I meant to get on here and ask for prayer... it's been crazy around here... Glenn, Seth and I all got sick about 3 weeks ago now with the dreaded swine flu. Glenn and I were to the place that we slept, slept, slept, would decide who could better crawl up the stairs to get things started for supper, and usually ended up there together to take care of it as a team. In the mornings, Cala was a major blessing! (and in the evenings too really).
Seth however, didn't get the flu as full blown as us...last week, Cala was sick in the same way Seth had been... fever, some aches, but nothing nearly as major as Glenn and I had been. (she was able to go back to school yesterday).
Seth however, got the full blown flu by last Thursday, and by Friday was also complaining of an ear ache.
Yesterday, I got him into the doctor who said not only was he dealing with the swine flu as we all had been, but Seth also was had an infection in BOTH ears!
The doctor instructed me on how many ounces per hour to get down Seth (he wasn't drinking OR eating!) and if he didn't drink enough, by the following evening (Tuesday), we would need to have Seth admitted to the hospital!!!
SO, Monday afternoon, I got on facebook and my email and let the internet world know of our need for prayer!
Then came Tuesday (yesterday).... Seth actually woke up withOUT a fever! (it was 102 in the doctor's office). We could tell he was feeling better, was back to talking (which he had totally stopped before except for a grunt here and there), and even ate a few bites!
By evening, the fever was back but we did manage to get him to drink some. He still has a long ways to go.... is a very sick little boy, but we praise the Lord that we met the doctor's goal of keeping him out of the hospital.
Please continue to pray for Seth and for the rest of us... we feel trapped by this flu... Seth is still contagious. (until we can get his fever gone for 24 hours without the use of medicine).
Oh, and pray that Cala will just by-pass getting it full blown and that Ethan will stay healthy. Strangely enough, not even a sniffle has he dealt with!!!

Romans 5:1-4 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope.
Know that I'm here praying!
Romans 5:6-9 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

I Peter 2:9-10 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Praying right now!
Psalm 116:1-4 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
