frowny faced


Poor Eliot! Why does he get the sickest when we get colds? He was in pretty bad shape by the time we found a doctor. Thank goodness we were able to get an appointment for the next day. The good new is - we brought our breathing machine and the breathing machine has helped a lot. The bad news is Eliot is too sick to be able to take inhaled steroids and we have to give him oral Prednisone which does the same thing to a child that it does to an athlete who abuses steroids. It might take a day or so to kick in but Eliot gets very aggressive and I don't know how to deal with it. Please pray that he will get better soon, that I will discipline him in an understanding way and deal with him in love until he gets better. Sigh ... I guess that means we won't be going to Washington DC this weekend as we had planned. Oh well, some other time ...

  1. Oh, poor Eliot!
    Poor you!

    I thought I had discipline challenges today. I will pray for you in your sweet request for discipline with understanding.

    I think that's what it's all about, in general, isn't it? How often
    I forget. Will you pray for me too?

    Thanks!
