Satan seems to be constantly attacking us over the past month from every angle he can.
First of all, Eddie's plant is closing on June 30. He was offered a transfer, which we are thankful for, but Eddie will have to commute 150 miles round trip each day to Jackson, TN. We aren't sure when or if we will be able to move. We don't have any money to move and we would have to sell our house and find us somewhere else to live before we could move. We don't feel comfortable moving yet until Eddie feels confident that this job transfer is permanent and not only temporary. It would be really bad to move and then he loose that job too.
Our second issue is that since Eddie was in an accident and totalled his truck a week after we got home from Taiwan, we have been looking for another vehicle for him. It has become a little more urgent to find one now since Eddie starts commuting to Jackson, TN next week. It is a 150 mile round trip. We feel that God would not want us to go in debt for another vehicle, so we are praying that God will provide us a vehicle from somewhere. We don't have much money because we spent almost all of our savings bringing Isaac home from Taiwan.
There are also some other problems that are eating up the rest of our savings. We found out that Isaac is going to have to get work done on his teeth. About 8 of his teeth have severe decay and cavities and will have to be capped. Because of his age, he will have to be put to sleep to have this done. We don't know yet how much this is going to cost. We do have dental and medical insurance, but we are not sure what, if anything, they will pay on it. The pediatric dentist is trying to get pre-approval from the insurance companies.
We also had to take our Yorkshire Terrier to the vet today. He is very sick. He has had diarrea for 2 days and he was dehydrated. He also had blood in his stool. The veterinarian was afraid that it could be pancreatitis or kidney problems but thankfully it ended up being a bacterial infection. That still isn't good, but it could have been worse. The bad thing is that he has to stay at the vet hospital until Friday on IV fluids and for treatment. That is going to be expensive. I am now seeing that maybe our other Yorkshire Terrier may be coming down with the same thing. The bill for our first dog is going to be around $400 and if our other dog is sick too, that could be another $400.
On top of all of this, I am sick. I have a very bad sinus infection. It has gotten down in my throat and chest. I am coughing, sneezing, and my throat hurts really bad. It is really hard to take care of everything when I am sick.

I know you've got a lot going on, but hang in there. God won't give you more than you can handle. There's a lot of us praying for y'all!
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Seems like Satan has been quite busy! He's been active here, too. Just keep believing! We have GOD on our side!
