Persistent bugs

Well, I'd love to say that we're all healthy and back to normal. But, I can't. Sherry and I are almost back to 100%, but Josh continues to struggle. Yesterday, we went to the pediatrician in the morning and they were concerned that he was still dehydrated (even though his been drinking a fair amount of liquid). Based on that, they sent us to the Emergency room to get an IV. Several hours and 2 liters of fluid later, we were done. So far, he's missed the last 4 days of school.

Chinese Stomach Bugs

Well, it's 9:30pm and I (Rich) just got home from my 6 hour visit at the Urgent Care center. After a liter and a half of IV and the start on some powerful antibiotics, I feel a little better. The doctor definitely thought it was a combination of a stomach bug and dehydration. Now that I'm home, it's Sherry's turn. We swapped cars on her way there and my way home. I home that the IV does as much for her as it did for me. Now, all we have to do is keep everyone else healthy (and back on a normal schedule). Maryn still doesn't seem to know when it's night and day. Neither does Caleb. They both woke up around 3:00am this morning. Of course, then Caleb fell asleep later and slept most of the day. Tomorrow won't be pretty as he has to get on a closer to normal schedule; given that school start on Tuesday. Thanks to all our friends and neighbors that stepped in today with food, more food, and baby sitting.

100% Home, not yet 100% Healthy

Rich and Josh made it home safely last night! Josh was feeling well enough to travel and is on the mend. Rich and I have come down with some stomach issue and Maryn is having some problems again, though you'd never know it if you could see her playing on the floor in front of me. She was "reading" some books a while ago. Now she is banging on a package of baby wipes with one of her sandals and laughing at herself in between smiling at me. :)

We appreciate your continued prayers that we are all healthy very soon!
