All is well

Thank the Lord our little boy has been without fever for 24 hrs!!! His fever broke on Thursday evening and still did not have a fever on Friday morning. We were on the road going from Missouri to Minnesota and at a rest stop we felt Andrew and he was hot. His fever came back at 104. We were in the middle of nowhere so we just stripped him and "bathed" him with Mike's clean socks soaked in cold water. By evening it was under control but still had a little fever so we kept him on Tylenol and Motrin through the night in into Saturday. Since Saturday he has been great! He is himself, eating well, drinking well, and playing well.

Even in such a bad situation so much good came from it. We gained wisdom and understanding about fevers and seizes, Andrew learned that he loves to snuggle and I have been loving the extra hugs and loves he has been giving us. Also, so many people were praying for our situation. We received so many phone calls and emails and had so much support, it was amazing to see how many people care for our family. I (Angela) also discovered a new understanding of how God loves me. As I was in the ambulance with Andrew I was thinking about how much I loved and cared for Andrew... how much more does our Lord and Savior love and care for us. It is too much for me to even comprehend but it overwhelmed me and I am so thankful for God's love and to be His child.

We are in Minnesota right now and everything looks great. We are in an awesome dorm and the campus is beautiful. I will get some more pics downloaded this week, we have Internet in our room!!!

I just read your blog, I'm so glad things are better! Scary, but God took care of everything. Great! Hope you are having a fun camp experience otherwise!
