Prayers Needed

Hello all. Quick update on us: the girls are well - Julia had a fever earlier in the week but is doing much better now - Melanie is as healthy as can be.

I, unfortunately, am in need of some prayers. I have recently learned that I am a sufferer of Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). Basically, my pubic bones are separating sooner than they should and are causing stress/pain to my legs and surrounding ligaments. Monday night I couldn't sleep at all and was in a great amount of pain, Tuesday I was doing a little better but couldn't lie down without pain as well. I did get some sleep (thanks to a Priesthood Blessing administered by my Home Teacher) Tuesday night (mostly gotten from sitting up in our recliner). Today was not a good day. I couldn't walk without a great deal of discomfort and can barely climb the stairs in my house. Hopefully I will sleep better tonight though (I think a hot water bottle filled with warm water will help - I'll keep you posted). I wholeheartedly believe in the power of prayer and am asking for anyone that can spare a line or two for us in their daily prayers to please remember us. This condition is especially difficult because my husband is still gone and I have two little girls to still take care of - not to mention normal day to day activities that need to be accomplished. Thank you all for thinking about us - I will let you know how things go.

Oh you poor thing! I hope that everything gets better for you. Is this something you will have your whole life, or is it a pregnancy induced symptom? You will be in our prayes constantly. Go easy on yourself, dishes, laundry etc. can all wait!

Oh, Janice! I'm so sorry! We definately will send our prayers your way. I wish I was out there to still your girls for a few days and let you rest. I hope you get the help you need and let us all know how you start feeling.
