Getting better...

So, even in sickness, we get to see yet another miracle. Joey was almost admitted yesterday by the nurse practitioner. He looked pretty rough. However, she opted to get the ped who knows Joey better. He came in to check and said he certainly was a sick little guy but he was willing to try him at home. So, we left... but the miracle is what the ped shared with the nurse practioner. he told her that in the past, when Joey is sick, he's very weak, floppy and lethargic. Joey was alert, he had strength still AND he was fighsty about being examed! This was an awesome praise! Joey's been running a temp as high as 103 and he's fighting it on his own. We are giving him breathing treatments to aid his asthma so he doesn't get pneumonia, but we aren't giving him any added medications. Isn't God awesome? Thank you all for standing with us and praying. when we were too weak to trust God, many of you held us up and trusted for us! I am eternally thankful for the church family God has given us and the friends we have near and far! We love all of you and could not have gotten here with out you! -Mindy

Praying for all of you. Yes... Us moms will do anything for our kids, even when it means losing sleep, not eating and staying sick long than them. Im so glad Joey avoided the hospital and I hope he gets better SOON and so do you.
HUGS,

That is so awesome to see that the doctor realized the differences in Joey and shared that experience with the NP! Isn't it awesome to have a doctor that's a Christian too...in case you didn't know that, I am sure he knows who is taking care of your baby?!!(that is if you saw Shoemaker..which I am only assuming you did) I am glad to hear that Joey is resting at home and that our God is taking care of him! Take care of him and of yourself! Get well soon!
