Things are Looking Up

I think we have turned the corner here. Ellie is finally awake and her breathing is doing great now. She is pretty much off the O2 and getting back to normal.

The rest of the family is starting to shape up. Seth and I were hit the hardest. Seth's stomach flu lasted off and on about a week and he had fevers too. I think I ended up with the flu and was in bed for the better part of five days. I have not been this sick in 10 years!

Adam did a great job taking care of all of us, including doing the majority of Ellie's care both day and night!

    Glad to hear you are all feeling better once again. We'll pray you start the New Year feeling better than Christmas Day. We saw Noah at church - he is getting so grown up. Blessings to you in 2009!
