Flu, Flu, Go Away!

My dearest Brooklynn has been struck by the terrible flu.  In the first full month of school she has missed 6 days already!  We are on day 7 of the virus and the doctor said to expect 10-14 days....we have cabin fever!  She has been a trooper through it all but it breaks my heart to see her sick and miss out on school, soccer games (not to mention her big picnic for soccer tomorrow), Awana on Wednesday nights, Sunday School, and of course playing with the neighborhood friends (her best friend moves tomorrow so they couldn't play together all week - especially during the beautiful weather)!  Yet times like these remind us of all we have to be thankful for and not to take it for granted!  Our praise has been that Heath and I both have not gotten it (my OB put me on some preventative meds) and our prayer is that Brooklynn recovers back to health and that all the germ bugs are out of our house before baby boy arrives in less than 3 weeks or sooner!  I think God is teaching me that there are some things that you just can't control but have to leave in his hands!
