Dear Friends, Calling on you again for prayer. Erin spiked a fever last night of 101.8. So we had to come back to the hospital for IV antibiotics and a battery of tests to figure out why. So far they have done blood cultures, an EKG, and 2 different antibiotics. She still has the fever this morning. Please pray that the fever goes away fast. Last time she had a fever, they said that 85% of the time they never figure out what causes the fever, they just treat it generically. You all know how miserable you feel when you have a fever. Well add some bone pain and a prickly sensation on your skin and you get the picture. On a happy note, our favorite housekeeper, the "singing angel" just happened (God's timing) to be on this floor when we got here and came in at midnight to have a sweet prayer with us. Isn't God so sweet to provide a fun encounter even in these circumstances? So we always know He is here hanging out with us, providing, guiding, & loving us. WOW. Thanks for the prayers. janet
"Is any of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be for forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5: 14-16

Erin,
I am soooooooo sorry you had to go back to the hospital : (
I do hope they figure out what's causing the fever and you're feeling better soon (or feeling better "right quick" as they say here in the south).
I love that the "singing angel" was there to greet you and provide a little blessing. You know, you actually have a lot of singing angels out there. We may not be able to sing (we can blog though!) or are anywhere near the appearances of angels, but we're out here, none the less.
We hear your call for prayer and we will not cease. Love you, Erin!

Lord, your promises help give us peace in the midst of suffering...
You are defending the afflicted, crushing the oppressor, and YOU endure forever.
Give Erin quiet, peaceful rest as she fights this fever...break it soon for her yet if it is needed, let it finish quickly and be gone.
Send your calming, cooling rain over her like no other.
Let her know and feel our prayers moment by moment, because we love her to the deepest depths of our love.
Psalm 72:4-6
He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy;he will crush the oppressor. He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations. He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.

We are praying for your fever to go away now! We praise God that you had an angel waiting on you last night - and many, many watching over you now.
Erin, we are so sorry you had to go back into the hospital but isn't it a good thing they know what to do for you?
Angels are all sizes and shapes as well as all walks of life.
Bless you.
Love, Eunice and Herb

God is always there to provide what you need, and I am praying that this stay in the hospital will be a short one, but that they will help you with the pain and with the fever. Be kind to the singing angel and listen for the voice of God in those sweet prayers. We would all be there to surround you if we could. Keep up the good fight and we will do likewise on our end. Prayer warriors arise and do what God has graced you to do.
Praise Him for all things,
Love,
Sheri
Erin,
I'm sorry we didn't get to hang out today. But, now you just have a good time to look forward to :). Praying for your fever to go down and looking forward to seeing you soon. Love you lots!
