Quick Update

Just a quick update on what has been going on around here. On Saturday Sheri took Kiera and Caleb to Urgent Care. Kiera had an earache and we wanted to have Caleb checked as his cough was getting worse. Kiera has a double ear infection (which we figured would probably happen) and they admitted Caleb into the hospital because his oxygen levels were pretty low.

Sheri spent the night with Caleb in the hospital last night and neither of them got much sleep. Caleb required oxygen several times throughout the night but his lungs still sound clear which is good. Most likely he will be in the hospital at least one more night. They won't discharge him until he is eating more consistently and his oxygen levels stay up while he sleeps.

Joel seems to be doing pretty well. He doesn't have near the symptoms that Caleb has. We are praying that he is able to get through this without needing to go to the hospital.

My (Ryan) parents are coming up this afternoon to watch Kiera and Joel so I can give Sheri a break for a few hours in the hospital. We don't want to take Joel to the hospital and possibly further introduce him to RSV.

A big answer to prayers is that Sheri's mom was able to find a reasonable ticket to fly out here and she will be flying in Monday morning.

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!

Just saw your blog( passed on by your mom's email, Sheri ). You have been through some trying times but persevered! Praise God for answer to prayers. We continue praying for good health for all of you. Such cute pictures including Kiera's pony!! I'm amazed that you find time yet to update your blog with all the activity going on at your house!!
