Sick Boy

I found out yesterday that Matthew has pneumonia. I feel so bad about it. He's had a fever off and on since Tuesday, but it never seemed significant enough to take him in. Until Saturday. He developed a cough that sounds really bad, and his fever spiked to 102. I was on a retreat, and didn't know how bad he was until I got home Sat. night. I took him in on Sunday, and this is the result.
The little jewels of my day were the pediatrician's office that was open on Sunday, and the 24 hour pharmacy. I was able to get him a prescription that appears to have fixed him right up. His fever is gone, along with his congestion. His cough is still pretty bad, but is much better than yesterday. He should even be able to go to school tomorrow!
Thank you, Lord, for my precious boy, and for the wonderful people who helped me take care of him.
