We've been battling with a wide range of illness in our family. Last week Anya had a fever and cold for 4 days, and happened to have some neck pain at the same time. This gave us a little meningitis scare...but it turned out to be coincidence. She doesn't have meningitis, praise the Lord! However, the doctor put her on a low grade penicillin to kick whatever she had. Tuesday Anya threw up all of a sudden. And Wednesday she woke up with a red raised rash all over her arms, legs and torso, and she was itching like crazy! It looked like hives to me...I wondered if it was connected to her medicine because I hadn't given it to her after she threw it up the day before. I called the doctor and he said to keep an eye on it...it could have been because of her fever or the medicine. Well, it got worse and this morning it was all over her face, head, neck, and whole body. They've spread into elongated red designs that looks like she has a map of countries and islands all over her body. All this while Lily has had a fever and cold for the past 2 days, and Christian started in with the same flu last night! It seems like every day/night someone gets sick with something else. I took Anya to the doctor today and it seems she's having an allergic reaction most likely to penicillin. When we got home and gave her her medicine, she spit it up all over the couch. She's still red (with shades of pink from the caladryl lotion) and itching, but it seems to be getting a little bit better. Sadly, we weren't able to go to the airport today to say goodbye to Bobby and Alexandra and the summer project.:( It's a bummer all around.
~Please pray for COMPLETE healing for Anya, Lily and Christian.
~Pray for protection for all of us from anything else physically. And I know it's not coincidence that we've been taken out this week by illness when there is a revival happening on campus! Pray for us and our team in the spiritual battle as well, that we'll all be up and fully functioning next week!
~Pray for patience and flexibility for me as I run our in home hospital for the family:)
~Pray everyone will sleep well tonight. We all need rest.
Thank you!
