A Rough Week

Well, it's been a tough one around here. Just as Ellie was starting to feel better from her infection, the boys came down with colds. They ran fevers one night and then woke up with bad coughs. We just prayed that Ellie would not get it, but of course she did.

She has been handling the cold quite well, not requiring supplemental oxygen yet. She just has a lot of secretions and is coughing more than usual (which is actually a good thing for her!).

But, things took a bad turn again last night with her running a fever and then sounding like things were sticking in the lungs a little more. She is still hanging in there, but I am getting concerned again. And feeling a little frazzled.

Please pray for Ellie that she will kick this thing!
Thanks!

    Emily-You are a wonderful mother, and true to form you ask for prayers for Ellie, I do pray for Ellie, but I also pray for you - it is okay to feel frazzled. May God grant you and your family exactly what you need today.
