Then Another One Bit the Dust :(

Literally just as Hudson was feeling

"all better" from the flu,

South Bosque called to tell me that

Hadlee had fever:(

She didn't want me to come get her

because she didn't want to ruin her

perfect attendance AND she didn't want

to take Tamiflu;(

She kept just saying she was "tired"...

this was her on the way home:(

This sweet child absolutely

breaks my heart when she is sick:(

Her eyes:(

She is so needy and sweet

and sad when she's sick:(

And sleepy...very, very sleepy

After about two days of feeling HoRRiBLE,

our sweet girl started to perk up again:)

We knew she was starting to get

better when she wanted to play games

and eat Bush's Chicken!  ha!

Her brothers couldn't wait for their

sister to be back playing, too:)

When my kids are sick,

it's usually with something that I know will pass.

I am miserable when one or more of my

kids are sick.  Troy is, too.  It's like our

world just kinda stops.  Times like

these really REALLY remind me just

how blessed we are.  I know that

the health of our children and ourselves

could change in an instant. 

When my babies are sick,

I pray extra hard for mommies

who have children with illnesses

that aren't just going to pass.

I can't imagine:(
