A sick girl and a worn out momma

Please pray for Eliana....and for Lindsey.
Lindsey and Eliana went to Dallas this weekend for Lauren's baby shower (which was a blast I've been told). They were supposed to fly home tonight but Eliana is too sick to fly. We pushed their flight back to tomorrow, but tonight the doctor said there's no way she could fly tomorrow either. So the plan now is for them to fly home on Wednesday.

The doctor believes it's pneumonia again (which she had over Christmas) plus a bacterial infection. She's been throwing up through out the day all day long. She's had an antibiotic shot and is sleeping right now. The doctor in Dallas wants to see her again tomorrow to check on her progress. (If she starts throwing up again they're supposed to go to an E.R.) Her little body is just really worn out.

Pray that she's able to keep fluids down and that the antibiotics work. Pray for REST for my girls.

I can't tell you how PROUD I am of my wife! Linds is such a warrior for our little girl. She knows what it is to fight for Eliana and once again she's been such a hero! In a tiny way I feel some of what I felt back when they were in Guatemala and Eliana was sick. Acutely aware of how powerless I am to change situations and at the same time of how dependent we always are upon God's sweet mercy. (I know God's in control and that He is good, and at the same time I hate that this craziness always seems to happen when I'm far from them.)

Thanks to all of you in our blogging community for always being out there for us!
Thank you for your prayers...

Grace and Peace
Chris

P.S. Thank you so much Lauren and Corby for taking good care of my girls!
