A Noble Journey

What an end to the week. Sick babies. Not fun.

They both started with a cough and runny nose on Thursday. The 22 month old just stayed with a runny nose and cough. The 9th month old decided that was not enough. He started throwing up his formula Thursday evening. Saturday we decided to take him to the Urgent Care as he was still throwing up and spiked a fever.

We had our quickest urgent care visit ever. We were in and out with him in less than an hour and a half and that included x-rays. It turns out that he has an ear infection and a virus that has settled in his chest. Motrin, abx and instructions we were on our way out the door.

The little man is still not feeling that great. He just had his first bottle in 3 days that he has not thrown up. I am praying that he has turned the corner. I feel so bad for him. He starts coughing and the pain makes him cry. It turns into a vicious cycle that we have not been able to break.

We did get good news as our prayers were answered. We got permission from the babies birthmother to take them to Hilton Head with us. We are so thankful that we are going to be able to show them the beach and the sand. God has been so good to us in answering our prayers to take our foster kids on vacation with us.

Today marks 27 months since our sweet boy flew to heaven. We miss him everyday. His absence leaves a mark on everything we do. We still feel his presence everyday. Our God has been faithful in helping us through this horrible experience. We have had times since Kyle died that we have felt like GOD was not with us and terrible things have happened. Those have been very low times but GOD has proven over and over again that HE is at work in everything. Those situations have been resolved and opened new opportunities. I love how GOD takes the worse things that happen to us and have good come out of them. The devil must get tired of not being able to take advantage of the negative before GOD steps in to save the day!!!!

Please pray for all our friends that are awaiting transplant especially Brody and Matisse. Please pray for all those that are struggling. Pray for those considering abortion. Pray for those who do evil when they believe they are following God but are really being led by the devil.

A new look is coming soon to this blog!!!! I can't wait to share it with you.
