Thank You!

Thank you all so much for your prayers - we've been throw up free since Thursday night! Oh - that was just awful. On Thursday neither boy could even keep water down - it was almost instant - take a sip of water and back it came. We were only giving them sips at a time to try and keep it down but they were BEGGING for water - do you know how terrible you feel when your baby is crying for water and he can't understand that if he drinks too much he'll be sick again so you can't give it to him. James seemed to understand a little better that he was sick and actually would tell us "I'm tired" and go get in bed and sleep. John-Mark on the other hand was so confused. We knew he was about to get sick because he would always start screaming crying because he didn't like the way he felt - such sad boys. It seems like we get a stomach bug at least once a year and it just sucks the life out of us for a couple of days. It's so draining when your babies are sick - just the worry that your struggle with. At one point we were really concerned with dehydration because they couldn't keep anything down. I can't even imagine what it is like for families who's babies are REALLY sick and struggling with disease. My heart goes out to them. It makes me want to run up to Children's and hug every mamma and daddy up there - Lord, send your healing Power!
Here's a pic of poor John-Mark in the midst of it - Praise God this morning he has his energy back and the light back in his eyes!
Thank you all again for your prayers. I know it may seem kind of crazy to ask for prayer on our blog but on Thursday night I was totally at the end of me and needed to know there were others out there holding us up as well and we just didn't have the time or energy to call everyone.
So far Gracie only got sick that one time before I posted and has been in the clear. Please continue to pray she stays healthy - and Jeremy. He left for work this morning feeling a little puny - please pray that the Lord would renew his strength and he would be able to make it through the day with energy!
