back to reality

so reality crashed into the case world today...

we were cleaning our house today, and then went to jeremy's gma's to help clean out her house. we then took a load of trash to the dump...yes i said dump...ever been? DON'T GO! it's utterly disgusting...i can't use enough adjectives to describe our experience. but man the world has alot of trash...

while on our way to the dump we got a call from jeremy's mom who said jason was taking jess (sister in law) to the er because she couldn't taste anything since last nite and then today her left eye was all swollen when she woke up. then at lunch she and jason went to chick fil a and she couldn't close her mouth around a straw and her drink just spilled out around her mouth...
after arriving at the er we sat around being able to visit her one at a time for over 2 hours until the doc came to examine her and ordered a CAT scan and blood work. another hour later, after rotating to visit with her, her tests came back clear and fine, so no tumor that's good, no random diseases or viruses, but she has Bell's pasly. and although that is totally shaking all our world's right now because she and jason are getting married in 4 months and she's really freaking that her face won't look right for her wedding...and i really do get her fear. the doc says she will make a full recovery quickly but quickly to him is somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-9 weeks, but bells pasly can sometimes take up to 9 months to full recover. we are all of course praying for a very speedy recovery, and will be spending lots of family time together, but please pray for my sister in law as their are other complications that can come from having bells pasly and of course the fact that it is hard to look at yourself smile or close your eyes and not see the person you once saw.

needless to say it was an exhausting day...
