Bringing Henry Home: I. Hate. Croup.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

I. Hate. Croup.

Henry is down with another case of croup....I am typing one-handed while keeping him carefully balanced in an optimum vertical position for maximum oxygen saturation....

the good news is we probably will avoid a stay in the hospital this time (unlike last October)...

the bad news is he NEEDS to get well before his cleft palate repair, which we have been waiting months for and is scheduled for Feb. 17!

A few prayers would be appreciated.

Coffee would be too...I think I slept a total of 83 minutes last night.

Praying for his complete healing and that surgery can go as scheduled and that you all get some much needed rest.

Praying!
Also, it was great to meet you and Henry (and the rest of the family) the other day!

Coffee is like water for me! I cannot live without it!

Hi Carla!
Our family has been praying for your family and little Henry. May God send his healing grace down to you all, and may Henry get well soon! God bless, and I hope you get that caffeine soon! :)
