We ask once again that you pray for Josiah. He has been sick the last few days, and is starting down the all-too familiar road to the hospital, unless the Lord interevenes. The leaf mold in this area is very high right now, and combined with the cold, has made his breathing difficult. Right now, we are only giving treatments every 4-6 hours, which is pretty good. Our request is that you would pray that the medications he is getting would be sufficient to keep the inflammation down in his airways and to keep him from having an acute asthma attack. The next 24 hours are very crucial - it could go either way very quickly. Last night he had a temperature of 102 and woke up vomiting around 1a.m. His temperature is lower this morning, but he still has a fever of 100.1, and is still sick to his stomach. The Lord has blessed us with a friend in the church who "happens" to be a respiratory therapist in a nearby hospital. She listened to Josiah last night with her stethescope and said he was moving air very well, which relieved me to no end.
Esther also has the same cold and cough. She had a fever last night of 99.5, which isn't too high, but we covet your prayers for her, too.
Abigail has had a cold for some time, but since she only has the cough and runny nose, she is feeling somewhat neglected. Pray that each child will receive the attention and care that he needs.
A verse that keeps coming to mind is Psalm 100:3, "Know ye that the LORD, he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves..." God made each one of our children, and He knows best how to care for them. Ps. 100:5 "For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth to all generations." I will keep you updated on any changes.
