A ~60 yo female patient comes in and states that for more than 20 years, her nose would stuff up in the middle of the night…leading to difficulty breathing, along with very poor sleep. She said she’s tried all the medicines under the sun, in addition to having nasal turbinate surgery to help with allergies. She also complained of uncontrollable phlegm in the mornings. I told her I have some medicines that she could try, that it may not work, but was worth a shot.

Zyrtec, nasal decongestant pill, and nasal decongestant spray before bed, along with Robitussin DM in the mornings? I saw her yesterday and she had the biggest smile on her face, thanking me, saying she finally had a good nights sleep.

God is awesome.

Always looking up with great anticipation,
Dan

It’s been a very challenging month so far for both Lily and I. This trip has challenged us very early in our marriage…to trust each other, support one another, lift each other up…and to grow in Christ. Today, Lily and I had one of those moments where I felt God TOTALLY at work. It involved Lily dumping a huge trash bucket of water on my head and her (and some kids) dragging me into the pool and attempting to drown me. I know, weird…for those that want the whole story, ask me later. It was a good day. Here are some pictures (click to enlarge):

Lily and I brought glow sticks!

Little kids trying to be Lily’s hair stylist. So adorable!
