Sick House


So we have some NASTY bug in our house. Probably one of the "perks"of Dougie working in a hospital. Last night Garrett woke up with a 104.3 temp! I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want to take him to the ER cause I wasn't sure if I needed to and we really can't afford it right now. So Dougie thought to give him a blessing. He called over a friend and gave little Garrett a blessing to feel better. And the next morning his fever was totally gone and he is running around playing again. It is SO great to have the priesthood in our house. I am so grateful that we had somewhere to turn in the middle of the night. BUT..... now London of course is running a 103.5 fever and I am sure it will get higher. Garrett's started out yesterday morning at about 103 and went up later that night. So I am keeping an eye of her. It is always scary the smaller they are. Especially when they don't know quite how to tell you what is wrong. So I guess this bug is just taking turns with the family. Hopefully Dougie can stay healthy this time. He just got over a HORRIBLE episode of stomach problems and had to go get on an IV. I really hope he dodges this one. Especially because he just started his new job today. He is starting out part time with the new job and staying part time at his old one. I am really hoping the new job hires him full time (prayers please!) It pays 10 dollars more an hour, so it would really be a blessing for us. Anyway, nothing too exciting other than sick kids and a new job. Just thought I would post what was on my mind today.
