Joshua has been sick with croup once again. He developed a fever and that horrible, scary cough that goes along with this sickness. I was able to get him in to see the doctor on Thursday. He has been on breathing treatments and steriod medicine to help keep his airway passages open. Friday afternoon I called the doctor's office concerned about him not getting a whole lot better, knowing it was the weekend, and they would be closed. Of course, it was too late for them to squeeze him in their schedule. He did not have a fever throughout the weekend, but seemed less active than normal, and very tired. This morning Joshua woke up around 6:00 a.m. and felt very hot. I took his temperature a few times, and couldn't get a definite reading; it was anywhere from 101 to 104 degrees! I quickly gave him Ibruprofen and his temperature is down at this point. I called the doctor and was able to get him in this morning. "Doctor Momma" :o) thinks he has developed an infection, and should have had an antibiotic from the beginning. I don't enjoy lingering illnesses at all. It makes me very nervous and frustrated! Please pray for Joshua when you think of him. He needs a special touch from the Lord today!
On an additional note, our very good friend, Sis. Erma Woodworth passed away Saturday night. As you know from a previous post, she and her husband were involved in a very serious car accident, and he was killed instantly. She has been recovering in a Minnesota hospital since the accident in June, and was improving. Saturday evening after her supper, she was found without a pulse, and could not be revived. This was completely unexpected, but we know she is now enjoying the wonderful presence of Jesus and the grand reunion with her husband, Dr. Ralph Woodworth. We will certainly miss her and the beautiful smile she always offered to everyone!
