FUN IN THE SNOW

We have just enough hill behind our apartment bldg to be able to sled. The kids took turns riding down the hill. Here is Abigail riding down the hill. It was a lot of fun.

Noah's first snow. Timothy's first snow was when he was about a week old.

Timothy was a bit overwhelmed with the snow. He did play in it and had fun. No, he doesn't have a black eye. He had blueberry poptart for breakfast and he rubbed some on his face. They all wanted to get outside to play I forgot to clean his face.

Here Jonathan is taking his turn. It is a lot of fun.

More breathing issues

We were so hoping that Noah would not have the same issues as the others, but as you can tell he is following in the other's footsteps. Our children have sensitive airways, especially the boys. Noah started off with a cough which ended up with wheezing when he breathes. This usually means the airways are tightening or becoming smaller. Most of the time it requires a steroid/breathing treatment. We thought he might have RSV which is very contagious, but thank God he did not. We did have to keep a close watch on his breathing. God was great and took care of him. He is much better now.

After coming home from the hospital, I was not suppose to pick up anything heavier than the baby. One morning Timothy woke up with an awful cough. It was the croupy cough. He was struggling with his breathing as well. I gave him a breathing treatment to help open up the airways. Well unfortunately it takes some time for the medicine to work. Timothy was really struggling with his breathing. I was really close to taking him to the ER. I picked him up and stood in front of the freezer to get him to breathe in the cool air. I was not suppose to pick him up. He weighs close to 30 lbs. God was gracious. I was able to pick him up and stand for a good 20 minutes or so. I didn't feel anything pull from the C-section. Thankfully shortly after doing all that he started breathing better. I write this to show the goodness of God. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
