This is Liam on Christmas Eve, a picture of health and about as happy and contented as a 3 month old baby can be. And then the phone call early this morning. Liam had picked up a bit of a cough from his older brothers who naturally caught it at school. We saw him on Saturday night and his chest congestion was worse, but he was happy and eating well. That night at 4 am or so, he got admitted to the hospital. As those of you familiar with our health care system know, you have to be in a bad way before you are admitted. After various x-rays and tests it was determined that he has pneumonia, not good for someone so young. He has been getting treatments all day and as I write this (Sunday evening) there is an improvement in his condition. We and many others have been praying for him and continue to do so. It is amazing how much love and concern there is for someone who has only been in this world for three months. We are so endeared to him and love him so much already that we would gladly take his place in a heartbeat. For those who are reading this and say a prayer for Liam, may God bless you richly for doing so, and we thank you. Monday, December 29, 2008

Thoughts and prayers for you all....such a tough thing to see a sick baby!
We are praying. I got Rachel's e-mail yesterday. Poor little Liam. We went through the same experience with Dominic when he was 4 months old...bronchial pneumonia. He was on antibiotics and a nebulizer for weeks...but he recovered and hasn't had any health problems like that since. I pray the same will be true for Liam.
