Silas AND Seth are improving...

What a week last week! I was away most of the week (in PA for a church planting training) and Trish was home with sick kids. Thankfully, Trish's parents and my mom were able to come and help at different times. Silas vomited and had diarrhea through Wednesday evening (about 6 days total). We were very concerned, again, about dehydration from what we're sure is Rota Virus (again!). God was merciful to us and allowed us to get enough fluids in Silas to keep him hydrated. Some blood tests done on Monday (testing for immunity problems- trying to find out why Silas keeps getting sick) came back normal. Praise God!

To top off the week, Seth began throwing up on Friday. We took them both to the doctor that morning to find out that Seth was in the beginning stages of pneumonia. He began keeping food down on Saturday night and with an antibiotic and some rest was doing better on Sunday.

So, we're thanking God for healing and feeling like life is returning to some sort of normalcy. We spent all day Saturday and most of Sunday cleaning every single surface (including every Lego and Matchbox car and GeoTrax piece...) with clorox to try and prevent more sickness. We know God is teaching us patience and trust through illness. So, we're trying to learn His lessons and thank Him that we're not dealing with anything more serious.

Thanks for praying with us for our kids!
