@MaryMamuzich Thankyou Mary

Yesterday we had dinner with the boys and watched a film together.

Nd yet, today, Jo and I haven't been yet able to get out of bed.

We're both feeling much rougher today, not better - hoping this marks the beginning of the end of the virus, rather than sinking back into it

Today is also the end of our 10 day self isolation, and 7 days with very obvious symptoms

Feeling pretty broken today. Ongoing prayers would be most appreciated

Boys seem much less bad. Steven describes his current symptoms as like that of a head cold

Covid updates: Jo and I feeling a bit worse today...totally exhausted, and weak, feeling generally very rubbish

Temperature fluctuations have calmed down, but Jo's cough comes and goes

My headache is back, despite an amazing prayer video that @Olamide sent me (even more special because he isn't exactly at home right now!)

I want sleep, buy am trying to stay awake so I can sleep overnight....I may just g to sleep soon

Yesterday we were eating almost approaching normally. Today I've given up eating a banana half way in, because it's too draining

Run down, weak, tired - that is is this morning.

Boys seem to be very slowly improving, which is encouraging

And @Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter someone just messaged to ask if we need anything bringing over...they aren't exactly local, but help is help! Thanks for your specific prayers

Andy

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter it's 3am here and I'm fully awake - didn't sleep last night, and ended up sleeping for many hours during the day, which explains my not being sleepy right now!

there seem some similar experiences, yes

for our part, we eventually gave up trying to keep channels open....people see what they see, and it became more than worth it to keep explaining - the judgements come all the more!

God has provided us with some AMAZING supporters, via DingDash - people who not just pray from afar, but encourage us and love us in ways you'd only normally expect from people you've physically met

God is good, and those that need to know the truth of our journey hold us up as good examples of faithful people...but it isn't always possible to go into enough detail with everybody

we've been walking in faith for well beyond a decade, any many don't do well seeing how we live, because it isn't the norm

it's taken a while, but we're ok with that

thanks for your prayers and words!

@MaryMamuzich @tanjaostman God is good! 🙂

We make our choices, but many people haven't liked some of ours

That's okay, cos they're missing out, not us ;-)

@MaryMamuzich @tanjaostman it's very bizarre! I've only had flu a few times. The last time was a moving day, in the snow....which we had to do in our own - there was no help and no possibility of delaying....

@StevenBerry @Olamide there's always hope

@davereimer amen thanks Dave

@tanjaostman very true!

@tanjaostman we have no family on either side in our lives. And no local friends...it's just us, as it's been for over a decade now

@tanjaostman no - no help with housekeeping

Painful sides when I blow my nose. I haven't coughed much, but when you do MAN is it agressive - it catches you off guard (I've been so careful to breathe through my nose as much as possible, although a runny nose has frequently kicked that one into touch)

Haven't had painful sides (from coughing) like that for MANY years

Steven has nearly lost his voice, and is feeling generally run down
Nathan struggling with temperature fluctuations
Peter is looking run down, and is very slow (we miss his joyous smile! :-( )
Jo is perking up a bit, but her cough, while pretty mild, is causing her upset

I even went outside to empty a bin...very slowly, and cos we couldn't get any more in it!!

I'm hoping these are positive signs, but I'm equally aware that good moments are followed by bad ones, so none of us are taking any improvements for granted

@tanjaostman tea tree oil is simply amazing! We will look into that room infuser thingy you mentioned at some point

@MaryMamuzich first shave in a week too...my beard had grown so long it had already turned soft!!!

First time I've felt like having a shower, since last weekend.... I'll take that as a positive
