Corey and the Balloon Hand

Hello all. We have been enjoying my parents visiting. We spent a day at Busch Gardens and had a great time. Corey's chicken pox has been gradually getting better, and John David came down with them too, but a very mild case. Last night though, one of Corey's hands swelled quite a bit. It literally looked like a balloon! It was worrying us, so after speaking to the pediatrician, we took him to the emergency room. It was a good thing we did, he has a staph infection! It is a complication of his chicken pox, and luckily we caught it early. They have put him on some powerful antibiotics, and we're keeping a close eye on him for the next few days. Please pray that the antibiotics work quickly. The doctor said that it will take as many as 3 to 4 days to start working. If he gets any worse we will have to take him back to the hospital and they will admit him. It doesn't seem to be bothering him any, he's as active as ever! I'll update you all in a few days. My family leaves Sunday morning. We all have really enjoyed having them here. My sister has been here for two weeks, and even though I'm sure she's ready to go home, it will be a tearful goodbye for sure! Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.
