No talking, day 3

Well, I guess I should give you an update on this whole "no talking" thing. It has been almost 48 hours since I was told I can't talk anymore. I found out on Thursday night. Last time I wrote, there were a lot of unknowns. There still are, but not as many. The school found a sub who will take my class for the next three weeks. She used to work at the school as a sixth grade teacher, so she will be great. I met with her and the other third grade teacher to get her up to speed, as much as I could without a voice :). My kids did well with her yesterday, so that's really good. The school wants me to take an entire week where I don't come to school at all. Part of this is stress induced, so they want me to lower my stress levels as much as possible. After that, I may be there doing other things at the school that don't involve talking, we will see. Katie, the lady who is subbing for me, will be handling my parent/teacher conferences on Thursday. Pray for her as she just met the kids yesterday! I will be writing stuff out for her. I have no idea what I will be doing next week, but i do know I will be trying to rest! It is definitely strange not being able to talk! My roommate Amanda and I will challenge you to charades in about three weeks. We will win! She is already getting good at figuring out what I am trying to say. I try to keep paper with me or my computer. Thanks for your prayers. Please keep praying for patience in this and also that my throat would heal. Thanks so much!
