3 Things

I've been wanting to do a blog about our goals for 2011 (4 months into the year, I know) and how we're doing with them. I've wanted to show the kids and the new spring activities they're doing. It seems time has gotten away from me though, so I'm just highlighting the top 3 things occupying my mind lately.

1.) It's wedding season! I'm very honored to be part of two special weddings this year. The first one was last weekend. E and I took the opportunity to stay out and get a full night's sleep. It was a beautiful day! Congrats Lisa and Brad!




2.) Do you ever feel like a song must have just been written for you? I was in the car when I heard this song for the first time. My mouth literally just dropped and I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't wait to get home to have E listen to it. You just have to love the subtle (and not so subtle) little reminders from God that he is always watching over us. Listen closely....."What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near"


3.) Finally, the thing that has been most on our minds this past week, Mr Konnor and his pnuemonia.

When we got home from the wedding on Sunday, he wasn't feeling well and had started running a high fever. I thought he sounded croupy so we made a quick trip to urgent care where they said it was an ear infection and started us on some amoxicillin. It was his first abx and especially being so young, I felt a bit hesitant, but we started it since he was so miserable. By Tue afternoon, he was worse, taking in litttle to no fluids and running pretty constant at 103-105. I took him in the next day and after a chest xray and his O2 saturation at 90%, we had our dx. Thankfully the omnicef killed the fever and perked him up within 24 hrs. He's drinking and nursing again, but still a pretty pitiful little soul. We plan to keep him home most of the week to get those lungs doing better. Prayers for a quick recovery are definitely appreciated!
