This is NOT our lucky day, week, month...

Clark's St. Patrick Day's craft
    I'm praying this verse for my family as we struggle with a very "unlucky" month.  (btw..I don't believe in luck.)

2010 has been hard on us, but this week as been the hardest by far.  In the past seven days, Joel had a high fever for two days and was diagnosed with an ear infection.  Then he developed thrush in his mouth and stopped eating and drinking because of the big sores and lesions.  Then a stomach virus hit our family and nearly destroyed us.   We each suffered for 4 days with symptoms and fatigue.  Then yesterday Joel broke out in a raised red rash.  The diagnois: hives from a reaction to the antibotics.   And last night, he couldn't sleep and that means his mommy and daddy didn't either.

My poor baby has had a bad cold, ear infection, thrush, stomach virus, and hives all in seven days.

Clark's hanging in there.  He hasn't eaten much in five days and has a mysterious fever for several days.  He's my very grumpy artist.

If I do find a leprechaun today, I might just forgo the gold and ask for a well kids, a big tv for Michael,  and a mommy spa day. ;-)

  3. Oh, poor baby!! I just want to give him a big hug. I hope this is the end of the illness for you guys! We have been off and on sick for the past two months, including a stomach bug too. Hopefully you have just condensed yours into one week and now you are clear for the rest of spring! Praying for you all, and especially for little Joel that he will heal quickly!
