Gatorade and a Flat Tire

Luke has decided he is thankful for Gatorade. The doctor told us to get Gatorade for him. (which is a special thing at our house). So when John brought home a bottle...he opened it up and started guzzling! I guess that bottle is just for Luke. Jake and Caroline quickly found a permanent marker and labeled it "LUKE". The doctor said that Luke got hit with two separate viruses...Rotavirus and croup...poor guy. We are trying our best to help him get better. The fever just won't go away.

One thing I am thankful for today is the fact that we made it to the doctor's office and back safely. When we got in the van the "inflate tires" light was on. Uh,oh...what does that mean? I remembered running over something two days ago and thinking... I hope that doesn't make me have a flat tire. Well... I got to the doctor OK and looked at the tire...very flat tire. After the visit, I went straight to a tire center.... looked like about an hour or so wait...very packed. Across the street was a Jiffy Lube and Caroline suggested I go there. Luke quickly agreed. They were both hungry. It was supper time and Luke still had a fever...poor guy. They both thought "Jiffy" sounded like a good bet. They were right. The nice man let me sit there with the kids in the van and he filled it up with air so we could make it home OK. Tomorrow we will have to figure out what to do...probably replace it. Thank you, Lord, for getting us home OK.
