My Baby

[LMarsh]

I know with all the strife going on right now in the world I shouldn't be asking for prayers for this small thing.
But....I really need your prayers for my 8mo old son.
Aaron has been sick since Monday night.  He is vomitting and has diarrhea.  
I try to breastfeed him and he immediately throws it up.
This illness has been going through my house for two weeks now.  My husband had it for a week and my 2 year old had it for a week.  I don't think the baby can survive a week of this.
I'm giving him Pedialyte in a bottle and trying to pump a bit of breast milk which I am not successful at to save for when he can tolerate a bottle of half Pedialyte half breast milk.
He is very hungry and when he is awake is constantly crying.
I know from my husband and other son that they were in alot of pain from stomach cramping and back cramping.
Please lift him up in prayer and  for me to find the energy for all four of our children and my daily tasks.
I've lost about 10 pnds myself from worry over the past few weeks...I'm also praying that I don't come down with this and can't care for everyone.
Thank you and God Bless,
LMarsh

Oklahoma Howdy to LMarsh,

I will definitely be praying for you and your family. Other than Jesus, our children are one of our most precious gifts from God. God loves to hear us when we pray for our children.

Love In Christ,
Tom

I will also hold up  your baby in prayer, and have asked God to send a ministering angel to help you today.

No, this isn't a small thing!   Its never a "small thing" when our kids are so miserable!

Lord, I lift up LMarsh's son...please touch his body and help him to be well, and I pray that his mommy will be comforted and strong enough to care for her family while they're sick.

I ditto Willow there sister.  Sick kids are no little thing!  I'm prayin' for the little guy and y'all.  Kids are tough.  God is good.

Psalm 91
5   Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6   Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7   A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.


O mighty God. let these prayers ring true in our hearts and Your heart too. Sustain our sister LM and her family. Push away the illness and bring waves of renewal on tides of salvation and faith. Grant LM a strong and healthy body, mind and spirit. Bless her as she ministers to others in Your service. In Christ Jesus I trust and pray, amen

Praying! A small child being ill is a scary thing because they are so small and defenseless!  

Is there a chance that you can take the baby in to see a doctor? We dealt with something similiar and our baby was given liquid Jell-O, which stayed down, and then moved on to the bland diet.

And don't try to be super-mom and wife at this time! If it can wait - let it wait! Dirt will wait!   Anytime Aaron naps, rest with him! Keep your strength up! Praying for you all!

Lord we give you all praise and honour. Your are the Creator of all life. We place before your throne your child Aaron, and his family. His Mommy needs rest , rest that only comes from You. We ask You send peace , healing , comfort to this family. In the name of Jesus the Christ Amen

Thank you so much for your prayers this past week.
This is the first time since yesterday I have been able to check the boards.  
Aaron is much improved.  I did call the doctor several times and get some much needed advice.  He is finally back on toast, applesauce and mom's   milk without it coming back up today.  
It brought tears to my eyes and heart reading your heartfelt prayers and I know they were truly answered.  The scripture was so wonderful to read as well. I haven't picked up a bible between caring for the baby and the kids, cooking and trying to get the kids some clean clothes to wear.
I was going to read the boards but I think I need to go sit at the feet of Our God and Lord Jesus and give thanks and ask for a restoring of mind, body and spirit.
God Bless You all richly.
Love in Christ,
LMarsh

Thank You, Lord!   Wonderful news!

Thank you Jesus!

God is GOOD[/b] sister!!  And just let me say, as a father...

He is finally back on toast, applesauce and mom's   milk without it coming back up today.

...he's 8 months?  And you're feeding him toast and applesauce?  You go girl!!!!  Had a buddy that raised his kids on hard foods quick.  Makes 'em stronger!

Hope y'all are getting much needed rest now.  God bless!

Ps 16:7-9

7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

You do that! That's the most precious spot you can be! So good to hear that Aaron's doing better!
