What a crew!


We have got one sick house here! This picture shows you what I'm dealing with. Abby and William have had the fever, cold, cough thing. She is finally starting to get some collor back in her cheeks. I think she is on the mend. For some reason she is always the first to get sick and the first to get better. William is just one big fever booger and all he wants is to be held. Holding him isn't a bad thing at all because he is so cuddly! Hopefully he will be feeling better by tomorrow. Charlie ended up getting what the other two have the day after being at the hospital. He is a trooper. For some reason Donald has a broken blood vessel in his eye and it looks like I punched him out. It is not hurting him, but boy does it hurt to look at!
I spoke to the Doctor on Friday and the tests for Charlie came back positive for inflamatory bowel disease. The doctor said right now because of where it is effecting him it is ulcerative collitis. He prescribed medicine for him which was really difficult to get but I will post about that another time. We have to go back on Tuesday to meet with a team. I have a million questions and hopefully we will get them all answered then. I know that it could be so much worse, but I still wish that it didn't have to be anything at all. He is my baby!
Thanks again for all of your kind words and prayers. We will get him on track and feeling better.

Geez . . . my Google Reader had a hiccup, and now I am lost! First, I hope everyone is on the mend soon! Second, having people think you punched out your hubby might not be a bad thing. And third, lots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way . . . the diagnosis isn't a great one, but it is an answer, and hopefully something that can be managed. He strikes me as a very resilient little boy who won't let something like this slow him down. (And I hope you are hanging in there as well - no sickies!)

As sick as they all are.......this picture made me smile :) It's a new week......hopefully everything will get better :)

Mary said...

I didn't look closely the first time.......don't you so wish you could go back to the days of hugging your baby doll and your blankie to make everything all better? I love that she's so girly like that :)

Oh my, I hope they feel better. Sick kids just break my heart.

I'm sorry that it has to be anything at all. The important thing is, you all have each other. You're still in my prayers and will be for a while.

I know everyone is feeling icky and you must be so tired, but this picture really does show what "family" is all about. You truly are blessed.

Lisa,

I'm so sorry that you're all feeling so bad, man, when it rains it pours! The fever, virus thing will run it's course, hopefully it will be over very soon. (still no fun for sure) Poor little Charlie, I'm sure the doctors should be able to give you a better idea of what is going on now that they've completed some tests. You'll all be in my prayers, and hoping for good news for Charlie! Take care.

I am thankful that you got answers for Charlie, hopefully they will be able to answer some of your questions. I will be keeping you guys in my prayers~ All of you, it's not easy having a sick house. I hope you are able to get some rest as well.

Oh, Lisa! What a sickly, pathetic-looking little group you have there! I can't help but chuckle just a little because each one looks a little sicker than the one before, and they're all still precious...probably even the big one :)! As for Charlie...I will just keep those prayers going for him. There are no words that I can say that will make you feel better because it's awful to have your child diagnosed with something that a child shouldn't have to deal with. However, at least now you KNOW what you're dealing with and will be able to get a plan in place. Which is so much better, in my opinion, than sitting around, waiting and wondering and having your mind run away with you! Charlie is such an intelligent little boy and that will help him get through this. And you, Lisa, have me and your other blogger friends--and the rest of your family--to help you through it. Here for ya! And hope "the sicky group" starts feeling better quick!

Ohhhhh..... they may be sick but how cute are ALL OF THEM. That must have been the purpose of your post. Yes? Too rub CUTENESS in our noses.

Thanks for the cuteness dose!

I'm praying for you all, babe! At least you've got a name for what's wrong and hopefully the medicine will help very soon.

I came over from Amy's, just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and praying for your family..what beautiful children you have!

Misty said...

I was checking through blogs, and I remembered your sister (?), one of them, actually both of them requested prayers for your children. How are you and they doing? For some silly reason, just thinking about you out here in Utah!
