poor sick girlie


Just a quick post to ask you to pray for our Alathea Joy. She's had some sporadic stomach pain on an off for a few weeks now. Honestly, I thought nothing of it, since she still seemed her normal self. Then early this week while my family was here she had some diarrhea. Again, thought nothing of it. But starting Wednesday morning she has been vomiting. Its been on an off...a few hours in the morning she feels OK (like on Wed- we were at the zoo!), but then by evening she's puking like crazy and buckled over in pain for hours and hours. I've been to the doctor three times...Thurs, Sat & again today. They have ruled out a virus (they don't think its contagious, good news with Abi being around her)...and are thinking maybe a gastritis, parasite or something kidney related. Again, these are all guesses. If she's buckled over in pain again tonite they'd like us to take her to Levine's  Children's hospital. Hopefully this is nothing major and will pass soon. But if it is something bigger causing this, please pray wisdom. Joe's been in FL the past three days, which has made things interesting to say the least :) Fortunately he is on his way home today!!! Please pray for wisdom & healing! Thanks so much!

Update (9pm): Alathea has had her best day yet! Maybe she's on the mend?? She is eating for the first time right now and not complaining about her tummy! Praise the Lord!

I'm so sorry you are going through this, Jeanie!! I know how it can so burden a mother's heart. I'll be praying for you, Alathea, and the doctors. Please update with any news!!
