sickness

Things have been pretty crazy this week. Azariah started the week off by running a fever of 101 which lasted for 2 days. He didn’t do much eating , but I was able to keep fluids down him, and he slept a lot. He also woke up Tuesday morning with the croop. The first couple nights after that, either Trevor or I had to get up with him and give him some cough med so he could sleep. It’s very common for him to have the croop in the winter. (He gets it at least once every winter, so I’m an old pro at dealing with it. ) So between sleeping under a humidifer, cough medicine and some wonderful all natural medicine called Acidophilus, he quickly improved and now he only has the last little remains of a cold. Thank the Lord nothing else came of it.

Glorianna developed a cold at the beginning of the week as well. It wasn’t too bad until about 3 days ago. She starting crying a lot during the day and didn’t want to nurse at all (which is very unusal for her). I was able to get some fluids down her via bottle tho (which is also unusal. SHe normally HATES a bottle). Then to top it off, she kept Trevor and I up all night screaming. We had to take turns walking the floors with her in hopes of some kind of peace and / or sleep. So finally this morn I figured I had better call the doctor just in case something was wrong. I took her in and sure enough, my suspections were true. Glorianna has an ear infection in her right ear. Its the first one she’s had and between that and the cold she’s very misrable. But she is not on Amoxicilian, so she she be improving soon.

Zion , thank the Lord, is just fine. But then he usually is. He very rarely gets sick.

SO anyhoo…just keep us and the kids in your prayers…we’d really like to enjoy Christmas, with no sickness.
