Kaitlyn's feeling better

I wasn't going to post about this because it's kind of personal, but we just want to say thank you to each of you who were praying for Kaitlyn. Last month she had bronchitis, which turned into pneumonia-thanks to the Martin Army Pediatric Clinic. Two weeks ago she had a stomach virus which made her miserable for about 24 hours. Then this week, since Sunday she's been so sick with something else that she was unable to eat, open her eyes or even move . She started feeling better on Tuesday, but we think she was suffering from a kidney infection and even last night after 2 days of antibiotics and lots of tylenol and motrin, she still had a fever of 101. I say we "think" it was a kidney infection, because the Doctor didn't tell us what was wrong-just threw some antibiotics at her. All her symptoms pointed toward a kidney infection. Anwyay, this morning, the fever was finally gone, and after we took Alan and Sarah to school she wanted to play "stage". So we put some curtains up in the living room, and she and William put on a show.

Prayer works.

We're still praying that she will continue to feel better and not get sick again. We're also praying that the Doctors will have more concern for her than they've been showing and help us find out why she's been getting so sick so often.

Happy Birthday to me and Tom

Yesterday was my birthday, and last Saturday was Tom's birthday. He was in Colorado for his birthday and didn't get to do anything special. He came home Saturday night, and so we celebrated both his and my birthday yesterday. It was a happy family day. All I wanted for my birthday was to have Tom home since he's been gone on my birthday for multiple years. For fun I made an oreo ice cream cake. I just made a simple chocolate cake in two round cake pans, put ice cream in the middle, and frosted it with homemade whipped cream and oreo cookies.

YUM!
