"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything...
But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him...
But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate."
A week from today Mikey will be home. We just found out today. So we will begin to plan the feast! My brother was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found. It's time to celebrate! Pray for Mikey as he enters into the world again. Pray that we will know how to help him best.
In other news, the Trey man has another ear infection. One in each ear again. He's pretty miserable, but he's on Zithromax now and that always seems to work really quickly for him. Thank goodness for Starbuck's health insurance.
And the most important news of the evening...if you haven't checked out this site yet, tonight would be a good time to read and pray. www.healingforpalmer.com
Tomorrow is a huge day for Mark, Amy and Micah. I can't even begin to imagine what they must be feeling right now. Pray that God would give them peace for this part of their journey. I've gathered all the faith I have inside of me to believe in Mark's healing. I'm believing tonight.
it was good to see you tonight kerri. i wish i saw you lots more often. it was good too to sit on that tiny couch with you and your husband--to pray with you and cry with you. SO glad we're part of the same family. SO GLAD.

I'll be praying that Mikey's homecoming reflects spiritual homecoming in the deepest parts of him.

My name is Wesley Brown and i would like to show you my personal experience with Zithromax.
I am 45 years old. Have been on Zithromax for 2 days now. I took this drug (generic azithro 500 mg bid) to get rid of an 2+ week old sinus infection that did not clear with decongestants and antihistamines. The drug made a substantial difference within 2 days. I'm a physician and needed to return to work, and the tiredness was just excessive, so I stopped the drug after 48-72 hours. The infection did not return. I would take this drug again if I needed to kill off an infection. I don't expect to feel good all the time. If a drug is making me healthy in a particular way, it's up to me to weigh that benefit against the cost of side effects.
I have experienced some of these side effects -
Fatigue. I just didn't want to move or get out of bed while on the drug; it was a bit hard to figure out that this was an effect of the medication rather than the sinusitis. Otherwise I was fine.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Wesley Brown
