Sickness and Creepie Crawlies in the house


Please keep our family in your prayers for good health. We all have some type of cold symptoms right now and Zach had flu like symptoms last weekend but seems to be doing better now except a cough. My biggest concern right now is Eric's cough. He has been coughing quite often for the last week or so, especially at night. He has a hard time producing a good cough and it sometimes causes him to choke which is a scary feeling for all of us. We are having Airway Oxygen come out tomorrow to analyze what equipment we should have in our house to help Eric with his coughing and breathing.
Another issue in our house lately is spiders!!! I have attached a photo of the ginormous spider we had in our bedroom yesterday. I was so proud to have caught him so we could find out what kind he is to be sure they are not poisonous. The other spiders we have seen have only been about half this size or smaller. There is no way I would have attempted to catch him without Eric in the room. He was my eyes and pep talker. I hate spiders! I think most people agree with this. I hope they will find another residence for the winter!
Today was just beautiful and refreshing with the sun shining! Zach played his last football game in Muskegon and ended the season undefeated. It will be nice to have him home after school for a bit, at least until Basketball starts!
Hope you were able to enjoy the sunshine today and your families are all staying healthy!

We've got germs running through our house too :( We don't have spiders though - yikes! I can't believe you caught it - you go girl! I probably would have sucked it up with the vacuum cleaner while screaming loudly.
