Sickness...

Well this has not been the greatest week…Liam had/has his first virus. He had/is having high fevers, we are getting little sleep, and we have to give him tepid baths. Seeing his little body shiver seems so wrong. Last night we had to give him one at midnight…it was horrible.

We took him to a doctor on Thursday and she said it wasn’t an ear infection and that it must be a virus, of course he had no fever when we went to the doctor.

Seeing your child suffering is like no experience I have ever had. It is absolutely heartbreaking and exhausting. It has increased my prayer for others who have children who are truly suffering, not with a virus but with diseases that are threatening their lives. Not to mention, the Lord sending his own Son to suffer and die for us, and being glad to do so! I am so thankful to God that Liam has gone almost a full 7 months without being sick.

Sorry there are no pictures my camera is charging. But Liam is saying “Mama” clearly, I don’t think he knows what he is saying…but it is so sweet. Scott is very jealous, “He is supposed to say Da-Da first!” He does say “Ba-Ba” which means dad in Swahili, but that doesn’t quite cut it for Scott.
