Pictures do speak louder than words, eh? Wow! But seriously now, you can do this, Lynette. You have lots of us praying you through. Give each day to God. Give the bed to God, the sheets to God, the boring ceiling to God, the walls to God. When the mind is going crazy with thought, give it to God. Use that as your touchstone. Give Colleen to God and all your friends from the village. Just visually hold everyone and everything up for God's light to shine upon them. You'll be amazed at how it will help you feel connected with them and help to pass the time. Think through your physiology class and hold up all the diff amazing parts and functions of the human body up to God, thanking Him and asking Him for health in each one. I once took care of a woman with MS, and this is part of what she did all day every day as she lay in bed (that and books on tape). You are a courageous woman, Lynette. Stay intimately close to God during this time. He will see you through the "downtime"..... Jenn in GR, MI
We love you Aunt Lynette! You gave the kids in this house a nice giggle this morning! I googled "dreadlocks" and told them that your hair might have a new look after a few more weeks of bed rest! They had wide eyes! :)

Going a little stir crazy??
A number of moms in our multiples' club go on bedrest. A website that is often recommended for support: www.sidelines.org
Praying that you will come out of this with a healthy little boy to enjoy!
