What's been going on in the Griffiths household? Well...

We were getting tired of having two two door vehicles... so we sold the truck and got a 4runner. It's a lot nicer to have the pups in the very back so they are not jumping all over the car! But... Nathan took it out the other day and when he came back there was a HUGE hole in one of the tires and within 15 minutes the tire was completely flat in our driveway. So that is not going to be fun to fix :( Great. Then poor Nathan starts not feeling well (and by that i mean his temp was between 101- 104 degrees for a couple days and he couldn't breathe or keep anything down ) but puts off going to the doctor thinking it's just a simple flu virus... until... he gets worse and worse and we have to rush him to the ER. Talk about worried... i was a wreck! So they got his oxygen up and heart rate down to normal and took some blood tests and then it really got scary. He had to get some chest ex-rays and a cat scan because they were scared he had a Pulmonary Embolism which is not good at all. That came back negative ( thank goodness!) but it did show that he has Pneumonia pretty bad and Empyema. Apparently he had been sick for a while for it to get as bad as it is. So they sent him home with some antibiotics and told us to go see the doc on monday morning. The doc could definitely tell that he was not a whole lot better and put him on oxygen here at home and released him from work until the end of the month. He is feeling a little better. Getting more sleep and fluids down but he has had some pain worsen and if it doesn't get better soon we will be heading back to the ER. We need lots of prayer so if you could please pray for him that would be great. Nates brother in law came over today and gave him a blessing and we greatly appreciate him for that! Thank you!
