my kids are down one after another with a strong viral infection that is affecting their voice box (husky voice), causing them to have frequent surges of high fever (39 and above) and for ariel's case, a fits coming upon her due to the high fever. We have been sponging them day and night, bringing them to see docs, pacifying them at times for their discomfort and sometimes holding them down so that they will take in the medication. This has gone on for about 3 weeks now and they are still fluctuating between being sick and well again. Christian is having his second round of infection from his sisters though he recovered miraculously fast without any medication the first time. Life has been mentally draining and physically tiring for my wife and I. We have to go to work as usual and make sure that there is minimum disruption to others. The kids are down and so are the adults

BUT WE ARE NOT OUT!

we are still able to find peace, strength and encouragement in the Lord Jesus. Yes, there are times of weariness and frustration but when they come, He is there to stand with us and strengthen us. He is so real and living! He is our life!

I still give thanks to Him for whatever that has came upon us and I continue to trust Him for the days ahead!

But we have this treasure (Christ) in earthen vessels (us), that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed... Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
2 Cor. 4:7,8,9,16

Hang tough. I have been down with the same virus myself. I am lucky that it is just me and not my kids. They have already gotten it.
