My son is doing much better today! Praise the Lord! His cough is almost gone.  He slept for 13 hours straight today and woke up feeling much better.  Tomorrow will be 1 week since he got the swine flu.  The doctor said it lasts 7 days, so I am hoping tomorrow will be even better.   

While we were at youth camp, I must admit that I ate the regular food.  I had intentions of packing all my NS and taking it with me, but then at the last minute I didn't (because I already had to pack so much---bed linens, towels, etc.).  I also let my sweet tooth take over on more than one occasion.  Our schedule was vigorous the entire week.  I'm sure I burnt way more calories than normal.  I did gain 1 pound while I was gone, but I am honestly thinking it was water weight because everything was much more salty than NS ever dreamed of being. Haha.  Anyhow, I weighed just a few minutes ago and I've lost the pound I had gained plus 2 more!! So, I'm now down 15 pounds.  I also started back doing the NS this morning.  I am ready to tackle this again. 

Thanks again for the prayers!!
