Good News About William

My daughter reports that William is much better. The swelling has gone down, he's itching much less, and he slept like a rock. Thanks be to God, and thanks to all you beautiful people who sent prayers and good wishes his way and my way. We are most grateful. I am greatly relieved and breathing easier today.

  1. poor kid --I am so glad he is feeling better. He will continue in my thoughts and prayers until we get the all clear!

    when I was about 7, I fell on a hornet's nest, about 70-80 bites I am told...I don't remember much about it except the crying.... hopefully, neither will William!

  4. Thanks, Margaret. Hornets? Yikes!

    Double posts happen. Better that than having a long comment disappear into the bowels of Blogger.

  11. So glad to hear he's on the mend. There's nothing like prayer- don't I know it! We had a good day today and James reminded me of all the prayer on our behalf. God is good- and so are all of you- it does make a difference I think. For me I know it has.

  22. Oh, if he was taking benedril or some other such med, it's no wonder he slept all night. That stuff puts me out like a light!

  23. Ah...

    Lovely.

  24. Susan, with my daughter and her sons, Benedril has the opposite effect of making them hyper. The antihistamine is effective, but it doesn't put them to sleep. It puts me right to sleep.

    Göran, thanks for caring.
