Sick Kiddos!

Carmen update: Carmen spiked a 102.8 fever last night. She had a rough night with fevers and high heart rate (130s-160s). She is congested and just looks miserable. 

Lauren also had a fever over 102 last night so my guess is they are fighting the same bug. 

When Lauren gets sick, I give her Tylenol, lots of fluids and try to have her rest. When Carmen gets sick, I think, “Will she make it through this sickness?” 

It has been so long since Carmen has been sick. At least it seems like a long time. Maybe it has only been a few months.

Dave isn’t feeling well either. He has been coughing for weeks and is going to the doctor today. His sickness is most likely a combination of allergies and asthma.

We could sure use prayers here!

    Amelia’s heartrate is always in the 130s – 160s. I think that’s fine for a child their age. Hope everyone’s feeling better soon, and that you don’t get it.

    Hi Lana-

    I hope everyone feels better soon. I cannot imagine how scared you must be every time Carmen gets sick. You have our prayers for everyone to get well soon.

    We are praying as always, but now will pray more specifically.

    Hoping to get out there this week…if I don’t go crazy and cancel the whole trip. Hopefully we can see you soon.

    I hope everyone feels better soon! I just learned a great trick for managing a cough – honey! It is supposed to coat the throat, inhibit the cough reflex and kill bacteria with its acidity. I tried at the end of a cold and it worked great, not sure how good it would be when a cough is bad.

    Hugs and prayers!!!

    We can always tell when Elise has a fever or something is bothering her by her increased heart rate too. Carmen has shown many times that she is a fighter. I have hope that this illness will be no different! Maybe after a good rest tonight everyone will be feeling a little better tomorrow. Sending you all get better vibes…
