Wyatt and Gwen are at it again...

Our children are wonderful, amazing and usually sick with a really bad cold. We are now finding out the allergies probably are playing a very big role in that last part. Today's adventure landed Wyatt in the hospital for fluids. The fun started Sunday night with Wyatt and Gwen coughing like crazy. Both were coughing so bad that they would spit up. The difference between them...Gwen was keeping most food down and kept eating. Wyatt hasn't ate and kept it down since Sunday evening. He went in to see the nurse practitioner yesterday, got a shot, and was sent home. Last night Carolyn kept them so I could catch some sleep and things just got worse. To the doctor they both went this morning, Gwen was mostly concerned about missing show-and-tell at preschool, and at the hospital I met them. Gwen had an IV placed and meds given to help them get into her system. Only 1 tear was shed! Wyatt had an IV put in and has been receiving fluids and meds all day. Gwen wasn't actually admitted to she and Gram have since gone home, but Wyatt gets to stay until rounds and maybe for the night. He is acting so much better, actually taking naps here and there, and keeping some pedialyte and applesauce down. Keep them in your prays please and hopefully we will be home in a few hours.
