Douglas a good heart even when sick

Hey friends!
I seem to be continually apologizing for my lack of posts. I have A LOT to share but as most of you know that have children....blogging (or anything else) has to wait when your children are sick!!! Douglas has been sick! His seasonal asthma is in full force. I took him to the doctor last week but he went back to school & was around other sick children (there were 15 out sick last Tuesday when he was out). The problem is most of those parents sent their children back to school even though they were supposed to stay home! ANYWAY....Douglas got worse. He was in a healing service Sunday at church & he was so sweet Sunday night before he went to bed. Momma, Jesus healed me, I haven't coughed as much today as yesterday! He was right but the cough was still deep & sounded worse than when I originally took him that I had to take him back Monday. His doctor increased the number of times he takes his inhaler & gave him more medicine. He has really been pitiful! (He's on 2 inhalers, allergy med, antibiotic, & steroid.) He has wanted to be held & upset that he can't practice ball! It has been hard to find a happy medium for him. He's out on Spring Break & can't get outside & enjoy the weather, his medicine makes him mean one minute, crying the next & then he's sleepy & has to have a nap. Its a bad cycle! He has been very sweet too! He has been so loving at times & apologizing for being sick!! It has been a roller coaster of emotions! We have been through so much over the past week!! (Those details to follow in a different post!) Please pray that Douglas will be better soon!!! He really wants to practice ball & play outside in the sunshine. Thanks for the prayers & I'll post more details later today about the events of last week. Love to y'all! Joannie
