Thanks for your prayers for Cherish

I want to thank everyone who has had Cherish in your prayers! A NASTY flu bug hit us last Wednesday and is still hanging on! It has been a severe stomach flu and Cherish ran a fever of over 102 for about 36 hours and it would not go down with any medications or cold baths. Bro. & Sis. Rick Keyes and my hubby and I prayed for her with oil and within about 45 minutes it was gone and has not come back! All praise to God! She still has had no solids since last Tuesday. She continued to drink fluids in small amounts until today, all of the sudden today, she absolutely refused any liquid, she would say, "No, not aver, aver, aver." (ever) Her doctor told us by phone this evening (Sunday, which we all know that it means that we were not at church!) to take her to the Children's Hospital Emergency. We did that, a long story short, they started IV's right away and did blood work. It is a severe 7 day virus and obviously left her dehydrated. After the fluids through IV, she perked up, called the nurses "My Fwiends" and they called her "Princess" which she has been nick-named. She is "Mommy's Princess" and "Daddy's Boogaboo!" She slept all the way home and went straight to bed. That is why I'm free now!! We are so thankful for the diagnosis! As exhausted parents, you fear the worst in something like this with the time period being so lengthy! We want to thank those of you who knew and were praying, and "Thank you, Jesus!" We are believing that tomorrow will be the road to strength and FOOD (and rest for mom & dad!)
