My prayers will be for you and a full recovery from this "Mother of All Infections." I do think -- for whatever reason -- this might be happening for a REASON, and that your marriage and your R will be the better for it.
Not to go all relgion-y on you, but thought you might enjoy these lyrics from one of my favorite songs. (You know me, always the LYRICS guy). Anyway, it's gotten me through a lot of "why me? why THIS??" times in my life.
BIIIIG hugs to you,

"Higher Ways" Steven Curtis Chapman
If I could only fly I'd go up and look down from the sky So I could see the bigger picture And Lord if I could sit with You At Your feet for an hour or two I'm sure I'd ask too many questions 'Cause there's so much going on down here That I must confess I just don't understand
BRIDGE But I have prayed And at your feet my whole life has been laid So I wont worry I wont be afraid 'Cause my soul is resting on Your higher ways Let the road ahead become unclear I am Yours so what have I to fear If my soul is resting on Your higher ways
CHORUS Your higher ways teach me to trust You Your higher ways are not like mine Your higher ways are the ways of the Father Hiding His children in His love
BRIDGE So let it rain And if my eyes grow dim with tears of pain This hope I have will not be washed away 'Cause my soul is resting on Your higher ways
Maybe then You will take me aside And show me the bigger picture But until I'm with You I'll be here with a heart that is true And a soul that's resting on Your higher ways
