Enough is enough!

I know, I know- all I ever talk about is us being sick, but when that is all that is going on it's hard to find something else to say. I mainly just wanted to keep you all posted; especially for those of you who are praying. We are still sick! I really can't believe it. Joren and I are on day 12 and Jeven day 13! Joren has been pretty much fine the whole time. I think she got a milder version. I mostly just feel sick all the time, with an occasional wave of almost having to puke, but still haven't. And my little Jeven has had his worst 2 days today and yesterday. I woke up yesterday morning so excited because he had gone 2 days without puking, which was definately something to be happy about. However, within an hour of being awake, he started having diarrhea and it really didn't stop until he went to bed. Interestingly, it did stop through the night and once again, no puke!! I am particularly excited about that because I have been home alone and was dreading the thought of having to hold the bucket! But once again, this morning, about an hour after waking up, he started the diarrhea again. Fortunately, he hasn't had any in about 7 hours now, but he hasn't been feeling well at all these past 2 days. And the worst part is that the 2 days before that he was feeling great, having normal poop and eating great!! This bug is so emotional-you think you are over it, you can almost taste normalcy, and then boom-you are hit again and the roller coaster continues. I am really trying to glean everything I can from this time with the Lord, but I am mostly now just sad, worn out, emotionally drained, and annoyingly, still not feeling well myself! So, that should help with the specifics on how to pray. Thanks, by the way, for all of you who are praying. I know that is what is getting us through this! I really hope my next post will be a praise that we are all over it!!
