Ok, so this is obviously a Google picture, but this is what we felt like inside when we woke up this morning! Thank the Good Lord, We made it threw the past few days!!! Ava came down with an ear infection and bad cold last week. I took her to the Doc on Wednesday, and he gave her antibiotics. She seemed to be getting better, then was up all night Friday with a fever, and crazy diapers if you know what I mean, about the same time she woke up needing comfort, Eli was in excruciating pain in both eyes, so we called a great friend at 4am to take Eli to the ER, turned out he had a massive eye infection, conjunctivitis. After Eli left, I started feeling super nauseous (no, I'm not pregnant……that was the start ;) I'm almost laughing as I type this. Yesterday we were an absolute mess between the three of us. Ava was actually feeling better and in good spirits, but Eli and I literally laid on the floor and couch in discomfort ALL day, being totally out of commission, both of us barely talked all day, just were miserable, only to rise to feed Ava meals, and change diapers…She was an angel, that was the saving grace, that and she took a three hour nap (amen, that's 2X as long as her normal naptimes). All I could pray last night was, Lord, Let your Mercies be SO apparent and new tomorrow morning!!!! Let it be…and it was! With the extra hour of sleep we woke up feeling so much better, we pulled the blinds in our room, to let beautiful light shine though and Eli made hot coffee……we just laid there with Ava relishing in feeling alive again. I know every family goes through this at one time or another, but this was our first experience all being totally laid out. I am SO incredibly thankful to feel ter and be somewhat functional today, enough to cleanup the aftermath of this home from the past few days.

Glad to hear the 'Stewart' family is on the mend and eveyone is feeling better:)
eekk! that made my heart pound & my palms get sweaty...i can taste how bad that is. but yes, He sees us through & somehow we are able to do far more than we thought possible. wait, so ava only takes a one hour nap each day...i'm not sure i'd make it through the day with that.
Hi Mandy,
That sounds herendous!! I am so glad to hear that you are all getting well. God is, indeed, good.
Your last post was really thought provoking, by the way. I have been thinking about the social service/Christian service thing for awhile too...convicting what you had to say.
Love to you three! Kelly
