Why do I write all this, you ask? Because my bro has been pretty sick down there. He couldn't email us last week because he was at the doctor again, trying to figure out what's causing him to be so sick. Initially, they thought he had an intestinal infection, which may have been complicated by dehydration. But it's been slightly unsettling because no one is exactly sure what's wrong with him. In spite of it all, he's had such a great attitude about this whole thing and has really downplayed it to the family. It was only when my dad was talking to him on the phone on Christmas Day that we realized that he'd been so sick that he went to the hospital.
He's my little brother, and I'm worried about him, but am also so proud of his strength amid adversity. He's been so faithful and has worked so hard, and it breaks my heart to think that he is suffering. So I humbly ask you, my blog peeps, to throw up some extra prayers/good vibes/happy thoughts for my brother, Joe. It would be greatly appreciated.
**UPDATE: Joe wrote us this week and said that he is feeling much better. Thanks for your support and prayers!!**
