I should have knocked harder on that wood...

Yes, I definitely jinxed us with that last blog post. Now, we are ALL sick, except for Tyler. He has this amazing immune system--this is not the first time that the rest of us have all been sick and he hasn't gotten it yet. Anyway, we're all pretty miserable. Emalyn is finally starting to get better though, so that's good. But the rest of us are stuck with horrible sore throats, a little laryngitis, and runny noses. So it's probably good that none of you were able to make it to share our bacteria-ridden brownies last week. I'm most worried about Krysta, I hope it doesn't turn into something worse with her. So far, I think she just has a sore throat and she sounds a little hoarse (which is bad enough), but no temperature. Please keep her in your prayers.

We heard from Ryan and Mel today, that Matthew's surgery today went well. He had to have surgery to correct Pyloric Stenosis, which is a shrinking or hardening of the opening from the esophagus to the stomach (Thanks Mom!). That poor little guy is having such a hard start to his life. Hopefully, he's just getting all his trials in early, and life will just get better for him. We're so excited to see him in April. Our hearts go out to Ryan and Melanie, and the rest of their kids. Surgery on a baby is so stressful and worrisome. We love you guys!

Ouch! I'm sorry to hear that. I guess little Tyler is the toughest one! I really hope Krysta gets better soon, she's still so little :-(
Do you have more pictures of her? I'm sure she's change a lot.

I'm sorry to hear you are all sick. We are just getting over that yucky congestion/sorethroat thing too. If Krysta doesn't have a fever I wouldn't worry about her. My Kailey has been really congested too. I've just boiled water on the stove to get the air humid and keep the congestion loose. It really works. It's hard at this age, cause you can't give them anything. Hope you get over it soon.
