Thankful and Prayer

I'd like to request prayer for a few people.

1.  Luke was getting better and is over the flu like symptoms.  However, he spiked a high fever again last night and started coughing and wheezing.  Maybe it's from lying in bed for 4 days but for whatever reason, he is now sick with lung / asthma issues.  But I am thankful that I have breathing treatment medicine for him and can give him breathing treatments at home until I can call (or go to) the doctor tomorrow to get an antibiotic.

2.  Rob's mother, Pat, will be having knee replacement surgery tomorrow at 12:30 p.m.  Please pray for her. 

3.  Rob's father, Jim, has been in the hospital to drain all of the extra fluid.  He is home now and trying to finish the process there.

4.  My almost 11 month old cousin, Isaac, has been in the hospital for Bronchitis.  He is out of the hospital now and doing much better.

And since Luke and I could not go to church today, Anna drove my dad and Wesley to church. 

 

Now, taking my dad to church is not just as simple as transportation.  Someone who knows how to take care of his blood glucose levels is required.  That's where Wesley came in.  My Anna did the driving.  My Wesley took care of my dad's diabetes.  

Wesley knows how to check my dad's sugar and what to do if it's low.  He carried a back pack with the supplies to church with him.  Wesley checked my dad's sugar between Sunday School and Worship and made sure he ate some crackers and had some water and had the soda ready if it had been low.  

My Anna and my Wesley were, rightfully so, a little nervous this first time of taking my dad somewhere by themselves.  They've seen my dad convulsing in his bed from low blood sugar levels.  They've seen him at his worst.  But they did it and they did a great job.  

As they were driving away, I heard Wesley ask Anna why she had on all purple today.  

My dad swiftly answered excitedly, "Because Anna must have known that I am teaching about Lydia today and how she sold purple cloth."  

I smiled.

I am proud of my babies.  And it is ever present in my mind that they are growing up too fast.  I also know that they will always be my babies no matter how old they get and I am so thankful to be their "Mama!"
