This week has been quite crazy. On Tuesday I took Patrick to Women’s Bible Study at the church, and I think he caught a little bug. Some of the other moms had mentioned that their families were getting over a flu bug that was going around. Well, Patrick managed to catch it. On Wednesday when I went to give Patrick his morning bottle, his crib was a mess from throwing up, and he was not feeling too well. He had a 99.9 degree temp all day yesterday, very loose stools, and wasn’t his active little self. Today I woke up to find another crib mess and a still very unhappy little boy. It’s so hard to see your little one suffering from any kind of sickness, but this has been the first big flu that Patrick has ever had, so it’s been especially difficult for us. We have him on clear liquids, jello and advil right now. I really hope this sickness clears up soon because Friday is his special little holiday, St. Patrick’s Day, and we are planning to have a special dinner with Oma and Opa that night, and it would be sad if our own little St. Patrick wasn’t able to enjoy his party.

We’d appreciate prayers for our little guy, and more prayers that Andrew and I won’t catch Patrick’s flu. Thanks!
