As you all know we are in Newport, OR camping. We have been having an absolutely wonderful time, the weather has been great and we were all healthy until 2 days ago when Zeke came down with a croupy cough. I began to pray and try not to panic, knowing that the last two times Zeke has had croup, Luke has gotten very very sick. Well last night it hit him, he is very sick. Not only him but last night Natalie threw up, though she is doing better today and Lily was running a low grade fever last night, once again she is doing okay today.

Luke began to get real congested last evening and I had a feeling that he was getting sick, sure enough when I hooked him up to his oximeter his oxygen numbers were not doing too well and his heart rate was high. We've seen this enough times to know that he was probably running a fever and sure enough he did have a fever. Needless to say I was up until 4 a.m. when Gordy took over until 8 a.m. and then I took over again. He is still not doing well and he needs prayer. We are praying that we will not have to cut our vacation short.

Bottom line is we need PRAYER and lots of it. Please pray that Luke will get better quickly as we've seen this happen so often and also that the rest of the family will stay healthy. Thank you for your prayers, I know that you are faithful in holding up Luke and our family in your prayers. We will let you know how things are going.

Love in Christ,
Luke's Mommy Sue
