.....we are supposed to go to Willa's house for a week on Saint Patrick's day!   

Anne got really sick on Thursday.....If she was not slightly better today, I would have worried about pneumonia.

......and I awakened to Maddelyn's moans with HER high fever......and Malachy was shivering....I became suspect......sure enough, he got the fever.... ...though he will not admit it........too

Then Matthew finally got out of bed......looking bad, but no fever.......but, now he has it, of course

....and finally, Sarah, who was not sick at all when she got up, but who cared for Maddelyn all night (wasn't that sweet )......said: my neck is so hot....of course, 'cuz she has a fever

only one left to go........Garrett, who looks beat up from his final run on the slopes yesterday....egg on forehead and cut under the eye with swelling (it was not too bad, Willa.......lots of blood, little cut)

So, if you have made it through my musings thus far......please pray that we get thru this quickly so we can go see Aidan .......and, very importantly: that the mom does not get sick....I have two childbirth classes to teach and more this week. Could be tough with a 5yo breathing and hanging all over me (so sweet )

blessings and prayers to all of you,

in sunny and warm! northern CA,

Thank you for prayers! Please continue! I have a feeling it is going to be a long night

While I was having a wonderful and meaningful chat with Molly tonight, Garrett finally got a fever.......and, I am grateful for that.......would not want any stragglers

Poor Malachy is having leg pain, too.    I am so glad Molly reconzied Malachy's need for pulsatilla .........it seems to be the perfect fit for the little fella tonight!

My poor husband.......he came home about 11:30pm...........and I suggested he go back to work so he could get a good night's sleep..........I just know Malachy plus whoever else will keep interrupting his sleep....not good for the dad trying to do his job in the day

You know, we realized we have never, until today, ever had ALL six kids ill at one time.

Thanks Stef for your continued prayers for Anne......we really appreciate it!

goodnight, ladies, goodnight!

update: While they are all still sick, they do not seem as miserable today, deo gratias. The night was doable, thanks to your prayers no doubt.....

And, so far, I do not feel ill at all

Thanks you for the prayers. I so appreciate them. I hope to spend a good chunk of my day working on our cross-country trip plans, since no one seems up for schooly-type stuff.........though I may throw a couple of videos at them, maybe the White House videos?

I am offering all of your day up for all of your intentions.

Blessings to you,
