thanks for praying

bekah had her procedure done and everything went well. she'll be back next week on Tuesday to have another one that involves the doctor putting radioactive dye in the cyst trying to collapse the walls around it to prevent it from filling up again. hopefully that will be successful. keep praying.

max just had a rough week. i was at work and erin, my sister in law was here at the house. i got a message that he threw up on my sidekick(please note: he did NOT throw ON my sidekick but the message appeared there). max pukes sometimes. he has a sensitive gag reflex. so i kinda blew it off. well, then about an hour later. i got like 15 messages all at once from erin and chris frantic because he threw up three more times. we sometimes have a horrible delay on our pagers....they think i'm being nonchalant but really i thought he threw up once.
so it was terrible. talk about mother of the year award...

when i got home he was as limp as a rag doll and white as a sheet. we went straight to the doctor's office. he immediately pepped up. i thought "oh no we have carbon monoxide in the house". i was so scared. (paranoia will destroy ya) the doctor quickly reassured us that it wasn't carbon monoxide or we would have serious headaches too. he thought max might have rotovirus. i couldn't believe that he was sitting up perky and talking to me in front of the doctor when he had been so limp and lifeless. then the doctor examined him and he threw up all over both of us. confirming he was sick. we gave him an ounce of water every 15 minutes and he really perked up. by 9 pm he was eating pears and crackers and talking a mile a minute like usual. chris stayed home yesterday and today so max can have a full recovery. what a week!!

ps...doesn't have rotovirus...no diarrhea. thank you GOD! puke i can handle poop up their back and down their legs....yikes....
