Annie....

Thank you for praying for my little Annie. She is sick. Its such a bummer to be sick, especially when you are only 4 and you want to be playing with your new sisters.

We have had cold after cold after fever after fever after cold after cold this fall. I can't remember the last time David didn't have boogies coming out of his nose. Poor little guy.

Anyway, Annie had a rough weekend - high fever, congestion and cold. Fortunately I had lots of help from Auntie Rufie and Kelsey because Annie has been one sick little girl. I took her in this morning to the Dr. and found out she has pneumonia. Fortunately, it is mild enough I can keep her home with us. I am praying it will stay that way.

Today has been a long day. I have held her all day and we have definitely (remember I can gate the family room to keep us all together!) watched our share of TV today...several Praise Baby DVD's, every episode of "Frances", Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (I have never actually watched that before), and then to cap off the day a few episodes of House Hunters International.

She is sleeping off/on all the time and still has a high temp. (up to 104 at times) I am trying to push the liquids as much as I can and medicine for the fever periodically. (anyone who knows Annie, knows Annie does not do medicine.) I have tried disguising it in every bloomin' thing I can think of without success. Usually, I just hold her down and squirt it in the side of her mouth. Sometimes, it works.

Anyway, thank you for praying for Annie and the rest of us.

Thank you Jesus for giving us bodies that heal. And thank you for giving us such wonderful friends that pray for us and help us out!
