My sweet friend Lori came to the hospital tonight and stayed with Ryan and sent Travis and me on a wonderful dinner date. It was great to get away for a few hours since we have had absolutely no time together alone since Travis broke his foot 2 1/2 weeks ago. Tomorrow I am going to spend the evening with the older kids since I’ve hardly seen them in the past 1 1/2 weeks.These past couple of weeks have been so hard on the older kids! It breaks my heart and is simply not fair. 

Ryan is doing OK I guess you could say. He has a small soft stool today which is progress but we tried to let him eat a small amount of Cheerios and water and it gave him terrible stomach cramps. It doesn’t look like we’ll be getting out of here any time soon. And my niece won’t either. She is still on oxygen and can not keep her O2 levels up when sleeping and walking. It’s hard to be hospitalized with a wiggly two year old! I’m glad we are next to each other to help each other out. And our kids go to the same elementary school so we can drive together as well. 

Please pray both these kids turn a corner soon. It would sure be nice to have healthy kids so we can sleep in our own beds and have our families back together. My older sister reminded me of one of my favorite passages today ~  Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
