Hiding Away
What a day! Or days depending how you look at it. Last night after returning from the canoe trip Debra and I started to notice things like sore throats, sinus problems and fever. Debra seemed to have a fever and we tried to go to bed at a decent time and get some rest. At 12:30 I woke up with an extremely sore throat and a fever, I manged to fall asleep again until 1:30am but then woke up once more. This time though there was no turning back, for the life of me I couldn’t go back to sleep! I felt sorry for Debra all night as I listened to her struggling to get a breath out. Canaan slept but whimpered in his sleep all night and finally at 4:30 woke up. I went in to check on him and both eyes were completely crusted shut! He looked so sad. Last evening before we went to bed we had a sense that things were coming our way so we called Mom and she showed up this morning to help out with Canaan. THANKS MOM!!! That was a big relief and Debra was able to sleep in, her fever seemed to leave during the night. We were able to take Canaan to the doctors this morning and get drops for his eyes. We hid out at home all day and hope to get to bed early tonight! Please pray for us as we battle the onslaught! Debra is still very congested and my throat and fever (101.3) are still present.
Thanks everyone for your support and prayers, we appreciate it!
As requested, here is a picture of the boy. No matter how sick or upset he is, a bath always helps. (He may shoot us later for putting this picture up :o)

Oh man! Sorry to hear how lousy you are all feeling! I’ll say some prayers for ya! It really stinks to be sick. I’ve got the whole sore throat and congestion thing going on but luckily have avoided anything more serious like the fevers you guys have had. Hope you’re all feeling better today!
I am sorry to hear that the two of you are feeling sick. Being sick sucks!! Doese canaan have pink eye? Crusty eyes is usually the first indication of that, but the eye drops work effectively and work fast! Hope and pray that all of youfeel better.
