Dave sent an email an hour or so ago saying that his daughter Hadlea was in the emergency room with strep throat. He requested our prayers in their hour of need. Anyone with young children will know their concern. They will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers until we hear from Dave. Please take a moment to pray for her.
:pray: For a speedy recovery!
Sent from NY....pass along our best if you hear from him
Children and aged parents can make us "sandwhich" people feel so helpless...and we are. Only God can be leaned on with certainty.
Prayers for healing and nothing worse for li'l Hadlea. Strength for the parents and a Happy Easter for them with her on the mend.

Thank you all for the prayers.
My Daughter Hadlea is 6 years old. She has a severe case of strep throat. She developed white blisters on the inside of her mouth and tounge today. My wife had taken her in to see her personal Doctor today, and her Doctor told her to take Hadlea to the E R.
They drew some blood for some blood work, and hooked her up with an IV to get her hydrated. they are also giving her medicine through the IV to relieve the pain in her throat, and mouth, and for the swelling around her lips.
Hadlea is not able to eat because of the pain, she can barely take a few sips of liquids at a time, she is barely able at times to talk because of the pain.
My wife is at the Hospital with her, I came home to get some items for them.
My Daugther is in a lot of pain, but she has remained tough for what she is going through.
I just ask for your prayers, that she will come out of this quick.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Dave, I have been thinking and praying for you and Hadlea several times during the day. Hope to hear soon that she is doing better.
Hi Guys, First off, I thank you for your Prayers.
I spent the morning, and until around 1:00 o'clock with Hadlea, when I had to come home, and get some more supplies for my wife , and for Hadlea, and pick Jacob up from school.
I am happy to say her blood work came back fantastic.
She does have strep throat, but along with the strep, she has developed a viral yeast infection that has settled in. The Doc's are believing that the white blisters are from the unification of the two.
They have her on IV's with medication to help keep her hydrated, and also giving pain medication through a seperate tube in the same IV.
She has been able to drink a can of sprite throughout the day, I say a can, maybe 3/4 of a can, on her own, which is not much.
My Wife is still with her at the hospital, the Doc's are saying that there is a chance she might be able to come home tomorrow, (Sat.) but they are looking at a bigger, more definate possibility on Sun.
You don't ever realize the pain, and the heartache that is associated with a loved one until it is yours, and especially your children.
I thank you all for your prayers.
I will definatly be here to celebrate her homecoming with you when she is home.
Thank you again, your thoughts, and prayers are welcomed.

Thanks for the update Dave. I agree with what you are saying. It's really difficult to see a kid suffer, even more so when that kid is your own. Will continue to pray for her.
Prayers continue for your daughter's recovery. May Easter have a double blessing with the Resurrection and Hadlea's (?) return home happy, michevious and well!!!
Thanks for the PM David. I was touched by your words and thoughtfulness.
That li'l stinker will be up making all sorts of mischief soon enough...and what a welcome time that will be! Prayers continue.
Prayers of thanks...Mark Chambers Dave remember hang in there...God bless
Prayers on the way from Georgia.

Kids, Family...Two words that have brought on a new, special meaning to me over the last few days, not that it wasn't before, but now more than it was.
When kids are good, and healthy, you never think about sickness. You never think about our / your kids being in the hospital, because that is the farthest thing from our mind. We want our Children to grow up happy, stong, and healthy.
I for one am going to take a step back, slow things down a bit, and enjoy what I have been given...That being my kids. I will never get, or be given these times back again.
I am happy to report that my wife, and I were given the go ahead to bring our Daughter home this evening.
I want to thank you all for your prayers, for your concerns, and for your faith in God.
Hadlea is not back to 100% yet, it is going to take some time before she is. She is still scared, that it might come back, or happen again, and I believe that is totally acceptable.
But second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day she is healing, and geting better.
Brothers, I do not know how to tell you thank you enough for your prayers.
All I can say, is THANK YOU.
Please keep them coming, as she still has a ways to go, healing wise, and not being afraid of it coming back, or being scared of eating, or drinking because it hurts. At least she was able to come home to her normal soroundings, and I believe that will help with her healing process.
I Thank you again.

"Thank You" about covers it...that and making sure that li'l Tyke knows Jesus... which I can tell from your heart is absolute.
