Caleb is home now! They got home a few hours ago and I fed both Caleb and Rich some homemade wheat bread and homemade chicken soup. Then they both took naps.
Caleb is pale and exhausted and still a little croupy. The doctor said not to be surprised if he gets a little bit worse again tonight, but that he should be fine.
Seth woke up once last night while I was already up nursing baby Sarah. It was nice timing…I gave him medicine and held him for a little bit and then he slept the rest of the night through. He is clingy and grumpy but he is trying to be happy and brave.
On another note….one of our hens had hatched out 6 baby chicks today! We just love to watch them, they are so cute as they pop in and out from under their mama’s wings and explore around her in the wood shavings.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all the prayers and well-wishes.
Good to be Home 
Oh, what wonderful news! Praise the Lord…. our Healer. Hope that everyone continues to get better, and rested up 🙂 Yey for the baby chicks! They must be a nice distraction.

PTL. So happy to hear all is well.
That’s good news! Your mother’s heart must be happy to have everyone under one roof again!
I kept looking for an update this afternoon – and was so glad to read that Caleb is home. PTL – and thanks for keeping us updated.
So thankful that Caleb is home! You are such a good mama to have bread and soup ready for Rich and Caleb. Love the pics- the baby chicks are so cute and fuzzy! I pray that you all get the rest you need, and that Caleb and Seth will continue to get better. Much love, Hannah
@alaskahannah – Did you notice that Seth is wrapped up in the quilt you made him?
Yes I did! I was about to send you a msg about it. Makes me so happy to see Seth using it! I’d forgotten how much I liked those fabrics.
Prayers answered! Alleluia!!
Praise God everyone is home and getting better! That soup looks delicious. Looking at your picture, I just had a flash of fall/winter! Soup is such a cozy food!
Wow,I can imagine what you are going through, we had a similar spell back in the spring go through my kids too,it is so scary when little ones can’t breath well and even when they do sleep , us moms don’t (well very well anyhow) I am so glad to hear he is doing good enough to go home! You and Rich must be exhausted.
This is such good news! I came on to see how things were going. Praise God your son is home and husband too!
Amen! so happy that Caleb is back at home, with his momma and he is getting some rest. What a wonderful thing for you to make homemade bread and soup. That is what he needs. 🙂 I am still praying. Get some rest when you can. Much love
Oh Shanda, I am so glad that your family is on the mend. Do know that I’ve been praying for your beautiful family this weekend. I can only imagine the emotional roller coaster it has been. Praise God that all your little ones and your kind husband are all under the same roof again. I rejoice with you! May speedy recoveries continue to take place, in Jesus great name!! May God grant you much comfort and rest and peace.
Praise the Lord!
so glad he’s home in can be in his mama’s arms.~
So glad prayers have been answered and your babies are getting better. That must have been very scary!
Yay! What a blessing! Hope and pray tonight will be a little easier on you.

Thanks for the update hun! I have been praying for your kiddies as you go through this time of sickness.Glad Caleb is home and starting to feel better. {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}
I am so glad your boys are getting better. I used to have croup when I was little. I can remember having camphorated oil rubbed on my chest, and having to lean over a teakettle on the stove to breathe the steam.
I’m so glad Caleb is home and doing better! 🙂 We will keep praying for him and the rest of your family.
{{hugs}}glad everyone is home now

Oh Shanda, so glad to hear that Caleb is home and well. I have not been on here as my family is all visiting us. I will pray you all get well. What a blessing to have your family all there and eating homemade soup and bread!! Caleb’s long eyelashes are so adorable.I have such EXCITING NEWS…I am going to be a GRANDMA!! Alicia and Nick are expecting. I jumped up and down when they told us I will put up a post maybe tomorrow…but just had to tell you now.Love and hugs, Jenny
Wow,we were away for three days with no internet access so I was surprised to hear what all happened at your house! So glad that Caleb is on the mend,praying that the other kiddos will all recover quickly!P.S.The chicks are so cute!
Praise God that your son is home again and on the mend. Praying all of you will be better soon and out playing in the wonderful outdoors again. I don’t know how you do all you do! Fresh bread and soup, caring for sick ones, newborn, chickens who need tending too and keeping all of us updated. You really are an awesome mommy. Hugs from me too!!!
so glad he’s back home and on the mend. Sickness is just not fun, and then when it makes it’s rounds, it seems to go on and on….This summer sure seems like its had its share of sickness, more than normal around these parts. I’m usually ready for summer, for a break from winter illnesses. Cute hen/chicks pic. Isn’t that so fun to watch. =)
So glad he is home. I pray that things continue to go well with everyone.
Oh Shanda, you’ve been through so much! You’re a wonderful, Mamma, taking care of your sweet babies! Praying for you right now!
Glad to hear Caleb is home and doing a little better, and I hope Seth starts feeling better, too.
So glad to hear that everyone is doing better!
I hope you know that my lack of comments on the previous posts wasn’t in anyway a lack of prayers or concern. {hugs} I’ve had him and the other kiddos on our prayer list. 😉 Love to you all.
hooray.!!!!!!!
I am so glad “MY” buddy is feeling better, that must have been scary. Great photo post I enjoyed seeing all the details!
