10:00 on a Friday night...

It's 10:20 right now and Ron and Luke are at the E.R.  But Ron says they'll be finishing up within the hour and heading home.  I just got a text from him that Luke has the virus Croup.  (I originally posted that he had Pertussis, but that was an error.)  Praise the Lord he'll be home soon! Luke started having a crackly cough 2 days ago.  Tonight, all of a sudden, it got so bad he was having a hard time breathing.  We had some friends over for dinner and they offered to watch Sam so we could go to the hospital.  Before getting out of the neighborhood, Ron encouraged me to stay home while he took Luke.  Being 8 months pregnant and an emotional wreck, he didn't think a trip to the E.R. would be good for me.  He's right...  So Luke got some steroids and will be coming home soon.  I can't wait to have him in my arms again.  Ron sent me this picture from his phone; Luke doesn't seem bothered by this at all.  Those of you who prayed for him, thank you!  From the bottom of my heart I love you and appreciate your prayers...

Poor precious baby! I've been through that before with Noah. It's so scary when your child can't breathe. Glad he is better. All our love!
