Prayer Requests: January 2005 Archives

On Sunday, a senior at Johns Hopkins University was found dead in her apartment; her death has been ruled a homicide. When I lived in Baltimore, I lived only a few blocks south of where this student lived. She was a parishioner at Our Lady of Vietnam Parish in Silver Spring.

It is the middle of the night and I have insomnia because the baby was up. He is now sleeping soundly, but I who amd dead tired, am awake. Agh, motherhood! Kids, why have 'em?

-A week ago Fredegar had a check-up. He is 15 pounds and 23 inches. He is a real chubbalumps. Nice fat cheeks and thighs. Since he was born, he loves to sleep on my chest at night, but he is sort of taking up all the room on my torso now. Just two monhs ago I barely felt he was there.
-Polo, my 9 tear old boy, is giving me a hard time with his school work. He will do any chore I ask of him, shovel the walk, bring in firewood-anything physical. But when it comes down to sitting for a lesson, he needs to go to the bathroom, get water, check on the two year old. It is starting to become a problem. Pray I nip it in the bud properly.
-I have had mastitis for the past week and am on antibiotics. I am trying to choke down as much yogurt as possible to deter thrush. It has only gotten so better though and it looks like I will have to go in and see the doctor. I so don't have time.
-I also have to go get a 2 hour glucose test done today because my ACG something like that test showed my glucose levels are still elevated. I asked the doctor if I am diabetic if pregnancy brought this on and he said I was probably becoming diabetic. Oh well, I guess I cannot live on chocolate chip bagels after all.
