Cuddling with Mommy

One lab report for Nathan (and for those of you who know us well enough, we're getting awfully tired of stool samples!!!)...

One parasite for Nathan...

One stomach virus for Nathan...

50 bajillion pukings...

50 bajillion dirty diapers (okay this one isn't quite such an exaggeration)...

50 bajillion loads of laundry...

Lots of medicine...

LOTS of Backyardigans and Little Einsteins...

Lots of carpet cleaner...

Lots of waking during the night...

Parasite medicine still in the box for fear he'll puke it up...



ALL make for (drumroll please)...


A sick little guy...

A sick daddy (who we think caught part of the stomach virus part)...

A smelly house (and family for that matter)...

And a tired, but content mommy because Nathan has cuddled more with this mommy in the last two days than I think he has his entire life here on this earth...

(I'm trying to see my glass half full :)

Please keep Nathan in your prayers; that the vomiting will pass, that we'll be able to start with the medicine that should take care of the parasite, and that the medicine will in fact take care of it! Thank you for your constant prayers for our family, we covet them, and have such peace knowing that we are always surrounded and protected by your petitions to our heavenly Father on our behalf! God bless you all!

    Since you are looking on the bright side: Thank you, God, for holding back the sickness in this little one until AFTER his mommy got her much needed and deserved time to focus on herself and you!

    prayers for Nathan and you all

    As sad as it always is when our little ones are sick, I'm also always grateful that they're more cuddly then. (It even goes on to the 4-yr-olds.) I hope Nathan & Gary get to feeling better soon.

    Amen to the previous comment! May you all be better soon because when dad and babe are better, mom is better. Love you.

    We will add a special prayer for Nathan and his Dad.

    Hope Nathan doesn't share with Mom on this one.

    God Bless.
