Dear Ladies,
I have to beg for prayers from you at the moment.
I am currently experiencing extreme pain in my face and mouth from some weird lip infection. I don't usually get pimples or cold sores so this is very weird but so painful that I can't sleep, think properly and just want to cry. The pain relief I am taking is suppose to cover for 4 hours but only covers me for about 1 1/2 hours. My poor children are all sick except one, with a bad cough. The little ones Rosemary, Augustine and Benedict are the worst I have been up with them for the last 5-6 nights with coughing, high temperatures and being miserable and I have had very little sleep. I am just at the end of my tether. Dh and I both feel like we are battling this virus as well. Not the best start to a pilgrimage
My dh and I are going on pilgrimage to Italy and France this coming weekend for 16 days so any prayers are needed urgently. We have been so careful over the last 6 weeks keeping a low profile and not going out to much as to not get sick since finding out about this pilgrimage (which has been a wonderful gift to us). Now everyone getting sick the week before is just so overwhelming and exacerbating my other illness. I am looking forward to the Lourdes baths and praying for a cure for myself from an illness that I have been dealing with since Augustine’s birth, it isn't as bad as it was but it is still so debilitating and more than hard to bear.
Please, please pray for a safe trip for Scott and I and that our dc's will be o.k. My PIL are looking after them and will not be happy that they are sick. Please pray that we will all start to improve significantly by the weekend.
God Bless You all.
I will be praying to Our Lady of Lourdes for you and all your intentions as well.
Chemai

Things like this always happen the week before I leave on retreat, Chemai, and, miraculously, things either get better right before I leave or they work themselves out while I am gone.
But I do know (and sympathize) with the stress of having sick children.
I'll be praying for you.

The infection in my lip is still a worry I am taking antibiotics that have certainly reduced the pain which just broke this morning, and the swelling has subsided a bit but now I have a significant lump in my neck which I won't have time to get checked, hopefully it is just related to this lip infection.
The children are also improving with the little ones on antibiotics as well unfortunately.
I am very, very grateful for all your prayers; it has been a huge week.
I have heard that no pilgrimage is travelled without the cross. Hopefully this was ours.
I will keep you all close in prayer while I am away.
God Bless to you all
Love
Chemai
