Posted in Noah Updates

You all know me. If things are going smoothly, I may not blog every day, but I've always promised to blog if there was anything significant going on. I haven't blogged because I wanted to put up some photos and my laptop (where I have my photo software) has been acting just a bit flaky, so I keep putting it off. I've also been very, very, very busy with homeschooling and quite a few (a ton, really) of new projects for our business. Well, today I have to blog. Noah is alternating between unreasonably tired and insanely cranky (think rolling around on the floor screaming, and hitting/kicking/biting anyone who comes near.) I picked him up to try to love him out of the crankiness and realized he was really hot. He's got a temp of 100.5 . 101 lands him in the hospital automatically, but historically 100.5 is enough to do the job and get him a room. I've got a call in to Peds Infectious Disease. They will probably make the call as to what to do next. It could be that we wait and see, or that Noah's nurse comes out and does labs, or that we go to the hospital. Please pray for wisdom for the doctor and Jeff and I, and for whatever course we take to be SMOOTH. We would always prefer a direct admission over a night in the ER - for Noah's safety even more than our own convenience. Hannah's Christmas gift this year is that Jeff is taking her to Vision Forum's Father Daughter Retreat in GA. It's all she's talked about since Christmas. The retreat starts Friday - three days away. It is UNTHINKABLE to have her miss the retreat, and we aren't considering it as an option even if Noah is admitted - but we honestly don't have a Plan B. We are going to have to leave that one up to God and trust Him in that aspect of this as we trust Him in every aspect. Friends who could usually be called on to stay here with the dc so I could stay with Noah are out of town, and local family members are sick, but we know that God isn't about to hang us out to dry. One of Hannah's first questions after learning about the retreat (once she stopped screaming and hugging us LOL) was "What if Noah is in the hospital when it is time to go?" We did all we could do - we told her that we had prayed about giving her this gift, and that we could not stop living because of "what if's," and that we KNEW that God's hand was in this and that every need would be met. Now she gets to see His hand, and that is a blessing. That we need you to pray for Noah goes almost without saying. I believe he is in some sort of pain and I don't know how to help him. He isn't a roll on the floor and scream kind of guy. Quite a few of you commented or emailed about helping Hannah with her missions trip, and we are blessed and humbly thankful for your kindness. Any time that anyone wants to send something to Noah, or our family, or to Hannah, you can just mail it to the address on our website's contact us section. Here is the link: http://www.handsandhearts.com/index.asp?PAGEACTION=CONTACTUS . You can address it to whoever you are sending it to, and we will get it. Even if you address it to the business, our intrepid office manager James will figure out it's for us once he opens it . :-) I will update as soon as we have a plan. Blessings, Kate |
