Just can't catch a break.......

Sickness has "rained" into our lives....and now seems to be "pouring" into our lives and it seems as though we just can't "catch a break".....

Eric got sick with a nasty virus last Friday night which landed him in the ER on Saturday evening with a fever and chills and although to the healthy immune system it may have been nothing...to his it could have been detrimental.....and even though he got worse on Sunday before he got better....good news was he still got to have Chemo on Tuesday....so as of that day...we have 1 month to go of Chemo...just 2 treatments left until they re-evaluate if more is needed....please pray we are done and that the cancer is completely gone....

And of course it doesn't stop there......in a household of 6...if 1 is sick there is bound to be more.....and there is....Ana has been running a very low grade fever off and on all week with a minor cough....Eli...the healthy one is still gong strong talking our ears off...pretty sure a fever would not even slow him down right now....now if only we could convince him to do his "duty" on the toilet, the world would be a better place! Ema on the other hand is feeling crummy...high fever and terrible cough but still managed to pull 2 handfuls of "poo" out of her diaper today to hand over to her Grandma Judi....I'm sure it was lovely.....(thank you Judi for enduring all the "poo" in our house right now).....and where was I during that lovely gift hand-off...at the Dr. with the sickest little one right now...poor Adi a mere 6 weeks old and now has a terrible case of RSV...so we are now doing nebulizer treatments every 4 hours and are headed back to the Dr. tomorrow for a check up since we are closely monitoring her......I feel so bad for her...her little lungs are trying so hard to breathe, she has the most pitiful cough....1 because she doesn't know how and 2 because she hardly has the lung capacity to even get anything out and she tries to cry but is too hoarse to even be heard....pray she doesn't get worse...if she does...it will most likely land her in the hospital which we just don't need!


And so here she is taking in one of her treatments....

We are praying for you! We understand the chaos and discouragement sickness can bring so we will pray for healing as well!
