Kason was admitted to the hospital on Sunday with trouble breathing. His respiratory rate was 86 he was retracting and wheezing. We came home Tuesday. I love being home. So many people talk about writing being therapeutic, but it isn’t for me, it just feeds the frustration I’ve been praying to suppress. At any rate…not much was really done and I told them I was tired of going to the hospital. I’m tired of being sent to the hospital if they’re not going to do anything about it. So anyway, they’re treating him for some sort of unidentified lung disease. They gave a million and one reasons why he may be having trouble breathing, but it all boils down to he is a very happy baby who is happy to breath fast and hard so it’s okay. I’m unhappy to report that he is uncharacteristically unhappy, maybe from the meds, but I really don’t know. They gave him large doses of steroids which did help to open his airway and his breathing was in the 30’s most of the time we’re at the hospital. We’ll continue oral steroids until tomorrow, and inhaled steroids and heart meds indefinitely. I talked to a friend today that is going through seriously unimaginable health and financial trials, for weeks I have been praying for God to have pity on their family. Today she encouraged me to trust God and have great faith, not to trust in man. I need to pray for so much faith; I keep thinking when Jesus returns will he find faith left on the earth?

In other news...I used to read about "mothers helpers" in homeschool magazines. Where do those angels come from and where do they live? I never ever thought I would be lucky enough to find one, but God has blessed me this summer with my 11 year old niece and my friends two daughters. To say that I am elated, would be an understatement!

Its actually 2am. I'm almost never up at 2am, but my baby isn't acting like himself. I just got done researching about steroids. Side Effect: Insomnia and mania...That about sums it up. Tomorrow is the last day of this med, but I'll sure call in the morning to see if I can stop it immediately. Yeah the Doctor called me this morning to see how things were going and he said I could stop. Yeah!

Unrelated, but so cute.


I love my Kaden. He has such a neat personality. He is a naturally content child. He likes to work hard and play hard. He is genuinely sweet and is all about what is fair, in fact I don't think I've ever met a child so in tune with justice.
