Micah is so sick

Thursday Feb. 24th Micah started to get a runny nose. Well, Micah you always seem to be sick so Mommy didn't think anything of it. Then the next day (Friday) you woke up with an even more runny nose, a deep cough, watery eyes, fever, and diarrhea. I was holding you next to your crib and Daddy was holding Savannah on the rocking chair. As I was standing you up I said to Leif, "I would much rather be sick than have Micah be sick." As I finished these words "BLAW" you threw up all over me. And from that point on you were in my arms for the rest of the day. You couldn't keep anything down and you didn't sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time. The only thing that would keep you calm is being rocked by Mommy.

Friday night Mommy and Daddy brought up the pack-and-play and we made Savannah sleep in it. This was the first time that the two of you haven't slept together. Savannah was so patience with her brother. She understood that he needed Mommy's attention and she did a great job of playing by herself most of the day.

Saturday Micah only got worse. You were coughing most the day, breathing really fast, congested in both nostrils, and wining when you weren't coughing. By now Daddy and Mommy were getting really worried that Micah had RSV and would have to go to the hospital. (2 of our friends babies went to the hospital with RSV).

By Sunday morning, you hadn't gotten worse but you hadn't gotten any better either. Daddy gave you a priesthood blessing before church and blessed your little immune system to fight off the infection. During church you took 2 naps and started drinking more. By the end of the day you were smiling and sitting up on your own.

Monday morning you were 100 times better and your cough was almost gone. Micah, the Lord is mindful of you. He knows who you are and loves you. He answered your parents prayers on your behalf. He knows how strong you are and won't give you trials that you can't handle. You Mother and Father have faith in the priesthood. And we know that your priesthood blessing helped you little body heal.
