thing is, it has always looked right on my computer! People just kept telling me it was in webdings, so I looked at it this morning at church and yup, webdings all over the place. So...if it's still wacky looking, PLEASE leave a comment saying so, otherwise I'll never know and just go on blissfully blogging as if all were well! Thanks y'all!
