Teething is Not Fun

from the mom

Kyri is still sick. She had a particularly hard weekend. We were pretty sure it was just those 5 teeth coming in (2 are in; 3 still coming) causing havoc with ears and sinuses. But she has a nasty cough too. She hasn't been able to rest and she wanted us to share in her misery. Last night I literally prayed that she would be so tired she wouldn't be able to help but sleep. And He granted this request. She was up once and then slept until 10:30am.

Ben and I went to church yesterday. I actually heard the entire sermon and didn't have to go out once! I hate to say that the thought crossed my mind that we should get at least one Kyri-free church service every month.

Yesterday afternoon, Kyri was crying in her bed instead of napping. M and I had been taking turns calming her and we both looked at each other wearily. Just then Ben started up the stairs and said, "I'm going to go help Kyri." And he went up to comfort her. And we were thankful for the help.

I am sorry about all the trials and troubles your family is having lately.

Ben sounds like he is growing up so fast and is becoming quite the big brother. And what a servant's heart!

That last comment was from me, not Naomi. Sorry I forgot to change the log-in status.

I'm sorry it's been such a rough month... several months. You (all) continue to be in my prayers. I am so proud of Ben. He's such a good big brother. Please give them both a hug from me. :)

Poor baby (and poor tired family).
Thinking of you and praying for you.
