IT's Kickin' Tail and Takin' Names

* Update #2 5:00 p.m. *
Another One Bites The Dust...
*Update* We made it through the night with no more casualties. Thank you Jesus! Keep praying!

Oh friends, it's not good. Not good at all. We have been stricken. Afflicted. A very contagious virus has been going around the hospital rehab facility where my dad is a patient. It's so bad at this point that the hospital won't admit any more patients. See this fellow... He got IT.

IT = a very unhappy little virus that makes one very unhappy. There is a general sense of unhappiness when one is in contact with this unhappy little virus.

Because his family loves him so much, he had lots and lots of visitors (before we knew about IT). Thus far, IT has captured my Mom...


And BOTH my brothers. Here they are in happier times.But, smack me a somerset if it didn't get this little guy. My sweet little Pumpkinhead. He has been hit the hardest. He was up ALL NIGHT LONG last night. He seriously didn't get any rest because he was so sick. He's finally feeling some better tonight. We are all exhausted and waiting on pins and needles to see who will be IT's next victim. Please pray that Parker and the rest of my family will be completely healed soon and that the rest of us will be spared.

Hey thanks for stopping by over at our family blog. It's nice to meet you. :)

So very sorry your family has been so very sick. How horrible! I hope things take a turn this weekend, and your son and the rest of the family feel better soon.

By the way beautiful family!!

IT's got a lot of nerve, especially taking hold of that cutie pie Pumpkinhead! But you know what? IT happens. (Sorry, couldn't resist!) We'll be praying that IT will get outta Dodge and that the rest of you will continue to avoid IT.
