What a week!

As most of you know, we've had the throw ups at our house this week. Poor Luke threw up 10 times on Tuesday, the 2nd was after Austin got home from taking the DAT. (Thanks everyone for your fasting and prayers.) We had also just had the play group at our house, so probably all of those families will get it as well. Poor Luke threw up everything including pedialite. We were pretty worried when he started throwing up stomach acid (too graphic?). We ended up doing 10 loads of laundry just because of Luke's episodes on us and everything else. By the end of the day he was only wearing a diaper - he was almost out of clothes.
Anyway, we're grateful for everyone's advice and prayers. On Wednesday Luke was better but we had to take things easy like only give him small pieces of bread. He screamed from starvation and dehydration but we were doing it for his own good...right? Wednesday night I started to feel ill and threw up a few times in the night as well as some other uncomfortable things that are better left unsaid. Austin tried to take care of Luke and me AND finish his dental school application. I felt so bad for him. Every time he got on a roll with his essay, Luke would start crying or need to be fed or whatever. I was still pretty sick and weak so it was just a nightmare. He did manage to get it done just in time for him to get sick! Austin threw up on Thursday night but is on the mend.
I have attached some pictures that, although not from this weekend, will give you a good idea of what we looked like this week.
The good news is we did get the draft of the essay to everyone and got great feedback from everyone! We know it was short notice and really appreciate the time people put into it. Please keep praying for us to get into dental school. We'll be praying for Matt's boards.
I guess that's most of our week. We love you all.
