Heavy Heart

I've been in a bad mood all day. Everything irked me. The world just seemed off kilter and I've been mad about it. There were brief moments today when I realized that I was sad. It's the weather. I miss the sunshine. That's what I told myself. But no, it's just that my heart is heavy.

A little boy named Isaiah died early this morning/late last night just before I went to bed. I've never met him or his family but I'd been praying for them after some friends alerted me that he was not doing well and was in the hospital.

Now I pray for his mom and dad and my heart aches for them. Could you pray for them too?

There's More to Our Story

It has been a tiring, stressful week in the All Access Pass to Jack household. We thank you so much for your prayers and support. Jack did not vomit again last night and he settled into a restful sleep a little after midnight. He did not wake up crying any after that.

Apparently, Jack's recent stomach virus has temporarily (we hope) slowed down his ability to move food through his stomach resulting in nighttime vomiting. And he has a viral sinus infection and another ear infection.

This morning, he was a little irritable but he's usually that way when he has a new ear infection. He was fine after a little motrin. He went to school today. Ms. Sunny reports that he spent most of the day laughing. Ms. Denise was happy to report that he identified mini oreos as the black cookies.

Jack has had several rough nights from the vomiting that have left his parents completely exhausted. Children, however, bounce back from exhaustion a lot quicker. We were too tired to think of anything else wanted Jack to see what other children do when they are not at school so we let him watch a few You Tube videos. He has recently developed a fascination for little Ali so we watched her You Tube videos a few times. He was fond of her rendition of the ABC's but the Alabama Tutorial really got him moving.

 

It's 10 pm and Jack seems to be resting well and has not vomited. We are praying for a restful night's sleep. Good night!

We really just don't know....

I wanted to be witty tonight. I wanted to do a post Grasping for Objectivity-style that would make you chuckle about our doctor's visit today but my baby my sweet sweet baby just threw up again. And tonight it was much more than he threw up the past two nights. This was food that he ate 7 hours ago. It doesn't make any sense....and he keeps waking up crying. He just doesn't do that and of course I'm worried that maybe it's his head...please just pray.
