But now he is incredibly sick. He has the croup. It started when we came home from the doctor Thursday. He woke up with a fever, which is normal after shots, but it continued to get higher (103)as the night went on and he developed a barking cough. THe worse part is because his upper respiratory gets so inflamed he has a very difficult time breathing. Austen had the same thing though not so young and it is very scary when you know your child is not breathing well. It was bad enough that the triage nurse had us call 911 last night after listening to him breatheonver the phone. He had calmed down considerably by the time the rescue people arrived and we were able to treat him at home. Now his doctor has him on steroids to help control the inflammation so hopefully he can breath better.
Please pray that he will have a good night since the 2nd and 3rd nights are the worst and that the virus will leave his body quickly.
As soon as we got Luke calmed down today and taking a nap, Jeremy cut his finger open fixing Austen lunch and had to go to Urgent Care and get it super-glued back together. He is doing well now, he just can't put any pressure on it for awhile.
When it rains it pours:)
Praise God that HE is on His throne and in complete control!
He still takes care of us:)

Luke's Checkup
Luke had his 4 month checkup today. His doctor says he's doing great. Healthy and handsome:) HE weighs 16lb 3oz (80%), and he is 27 1/2 inches long. His height was greater than 97%, which means he's off the charts. HE gets it from both sides of the family.
The doctor couldn't tell me a whole lot about his ears, it's not her specialty, however she did say that his ear canals were bigger than they were before adn he seemed to be responding a lot better than the last time she saw him. He'll go back to his ENT in November.
Priase God for a good checkup. HE is good and he continues to take care of our family!
