For three weeks I've had a cornucopia of nasty viruses. First, the Flu..then...well...diarrhea...sorry. Then, 
Uvulitis for several days. Lost my voice...then I picked up a cold. Sinus issues. Okay, normally I don't get sick...but it's all happening at once.
So, Rachel got a Neti Pot to treat her sinus issues. I decided to try it. Here's the video...sorry for the faint of heart.
Man, I've been out the past week with all sorts of medical issues. I had an upper endoscopy where they stretched my esophagus to help with acid reflux n'such. Aaand I learned that my gall bladder has to come out soon...boo!
The worst part of it all is that Ezra (18 months) had a surgery on Friday of this week. There were some problems with his nether region that we had to correct so that he would like us when he got older.
When we met him in the recovery room he was awake and screaming. He had pulled out his I.V. and was really ticked off. The worst part is that for two weeks he's gonna walk around like he just rode a horse for 7 hours straight.
Please pray for the little guy and a quick recovery! There is one video that sums up his experience....here it is...
For Father's Day, Ezra (only 16 months mind you) got me an 8GB iPod Nano. So...I had to get an armband and the new Nike+ pedometer thingymabobber. I plan on running tomorrow whilst some lady tells me how far I've run, and how fast I did it in. I'm purdy excited!
Man, my wife and I had a conversation a couple weeks ago. She said something to me...."Derrick, time to buck up." DANG! Now, in her defense, this came after the knowledge that she is indeed pregnant with our second child. Knowing what we know about her pregnancy with Ezra, she'll most likely be sick for the majority of the time.
Buck Up...man, that's hard when your sweet bride tells you that. My main goal when I am at home is to take over any and all responsibility she has with Ezra, help keep the house straight, and help us stay on top of creating margin in our family's finances. Couple that with my new desire to eat healthier (dang Phat Philly's) and be more consistent in my running...and this boy has lots of bucking up to do.
Main reason for the post was to declare that our family will be adding another real live person in November. The other reason was to publicly confess my desire to help my wife during this time. Hopefully, we'll have a girl, be done with pregnancies (adoption is more favorable at this point to Rachel) and live happily ever after.
More on that later!
You see, it all began when my son Ezra was crawling down the hall. I reached down, grabbed the back of his footed pj's and proceeded to lift him up and down, soaring around the house like a miniature super boy. That's when my back protested. (I didn't drop my son.)
So, after a couple days of pain, I gave in and went to a Chiropractor. Some of you out there in blogging world may approve, others may not. However, the experience went like this...
