Ladies, Ladies…All the Ladies!!

Thank you SO MUCH for all of your prayers!  I just wanted to send out a quick update on our little girl.  I’ve never had a child this sick before… high fever for almost 4 days… not eating…no moving… just laying around… so sad…  Anyway.. Friday afternoon her fever broke… she ate a little, then this morning she woke up and had a rash all over her body.  Chris said it was probably r

roseola.  I know this little virus… Josh has had it before… but they weren’t sick for this long… so it had me a little concerned.  Today she didn’t have fever… she’s not herself, but eating a little more.  I just thank you for your emails… comments… and I FELT your prayers. 

Speaking of prayers… on a lighter note… tonight we asked the boys what they wanted to pray for… here were their requests:

Will:  “Please help the trip to Disney World not be so long”

Josh: “umm, rainbows and pray not to say ‘dookie’ “

–just FYI…dookie is a word that unfortunately came from MY MOUTH as I was cleaning up a mess of it from Will and I was so angry at him for the disaster that I needed a stronger word other than “poo-poo”…. I figured from all of the other choice words that I WANTED to say..that wouldn’t be so bad.  Well a few weeks later I realized that I was mistaken.  My father was keeping the boys one night and poor Al encountered one of Will’s “Miralax dose gone wrong” and Dad said as he was cleaning him up he just kept saying… “Gross Will…YUCK!  This is AWFUL!!”  He said Will looked back at him and said, “My mommy calls this dookie”. Yep,  I know… I’m terrible.  Anyway.. so after that…they keep saying that nasty little word and well.. I apologized and we have sort of banned it from our house (just not a very nice word to say)…. Well… Josh still has a hard time NOT saying it. So he likes to pray that Jesus will help him not to say it. 

Ok… sorry for the long and boring blog… BUT  praise the Lord that Emma Faye seems to be recovering….all of you have a great night!
