Saturday and Sunday

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Rest is coming....it won't be long now...

Friday night, as soon as we got home from the ER with Sydaleigh, Marvelly developed a fever.
And it lasted all through the night.
She couldn't sleep. She couldn't breathe. Cried to cough. Was totally miserable.
Sydaleigh however slept soundly. Never woke once. Her fever stayed at bay and she was able to get a good night's rest.

Come morning light Marvelly had finally fallen asleep in our bed.
But just when you think it's your turn to get in on the whole sleep thing, I hear Sydaleigh playing with the princesses in her bed and calling me to join her.
Yup, she's feeling better.
Thank goodness one of them is.
Better get up quick before she wakes the baby.
But I didn't have to worry about Marvelly being woken up by Sydaleigh, her inability to breathe did that for her.
Called the base 'acute care' clinic.
They couldn't help her.
Took Marvi to a local urgent care.
They wouldn't help her.
By 4:00 in the afternoon Marvi was so bad I had no choice but to go back to the ER.
And you know what....they did help her.
Big dose of Tylenol to bring her fever down, a breathing treatment, two shots of steroids, lots of ooh's and ahh's over how darn cute she is (even when sick), a little teddy bear to take home and we were in much better shape.
Praise God for good doctors who actually care.
Marvelly was so worn out she slept soundly straight through the night. Never woke. Never coughed. Nothing. Out.
Sydaleigh on the other hand didn't fare so well last night.
She woke at 3am burning up- fever came back with vengeance on that girl.
She nestled down in our bed to watch Veggie Tales, but then started complaining that she had a stomach ache, and sure enough, she got sick while Isaak was holding her.
She had a fever for the first half of the day today but woke up from nap nice and cool.
And Marvelly seems to be making a comeback-talking, flapping her arms all around, being a baby.
I was about to say that it looks like tonight is our night for a good night's sleep for all....
but Marvelly just woke up...it's 10:30pm...
...Isaak is in her room trying to put her back to sleep...
...not sure if it's going to work....
...I'm really tired.....
...want my girls to get better....
...praying God washes them in strength tonight and they wake up healthy and renewed....

....until tomorrow....
