April 28th God's provision and another hospital run
I woke up this morning having no idea what I was going to do. How am I going to find a babysitter for everytime we have to leave the house?
(God has been teaching me to trust Him... I'm a slow learner...)
I called everyone. I called our pastor's wife and got the names and numbers for every homeschooler in our church!
No luck. Called a friend that she and I swap babysitting for each other, I begged, but they already had friends coming to play. . . Then it dawns on me, our kids Sunday School teacher have three adorable little girls, maybe they use a local sitter... Two minutes into the phone call she is insisting that she will watch as many of ours as I want to leave with her!
We brought pizza and cookies and she quietly tells me, "I was thinking we'd get ice-cream and go to the park." She is such a blessing! They had a great time!
Visitation for the little people went well. Number 6 had a hard time leaving her momma which broke my heart.
On the way home I talked to our baby's pediatrician. She suggested we try 3/4 soy milk and 1/4 regular milk. Immediately after finishing his first "mixed" bottle he started hacking and coughing. It was awful, he was sounding more and more congested, wheezing and gasping so I rushed him to the hospital, leaving my brave man at home with 7! By the time we got there and checked in he had begun clearing up. It'll be a while before we try that again!

I'm so glad you were able to find such sweet help. I can imagine how difficult it is trying to juggle so many little ones. Keeping you in my prayers Danielle; I know the Lord has you right in the palm of His hand. You are a treasure.
