Swallowing Pills!

Micah received the medicine for the trial on Wed after his MRI. What a crazy day that was, all day at Children's and sick kiddos. Dad was taking care of Cianne at home and Braet was with us at the hospital or rather with some of his fav people at Volunteer Services (thanks Girls!) Then I get a call from dad, Cianne has thrown up 6 times and he wants to know where he can find more clothes~ meanwhile I went to check on Braet he started throwing up too! We finally got home at 6 and poor Braet and Cianne are still sick, fever and throwing up. Micah decided to join in the fun at 6 this morning while I was giving Cianne a bath to clean her up! I guess this yuckie virus is moving from brother, to sister to brother to uncle....who's next?! All during the time, Braet has been a champ not complaining but whenever he start to throw up he puts his hand on my arm and say, "Pray, momma," and if I stop before he's finished we asks me to,"Pray," again.
We should receive the MRI results back next Tues or Wed. The first night of pill (not penny) swallowing was horrible, Micah was very upset and I was too! I realize I have been putting more "hope" (hope only belongs in the Lord) in this new drug than I thought and was really upset when it appeared this might not work. Luke prayed for all of us ~We got 3 pills in him and he threw up 2 twice while we were trying to get them down. Last night, first we prayed then told Micah he needed to take his medicine with a bite of ice cream after that he could drink it down with his Pepsi. It worked, thank the Lord! Micah was able to swallow the 2 small pills (about the size of a large Tic-Tac the large one are about the size of a Mike&Ike, he has to take 2 of each). So we would sure appreciate your continued prayers that little man would be able to swallow the pills and that this new medicine would work well. Micah has gained a pound since last his last visit. This is always good, he is now up to 31 lbs!
Mom is doing pretty well, hopefully she doesn't get this virus. She's being going to doc appts and has started back to work (not always a full day yet). It's probably safer for her to be there than here! Dad is at the doc this morning and they are reviewing his MRI of his knee, they think he may have torn a ligament behind his knee that may require surgery. I don't think the recover time is to long but we'll find out later what exactly going on.
All the while our hearts are being shaped and we are seeking to cling tighter to the cross for we are desperate for strength and we have none of our own and we know our faithful Lord is willing and able to give us his. Each day has proven to have great challenges (like 10 loads of laundry =)~ thanks Mom!, what would I do without her. You can't keep her down even though I've tried!) Grace and mercy for each new day! At times I've so wanted to have more than 24 hours in a day and now I am ever so grateful that God does all things well and in His wisdom he chose to give only 24 for each day!
It's Braet B-day weekend here, hopefully he'll feel better soon! Have a great weekend!


Thanks!!
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Eph 3:20-21
