Day 47

     Seriously, I don't know what the deal is.  If it's not one of us, it's the other.  Katie is doing fine today, but Conner still has a fever.  We took him to "Twilight Pediatrics" tonight - because nothing else was open today.  His glands are swollen and his fever was 102.6 at the doctors office (on ibuprofen).  We still are not sure what he has, but since his glands are swollen, it isn't a virus (I'm told).  We just got home at 9:50 p.m.  Conner is eating eggs at the moment - the first real thing he has eaten in 2 days.  He will be on antibiotics for the next 10 days.  Katie is still on her intravenous antibiotics 3 times a day (getting her 3rd dose for the day, as I write this), so hopefully, she won't get whatever it is that Conner has.  Hopefully the rest of us won't get it either!  We have been a pretty healthy family - up until now anyway!  We have never had so much sickness as we have during this past month or two.  I don't understand it...
     Dr. James Dobson has said, "Our task is not to decipher exactly how all of life's pieces fit and what it all means, but to remain faithful and obedient to Him who knows all mysteries."  "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you..." (James 4:8)  Today we are glad the Freeman's let Scott & Katie, Cooper and Nathan come and ride their mule today - and let Conner collect some eggs.  It was memorable and joyful.
