This is one of those
Did you ever have one of those
weeks? Yes, I mean one of THOSE
weeks.
A “those” week is when pretty
much nothing goes as planned, and it’s usually because of some type of trouble
or stress, right?
As for me and my house, this has been
one of those.
As I arrived home about 6:30 Monday
evening, Shelly told me that while Jericho (our 3 year old) seems to be better
(he had been sick to his stomach), Christian (our 17 year old) was now VERY
sick.
By 11 PM, I was also VERY
sick.
By 2 AM, Nile (the 2 year old) was
ALSO VERY sick.
For the next 48 hours I
would be oblivious to pretty much everything but my bed, my bathroom, and the
constant marathon repeat of the movie, “Cars,” that Jericho insisted would make
me feel better.
With Tuesday and Wednesday completely
shot, I began shifting gears in my head to make Thursday (today) nothing less
than amazingly productive with the style and power of Lightening McQueen!
Except Nile wasn’t better. Our little guy was actually worse, and Shelly
told me hadn’t really eaten or drunk anything and kept it down since
Monday. So she took Nile to the doctor,
while I returned a couple of days worth of messages and took care of Jericho
(i.e. watched the movie, “Cars” again).
It turns out Nile now has a severe double ear infection and was given an
antibiotic shot. Please join us in
PRAYER as we pray God heals him completely and protects him from possible
dehydration.
Meanwhile, let me just say
that my wife is one amazing Mommy! With this Sunday being Mothers' Day, this week has really made me take notice of all that she does... all that Moms do! Having a sick husband and sick kids is just par for the course of being a Mom. Also, wow... this is what my Mom did for me and my brother growing up! And still does in various ways!
When this becomes one of those, Moms take it all in stride and make it all better! Thank you to all the Moms who make our families! We probably don't thank you and honor you enough.
Show your Mom some love!
