The Lord kept us from the flu! We are so thankful for what He has done and for all your prayers. On Sunday, Mar 01, Kara was really sleepy and lethargic. I thought she was just trying to nap through church. But, may the Lord forgive me for my wayward thinking. Later that night Carrie, our friend and Kara's AWANA leader said she did not feel good, but did not have fever. During dinner her eyes became red and watery beyond her control and all of a sudden she had very high fever. We sought the Lord immediately for healing, comfort and strength. We stayed up through the night keeping her medicated and cool with wet rags. She got up to 104 degrees. By Monday morning she was better with only 100 to 102 degree fever. We kept her resting through the day. By Monday night, Ethan was also feverish. We had a great time Monday night as we moved all the little sicklings into our room so we did not have to run up and down stairs for medication. The Lord was once again good to us through the night as He pulled Ethan through. On Tuesday, Dr. Karr ran tests for strep and flu with negative results. Our family was delivered from those illnesses and the kids are on the road to recovery. Christian is beginning to feel a little weary, but knowing that the Lord has already been merciful gives us the strength to be on watch with him through his illness. Thank you for your prayers during this time. We have had an opportunity to stay together as I took off work. We also had an opportunity to pray and seek God's face. What a God He is to give us an opportunity to go through this together. God is good, all the time. The kids are now enjoying the day off watching movies and resting.
