It's been a busy week!

It has been a very busy week for us at home. We have been interviewing nurses this week. We have met a few really great ones with a high level of expertise. This is one of the most important qualities to us, along with being able to mesh well with our family.

Getting ready for a Halloween Craft

Kaitlyn is doing really well. It seems that she doesn't have the virus at all anymore, however, her platelet count hasn't gone up from last week. This means that if she were to get sick again, her count would probably drop further and she would need a blood transfusion. We are praying that her counts start to go up and that we can stay away from any other bugs out there. She also got her flu shot this week.

I beg everyone out there to get a flu shot, even if you are one of those lucky people who don't ever get sick or you don't believe in getting flu shots. Please do it for all those little ones, like Kaitlyn, and protect them from life-threatening situations. I got mine a CVS and didn't even have to wait! So many of you want to know how you can help. This is a way you can help! Go get a flu shot- today or this weekend.

Kaitlyn's seizure-like episodes have been less this week and we have seen some more smiles! :-) I can't even describe the feeling I get inside when she gives us a big grin. It's the best feeling in the world. We are really looking forward to having a great weekend together with our family. Kaitlyn's Granddaddy (my dad) and GrandDot (my step-mother, her name is Dot) are coming down today to spend some time with us. We are so excited to see them!

Kaitlyn's cousin Makayla and Chip!

In previous posts, I have mentioned our amazing niece, Makayla. Apparently everyone at school also recognizes her awesomeness and has crowned her as the homecoming princess for the sophomore class! She asked Chip to escort her on the football field tonight when they announce the princesses during the homecoming ceremony! Chip is so excited. I will be at home with the little ones but I'll post a picture of them this weekend. :-)

Wylder

Also, please, please pray for our dear friend Wylder. He also has NPA and is currently in the hospital battling sepsis (a blood infection). He is on some serious antibiotics and he could use some prayers that his blood cultures come back negative today. Here is his blog for the latest.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later.
