Delegated this one...to Josh. (who would take the picture if I didn't delegate?) And he did accomplish this one! Yah Annelise!

Updates: Aaron got to go home after 3 days in the hospital. He was really happy about it! So was I, since it was getting so difficult to take care of the other kids while needing to be there with Aaron. Thanks to all that helped us, (prayers & all) we have the best family and friends.



no more sad faces from aaron

SiCk DaYs?

Our sweet little Aaron has been so sick since Sunday. He has had severe vomitting (almost every hour for 3 days) and diarrhea, which gave him severe dehydration and vomitting blood; which landed him in the hospital.

Before the IV...he was the most lethargic I have ever seen himThen, come to find out he has a severe rotoviral infection so he had to stay longer than anticipated. It has been just yucky. Annelise went up in him room last night and cried because she missed him, and I must say the traveling and arranging of kids while he has lived at the hospital has been hard. I cannot imagine what some families have to go throught with the extended stays. We know that Aaron will eventually get better, but for now, he is still on IV and maybe will be able to come home soon. We sure love him, and I gotta say it is so hard to see your child suffer like this. He is such a patient boy, and the nurses are amazed with his pain tolerance. I am too...love that boy. Get better Aaron.
