She survived!!

Well, Melinda is still with us. Although she probably didn't think she would make it. It has been a very long, tiring, 6 days for Melinda. She endured it though and was able to go back to work today. After multiple trips to the doctor, an ER visit, 3 different antibiotics, 2 different pain medicines and 6 days of poor sleeping, there is improvement. Thanks to everyone for your prayers.

ER here we come

Hello to all. The last couple of days have been taxing on all four of us, but significantly more so on Melinda. She got up yesterday morning and got off to work without any problems. I happened to be on campus about 2 hours later when I saw her come out of the restroom holding her stomach and crying in pain. We took a QUICK drive to the doctor for what we thought was a good old bladder infection. We were wrong. She had aquired a full blown UTI. Weird how it came on so quickly. Doctor prescribed antibiotics and pain medicine for her. Having complete confidence(HAHA) in our medical system we thought for sure she would feel better after taking her medicine, getting some rest and flushing out her system. Well after having to call the doctor late last night for something stronger for pain, popping vicodin every 2-3 hours through the night and sleeping most of today, we realized our dreams of effective medical treatment had been smashed and we found ourselves headed to the ER. The pain had gotten worse and she had added on some more icky symptoms. We just got home from that adventure with the same diagnosis just much more severe. She has a new antibiotic, new pain medicine and orders to take another day off of work. I have to admit, I like the fact that I have also taken off the last two days. I just wish it was to do something fun, not watch my lovely wife agonize in pain. She is being a trooper through it all. At this point I think she is equally tired of the pain as she is from lack of sleep. Please keep her in your prayers. Hope all is well with everybody out there.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

I have to declare publically that I am the luckiest man on the earth. Why you ask. Well let me tell you. I have the greatest wife any man can ask for. You are hard working, intelligent, beautiful, caring, loving and whole heartedly devoted to the well being of our family. More than any of the things I have listed above you love the Lord. You have blessed me with two wonderful children and you are the greatest mother to them that I could ever ask for. I love you for all that you are and all that you strive to be. As we approach our 10th anniversary I can honestly say that I love you more now than I did ten years ago. With that said I want to wish you happy birthday.

Your Loving Husband,

Brian

Well summer vacation is over now it is time to get back to the grind. The kids are excited about the new school year and about their teachers. Melinda is back at it again this year also. She is the school receptionist by title, but her BIG responsibility is being the Parent involvement coordinator. We are blessed to have such a wonderful school to send our kids to. (Harvest Christian School)It is actually one of the many ministries at our church (Harvest Christian Fellowship) There is nothing more important than raising children up in the way of the lord.

Welcome!!

Welcome all to the world of SNURBS. For those of you that do not know what a Snurb is, I will explain. Take our last name Bruns, and read it backwards. Then make it plural since there is 4 of us. Kind of goofy but it was my nickname in high school. Check back soon for new exciting information
