Last Wednesday night, after church, we noticed Lilah had a fever. Since then, she has yet to recover. I took her to the doctor the very next day. Dr. Beasley said, "She has a virus!" I decided to go to Raleigh, NC for the weekend anyway (there was MUCH debate and back and forth about it, after all, I didn't want to get anyone else sick!), because I didn't want to miss Salene's birthday party. By Sunday, Lilah had to visit the ER in Raleigh at Wake Medical Center. Lilah's fever has spiked as high as 103. Poor baby. The throw ups and diarrhea have now begun. She has been placed on tamaflu. Unfortunately, she didn't start it until yesterday because when I went to fill her prescription, Walgreens was out of it. I did finally find a place yesterday that had it...Kroger of all places. She received her second dosage this morning, but threw it up.
I am trying to prepare for a visit from my mom and sister who I haven't seen in over 18 months (sad to say). The laundry is piled high, the house is remotely clean, and the refrigerator is EMPTY, but as much as I feel God is testing my patience, I am THANKFUL to Him that ONLY Lilah and Darren are sick. I just heard that a local neighbor has two kids sick with the swine flu, the mom has it, and the 3rd child just fell and broke his arm in 2 places, ALL while her husband is OUT of town. I'm trying really hard not to grumble or complain after hearing that!
Please keep Liley Bo Biley as well as daddy in your thoughts and prayers.
I'm sure you are wondering HOW IN THE WORLD am I finding time to upload photos and blog. Darren and I had to GIVE UP on working out this week completely (VERY ODD FOR US, ESPECIALLY HIM) because the nights are long and the sleep is choppy. So, I am able to stay up a little late to get some FREE time to myself.
