Prayers Needed

Well, we have had a pretty rough Christmas so far. We have all been sick in one way, or more than one. Some of the complaints have been: stomach flu, fever/chills, headache, eye pain, ear ache, etc.

Ellie is bearing the brunt of it. She has had pretty much all the symptoms above, including respiratory distress too. She has had moments where we really thought she was coming out of it, only to get worse.

We took her into the doctor (again!) today and are really trying some last attempts at pulling her out of this before we need to be admitted. We gave her a dose of steroids and an antibiotic shot today. Please pray that these drugs are effective and things begin to improve. Otherwise we will have no choice but to head into the hospital.

Thanks.

    Here is a hug for all of you. It's been a tough season for illnesses indeed. I will be praying that you have strength and patience to endure this present battle. The sun was such a lift today. Hope you caught a little Vitamin D from it too!
